Whats the latest on Hillsborough v X factor or anyone else ? Also the 'classics' market. Is The Pogues the usual 'shoe in '?

James Arthur obviously nailed on for this weekend's Number One (record sales for XF winner), but this will surely peter out. Hillsborough single looks home and hosed for the Xmas top spot, so that's a bit of a no contest.
As for top Classic, Maria Carey is currently highest in the i-tunes chart and could represent a bit of value at 4s. Pogues obviously has favourite's chance, but looks a bit short to me. |

Dizzy, I fell into that trap! The pogues have more than one version in the charts which combined add to more than Mariah I suspect. They were higher last week in the charts and I'm pretty sure they will be again. But at the odds I can't see a lot of value anywhere. |

This weekend, football clubs around the country will officially give their backing to The Justice Collective’s Hillsborough tribute single, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, for the 2012 Christmas Number 1.
As a show of solidarity for the 96 fans who lost their lives during the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, this weekend stadiums across England, Scotland and Wales will be playing The Justice Collective’s cover of The Hollies' 1969 hit He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother during half time. They will also be asking fans to pre-order the track, which go on sale this Sunday (December 17), to ensure it becomes the Official 2012 Christmas Number 1. While The Justice Collective are the bookies’ favourite for this year’s Christmas Number 1, they face stiff competition from X Factor winner James Arthur’s Impossible, which has been released in aid of children’s charity Together For Short Lives. The Justice Collective features artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, Paloma Faith, Beverley Knight, Melanie C, Andy Brown (Lawson), Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes To Hollywood), Mick Jones (The Clash), Peter Hooton (The Farm), Chris Sharrock (Oasis), Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Ren Harvieu, Dave McCabe (The Zutons), Paul Heaton (The Beautiful South), Shane MacGowan (The Pogues), Hollie Cook, Jon McClure (Reverend And The Makers), John Power (Cast) and Gerry Marsden (Gerry And The Pacemakers). All proceeds from the track will be donated to the families of the Hillsborough victims on going legal costs in their battle for a new inquest into the tragedy, and to have the original 1991 inquest’s verdict of accidental death overturned. 96 Liverpool fans were killed at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989, when their team met Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final. A report by The Hillsborough Independent Panel earlier this year found that police had made "strenuous attempts" to deflect the blame for the tragedy on to fans. Attorney General Dominic Grieve has applied to have the original, 1991 Hillsborough inquest verdicts quashed, which is due to be heard by The High Court in London next Wednesday (December 19). You can watch the official video for The Justice Collective’s cover of He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother below, and you can click here to see this year’s Official Christmas Number 1 contenders.

It's a great tune & his 'cover' of it is excellent - when he sang it last week on XF, it was game over for me but strangely his price drifted.

Hi I read somewhere it was available for preorder on Nov 17th or thereabouts the article in the Liverpool evening paper says 100k preorders on about 24th Nov so would hope for some way above 100k, he says in hope.
