James Arthur Smashes 1million Sales Barrier
'Impossible' is the 127th song to do so
James Arthur’s debut single ‘Impossible’ has smashed the 1million sales barrier.
Over the course of just five weeks, The X Factor winner’s version of the Shontelle track has become the 127th song in the UK to reach the impressive landmark.
Martin Talbot, the Official Charts Company’s Managing Director, said: "Hitting the million mark in around a month is a fantastic achievement for James Arthur. X Factor winners often score strong first week sales, but to push through to the million mark so quickly is truly impressive."
News of the feat comes just a day after ‘Impossible’ was nominated for the Best British Single gong at next month’s BRIT Awards.
As if that wasn’t enough, James has today penned a lucrative recording deal with Simon Cowell’s label Syco home to One Direction, Little Mix, Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, Il Divo, Cher Lloyd and Labrinth.
James enthused: “I am thrilled to be part of the Syco family, working with Simon and his team is exactly where I want to be. I can't wait to get into the studio to start work on my record!”
