X Factor's Matt Cardle Claims Christmas Number One From Biffy Clyro

December 20, 2010
X Factor's Matt Cardle Claims Christmas Number One From Biffy ClyroX Factor winner Matt Cardle has taken this year's Christmas number one with 'When We Collide'.

The singer's debut single, a cover of Biffy Clyro's 'Many Of Horror', sold 439,000 copies in its first week.

It prevented a Facebook campaign to get the original to number one, as well as Rihanna's Drake-featuring single 'What's My Name', which came in at number two.

Cardle's single is the second biggest selling song of the year. He called the triumph “mind-blowing”.

Meanwhile, Take That remained at number one for a fifth week with their new album 'Progress'.

Rihanna's 'Loud' was the second biggest selling album last week, while Michael Buble's 'Crazy Love' was third.
