Band Aid heading for Christmas number one

HMV says Band Aid 20 is likely to stay at number one this weekend and could become the first million-selling single since Will Young's 'Evergreen' in 2002.

According to HMV neither Kylie nor Ronan is likely to knock Band Aid 20 off the top spot of the singles chart this weekend - meaning that superb rendition of 'Do They Know It's Christmas' (and the new version on side A) is pretty much guaranteed the Christmas number one spot. If sales continue at the current rate, Band Aid will soon beat Eamon's 'I Don't Want You Back' to become as the UK's biggest-selling single of the year, and could well become the first million-selling single since Will Young's 'Evergreen' in 2002.
