New Year UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e January 5th 2013

Climbing to No.1 is X-Factor winner and dullard James Arthur with Impossible, but instead of playing that, I’ll stick with the Xmas No.1, the song for the Hillsborough campaign, The Justice Collective with a cover of He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. I’m not a fan of charity songs, though. They all feel very “80s” and I do feel that this is one song I’ve heard way too many times.

You can hear the song here:

And that song drops to No.5 this week.
