UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e December 22nd 2012

Going straight in at No.1 is X-Factor winner James Arthur with Impossible, a song I haven’t heard and never will, hopefully.

Let’s get as far away from that as we can with Aphex Twin – Come To Daddy:

As such, Gabrielle Aplin drops to No.4 with The Power Of Love, that ghastly cover version you hear on the syrupy John Lewis advert.

Meanwhile, there are new entries in the Top 40 for:

• 2 Will.i.am Feat. Britney Spears – Scream & Shout
