Justin Bieber backs NHS Choir for… 5:47PM

This year’s Christmas Charts sees a two horse race between Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself and the NHS Choir.

The NHS single is a mash-up of cover of Fix You by Coldplay and Bridge Over Trouble Water by Simon & Garfunkel where all proceeds from the track go toward the NHS.

Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend has only gone and told his millions of fans to buy the NHS Choir’s single this week because it’s for charity.

An amateur choir of NHS employees is racing to stardom just hours before sales close for the Christmas No 1.

He tweeted: “So for 1 week it’s ok not to be #1”. This is what it’s all about.

Coral bookmakers announced they were suspending bets on who would claim the Christmas Number One spot as Bieber’s tweets had all but guaranteed a win for the NHS Choir.

Stormzy’s Shut Up is holding firm in the Top 10 after he launched a campaign for Christmas number one, settling at number nine in the chart update.

The outcome is likely to be close but one thing that appears certain is that we won’t have an X Factor victor in the top spot this year.

The battle is now the closest festive chart race in years, since Rage’s Killing In The Name took on Joe McElderry’s The Climb and ultimately won. “I thought getting the song to number one would be a fantastic celebration of the NHS and a big morale booster as morale is low at the moment”.

Justin Bieber has a heart after all – or maybe just good PR advice.

2015’s Christmas Number One will be announced on Christmas Day. She covered the 1973 track Forever Young by Bob Dylan and this entered the chart at number nine with just 39,000 combined sales.

Justin Bieber is on course to score the cherished U.K. Christmas No. 1.
