Bieber boost set to send NHS Choir to Christmas number one slot

Justin Bieber is putting his heart ahead of the chart.

Their main intention was to raise as much money as possible for health charities including Carers UK and Mind – and to highlight their healthcare colleagues’ sterling work. Let’s do the right thing and help them win. Love Yourself is at Number 2, Sorry is at Number 3, and What Do You Mean rounds off the Top 5 It is Adele’s “Hello” that slots into the middle of the Bieber sandwich at Number 4.

The 22-year-old Canadian star also tweeted a link to the single’s dedicated website.

And the NHS Choir are absolutely thrilled with the news!

However, Bieber urged his legions of fans to vote for “A Bridge Over You“, a single by the NHS Choir, with all proceeds going to charity.

The choir’s mash-up “A Bridge Over You” on Friday finished nearly 31,000 copies ahead of the Biebs in the singles competition.

“Thank you SO very much to all our followers and supporters”.

Getting the title of U.K. Christmas number one song is a big friggin’ deal but for Justin Bieber the Christmas season is more about giving than receiving.

In response, bookmaker Coral suspended betting with spokesman John Hill saying: “It’s hard to see the NHS Choir not getting the top spot now that Justin Bieber, their only rival, is behind their charity song”.

Martin Talbot, the chief executive of the Official Charts Company, said: “What a fantastic result for the NHS Choir to claim the 2015 Christmas No 1. There couldn’t be a more deserving group of winners”.

Her album, 25, has already made chart history and now holds the top spot for the fifth week running.
