One Direction lead calendar charts
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 November 2012
Hey, who cares about Billboard charts and best-selling albums, what’s going down in the HMV Calendar Chart this year, that’s what you’re all really here to find out isn’t it?
Well, more good news for the 1D camp in that department, as the Syco boyband are leading UK calendar sales this year, despite diving chap Tom Daley hoping to cash in on all that Olympic fever (remember that?) by taking his top off and tolerating an awful lot of water being thrown at him.
But the 1D boys – Harry, Niall, Zayn, erm, Bob and Sebastian? – are leading by quite a margin. A very big margin in fact. According to the Daily Mail, the 1D calendar has outsold every other one in the top ten, and has caused a 10% rise in calendar sales overall.
Anyway, here’s the top ten:
1. One Direction
2. Justin Bieber
3. Tom Daley
4. Keith Lemon
5. JLS
6. Cliff Richard
7. Cheryl
8. Kelly Brook
9. Olly Murs
10. The Wanted
