Congratulations go out to James Arthur this week, as he becomes just the third X Factor winner to clock up 100 weeks on the UK Singles chart, following 2006 winner Leona Lewis and 2011 winner Little Mix (One Direction & Olly Murs have also clocked up more than 100 chart weeks, but neither won the show.
Naturally his first week on the chart was back in December 2012 with his winner's single, a cover of Shontelle's "Impossible".
He has now had 8 hit singles, with a 50% strike rate of Top 10 hits, of which two reached Number 1 - the aforementioned "Impossible" and "Say You Won't Let Go" in 2016.
Here he is with that first hit, followed by his complete chart career.
