The UK's newest heartthrob James Arthur, the winner of this year's X-Factor, has reclaimed his spot at the top of the pop charts.

Arthur's "Impossible" shot straight to the top of the charts when it was released earlier this month.

But it was overtaken last week in the Christmas charts by the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", a tribute song to the 1989 Hillsborough football stadium disaster.

That song, sung by a collaboration of famous artists like Paul McCartney is now at number five.

Will.i.am's new track "Scream and Shout" featuring Britney Spears is at number two and Psy's "Gangnam Style" moved up three places to third.

Meanwhile, in the album charts Emeli Sande's record "Our Version of Events" remained at number one.

Olly Murs' "Right Place Right Time" stayed at number two and pop div Rihanna moved up three places to third.
