Arthur's debut single, Impossible, went straight to the top of last week's Official UK Singles Chart.
But the Middlesbrough singer might just get pipped to the Christmas No 1 post, as midweek sales figures revealed The Justice Collective's Hillsborough charity single, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, is on course for the festive top spot.

According to the Daily Mail, Martin Talbot, Managing Director of the Official Chart Company, said: "This really is the closest No 1 battle we can remember - even closer than the legendary 2009 battle between Rage Against The Machine and Joe McElderry.
"The poll concludes at midnight on Saturday night (22 December), so there is a long way to go yet - but this one looks like going down to the wire."
Impossible became the fastest-selling X Factor winner's single ever after shifting more than 187,000 downloads on its first day on sale.
