"The Justice Collective have overtaken James Arthur in the race for this year&amp;#039;s Christmas number one. The Hillsborough charity single &amp;#039;He Ain&amp;#039;t Heavy, He&amp;#039;s My Brother&amp;#039; is now 3,400 copies ahead of the X Factor champion&amp;#039;s winner&amp;#039;s single &amp;#039;Impossible&amp;#039;.      This comes just 24 hours after Arthur was leading the chart by 3,000 copies in the first midweek update yesterday (December 18). &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot; said Official Charts Company Managing Director Martin Talbot. &amp;quot;The poll concludes at midnight on Saturday night [December 22], so there is a long way to go yet - but this one looks like going down to the wire.&amp;quot; Arthur has currently shifted 106,300 copies of &amp;#039;Impossible&amp;#039; this week, while The Justice Collective are ahead with sales of 109,700. The Justice Collective are made up of a group of musicians including Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Melanie C.
