Katie Melua, the biggest selling British female artist in the world in 2006, commented on the chances of the single becoming the Christmas number one: “It would be amazing if the single stayed at the top of the charts next week as that would mean a huge amount of money had been raised.”
‘What A Wonderful World’ is only available in Tesco stores and by download at Tesco.com.
