Following Fleur East's showstopping rendition of Uptown Funk , the release date of the superb Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars track has been brought forward by six weeks to tonight.
The track which is already Top 10 in America , was not due for a UK release until January 11th 2015. Last night , Fleur East's version , which is chart ineligible , scaled straight to the top of the iTunes chart. It's the first time any X Factor contestants performance etrack has hit the iTunes top spot.
East's series stealing performance caused much fanfare on social media on Saturday night and many believe she'll win the 11th series of the show at Wembley Arena this weekend.
Ladbrokes has already suspended betting on Ronson and Mars being this years Christmas Number 1 and possibly beating Fleur East to the coveted position.
Uptown Funk is the first new material from Ronson in over 4 years and trails his forthcoming third studio album.
The man who famously produced Amy Winehouse's legendary Back To Black album , first found commercial success in 2007 with his Version album. The album of covers by the likes of Lily Allen and Daniel Merriweather saw him win a BRIT in 2008.
Bruno Mars , meanwhile , is no stranger to having enormous worldwide hits. The Grenade singer who headlined the SuperBowl half time show , this year , is expected to release his third studio album next year. It follows the worldwide success of previous albums Doo Wops and Hooligans (2010) and Unorthodox Jukebox (2012 )
