Most of us believed that when Shayne Ward released his second single this week, titled ‘No Promises’, it would top the charts as easily as his debut single did last December.

If early sales figures are any indicator though it would seem that Gnarls Barkley is currently heavily outselling X Factor winner Shayne Ward in the race for number 1. ‘Crazy’ shifted 35,000 units on Monday – more than double the 17,000 of Ward’s track ‘No Promises.’

Can Shayne claw his way back to the top by Saturday? His management company is certainly pulling out all the stops, even resorting to emailing many of Shayne’s fans a hand written note from The X Factor winner hinself. The note thanks everyone for their support and asks them to follow the link and buy his new single/album online.

Good Luck Shayne!
