X Factor winner Sam Bailey has won the battle for this year's Christmas No 1.
The 36-year-old former prison officer sold twice as many copies of her single, Skyscraper, than US star Pharrell Williams in second.
Bailey, 36, who was crowned the winner of the singing contest last week, is splitting all proceeds between Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and Together For Short Lives, a charity that helps children with life-threatening conditions.
Chancellor George Osborne has agreed to waive VAT on the release.
Bailey said: "Being No 1 is absolutely amazing. It really is the icing on the cake and it means Great Ormond Street Children's Charity and Together For Short Lives will benefit, which makes it extra special."
Bailey sold 149,000 copies of Skyscraper, outstripping Happy by Williams by more than two copies to one to become one of the fastest selling singles of the year.
One More Sleep, by the 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis, took the third spot.
Robbie Williams held on to top spot in the album chart with Swings Both Ways.
His record was neck- and-neck midweek with One Direction's Midnight Memories, but beat it to to the top spot by selling just 200 more copies.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
