"That's My Goal" is a song by English pop/R&B singer Shayne Ward, the winner of the second series of X Factor. It was released as the first single from his self-titled debut album on 21 December 2005. The song was first heard in the final of the aforementioned series, where it was performed by both Ward and X Factor runner up, Andy Abraham. The single was rush-released on 21 December 2005, which was a Wednesday. This is unusual as most new singles are released on a Monday to gain maximum sales for the UK Singles Chart the following Sunday. The late release was because Ward was only chosen as the artist on the night of Saturday 17 December, and delaying release until the next week would mean the song would not be a contender for the Christmas number one. The song sold 742,180 copies in this five-day period, which was more than enough to secure the 2005 Christmas number one, taking over from Nizlopi. It sold 313,000 copies on its first two day of sales, making it the third fastest-selling single of all time (behind Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" and Will Young's "Evergreen").[1] It was the second biggest-selling single of 2005 in the UK, and as of 2006[update], is the 69th biggest selling single in the UK. To date, it has sold 1.3 million copies in the UK.[2]
