British singer and songwriter James Arthur has released two studio albums, eleven singles (including four as a featured artist), and nine music videos. He won the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012 and released "Impossible" as the winner's single.

Following his X Factor victory, Arthur's winner's song, a cover of Shontelle's 2010 song "Impossible", was released as a charity single for Together for Short Lives. The single topped the UK Singles Chart in its first week of release. After 11 days, it was the seventh biggest-selling debut single from any contestant from The X Factor, with sales of 622,000. In its second week, the single dropped to number two, but reclaimed the number one spot in its third week, and stayed at the top for a further week. After three weeks, it was the fifth best-selling single of 2012 with 897,000 copies sold. After four weeks, it had sold 971,000 copies. As of 11 January 2013, the single has sold more than one million copies. The song also peaked at number one in Ireland, number two in Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. As of August 2013, the single has sold 1.2 million copies, 30,000 fewer than Alexandra Burke's version of "Hallelujah". To date, it has sold over 1.4 million copies in the UK, overtaking Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah" to become the best-selling winners single ever.[1]

On 7 August 2013, Arthur announced via Twitter that his next single would be called "You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You". The song was officially released worldwide on 20 October 2013 and debuted at number two in the UK, falling just behind Lorde's "Royals". Arthur's self-titled debut studio album, James Arthur, was released on 4 November 2013. The album charted in the UK at number two, behind Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2. "Recovery" was released as the album's third single on 15 December 2013 and debuted at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2014, following a string of controversies in the British media, he parted ways with Syco Music and in September 2015, signed to Columbia Records in Germany. A year later, he released a new single "Say You Won't Let Go", the first from his second studio album Back from the Edge, which gave him his second UK chart topper in his homeland and as of November 2017, it had sold eight million copies worldwide.[2] It also became his breakthrough hit in the US, reaching number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified triple platinum.
