As the world enters 2012, we have also seen some changes in the UK's single's chart, with Coldplay knocking Military Wives off the top spot, with their Grammy-nominated song "Paradise." "Paradise" is taken from Coldplay's fifth studio album "Mylo Xyloto," which has set a new Official Charts record for the most digital copies sold during an album's first week of release. Even though Military Wives' Christmas number one single "Wherever You Are" fell to the fourth position, the women from Plymouth sold more than 556,000 copies of their single in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The wives may have benefited from their professional vocal training, but it was their messages in the song that touched the audience. Composer Paul Mealor and choral guru Gareth Malone, used the personal letters that were sent from the wives to their husbands who were serving in Afghanistan, and composed a poem out of those words. The wives' own words have given them a voice. Instead of singing for fame, the wives are singing for a good cause. Proceeds from the sales will go to SSAFA Forces Help and the Royal British Legion to raise funds for the Armed Forces and their families. When being asked about what they feel that the song's becoming a Christmas No. 1, the wives said that there will be a lot of screaming and tears. They hope that the people who are buying the single are doing it because they want to support the forces and those left at home. "Wherever You Are" is available digitally and was released on 5 December 2011. ◆ 追蹤更多華視影音及圖文新聞：
