See, what I got from the brief exchange is that the Sun Singers of Akhet (which is how its subtitled on iPlayer) was either a religious thing or a group as opposed to a specific kind of species designation. Possibly referring to the actual singers (i.e Choristers, Merry etc). I didnt think the Seven Worlds surrounding one sun thing was directly linked to them at all.

The whole planet/sun thing however is a much more complicated kettle of fish I think. He does make a point of saying "can you feel the light of an alien sun" to Clara, but he then follows it up by saying "The SSoA believe life started on that one planet". And given that Tiaanamat etc. are asteroids and therefore not planets, and given the synopses that talked to 'the planet Akhaten' I assumed it was a planet. Yay for debate though. :)
