Fairy Tale Of New York For Christmas No.1 2010 - Facebook Campaign
It's a new page, came across it today and to my understanding, it has just been set up today:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fairy-...4275888?v=wall I would totally be supporting this! The Ultimate Christmas song imho, travesty it got #2 in the UK charts when it was released, it was good it got #1 in Ireland, but it sooo deserved #1 in Uk too! Shows the true meaning of Christmas song! I'll defo be supporting! Who else?

far too many campaigns for this .. they'll all dilute each other and it'll just end up with the x factor song getting to number one.

Hard to believe he is still alive and Kirsty not, what were the odds of that.

What is it with all these Xmas number ! campaigns/? They're almost as bad as the XF.

I've never liked this song, TBH. Sounds like pub karaoke to me.

I believe there's already a page about this on Facebook.
I think it has over 1000 supporters... |

I don't think it has anything to do with the X-Factor though. I was reading the info section of the page and it said that they were doing it because this December would be the 10th anniversary of Kirsty MacColl's death. I don't think it has anything to do with the X-Factor. It would be a very apt Christmas No.1 because it would be a nice tribute to Kirsty. Even though it got no.1 in Ireland, Kirsty would probably have loved for it to got no.1 in the UK too because she's English isn't she? She sounds English in the song anyway
But yeah count me in. If enough people join we can do this! But how many people would have to join the page for it to get a no.1 and when would we have to buy the song???

It will still make the top 10 anyway, along with that Mariah tune.. |

This, like many others, is my favourite Christmas song ever. In fact, it's one of my favourite songs!
I quite like the fact it's never been Number 1 and I don't thik it should be. Like someone else on the thread said, following some Facebook campaign to get a song to Number 1 is no better than following the X Factor. Keep the Pogues off number 1 I say! |

Good choice, if this goes ahead it would be at least a proper Christmas song in the charts again!

I'm not gonna lie, I dislike this song very much! However I would buy it because, afterall, it is a Christmas song, and I'd rather a Christmas song as the Christmas #1 than random rubbish like 'Bird Is The Word' or that stupid silent 'song'!

I've always loved this song but as quite a few have said, the more 'let's get this to number 1' campaigns there are, the less chance they have of doing what they were designed to do in the first place (in stopping Cowell flooding the charts). This song never gets played in full now anyway as the words are bleeped out in case they 'offend'.

I like the song but at lot of people already have this. A lot of people may not be willing to buy it again.

I'm tempted to get a facebook page created to help get "Another rock n roll Christmas" to the No 1 spot this Xmas instead of the X factor winner.
And no I am not talking about the version which that nonce scum Glitter released. I'm talking about the Iron Maiden version .
