some acts used to try and release in January to try and sneak a surprise no1 in, I know Victoria Beckham tried and failed to do that once!
now most acts seem to wait until February and the BRIT awards to release something.
I woulden't be surprised to see Coldplay's Paradise climb to no1 once all of the Xmas music has slipped out the chart.
