Christmas number 1
Apparently Guy Chambers is working with various artists to re-record "He aint heavy (he's my brother)" and release it on 17th December.
The proceeds of the single will go to funding the continuing 'Justice for the 96' campaign, including legal fees and will directly compete with the Xfactor winners single for Christmas number 1. So do you guys think this will knock Xfactor off the no 1 spot this year? Should it? |

If neither is anything to do with Christmas then they can both sod off and stop ruining the Christmas #1.

Here are the artists involved
Mel C, Shane MacGowan, Mick Jones (The Clash), Peter Hooton (The Farm), Pete Wylie (The Justice Tonight Band), Richard Hawley, Chris Sharrock (Oasis), Ren Harvieu, Dave McCabe (The Zutons), Paul Heaton (Beautiful South), Hollie Cook, Jon McClure (Reverend & The Makers), John Power (Cast), Beverley Knight, Gerry Marsden (Gerry and the Pacemakers). Interestingly enough Robbie Williams has also been confirmed to feature in the song. As I am a LFC supporter, I will be buying this record instead of the X Factor winners single, regardless who wins. |

So do you guys think this will knock Xfactor off the no 1 spot this year? Should it? Obviously X Factor doesn't aim for Christmas Number 1 anymore and so it shouldn't. Really, the final is only being moved forward again like last year so it guarantees the winner number 1 in the charts on the week of its release. |

As long as it's not the obligatory crap X Factor song, I really don't mind. It's the not the be and end all it used to be, having a Christmas No 1 now.

Why are there no longer any decent Xmas songs?
I know it's for a good cause, but the charity covers and anti X Factor campaigns are just as boring as the X Factor number one grabbing was in the first place. No current bands ever try to release a decent, light-hearted Christmas song these days, not since the Darkness, for me.
