The Christmas No 1 is...
The X Factor winner AGAIN!
This is getting ridiculous. I don't know why they even bother with it any more as we all know it's gonna be the XF winner anyway. What does anyone else think? |

I read on the XF forum that it's the lowest selling XF winners single ever so maybe it is starting to go away

It's the first Xfactor number 1 since 2010 but I'd still rather it was any other artist.

The X Factor does have four months of hype behind it, so it's not surprising when it charts highly. It doesn't matter who wins, they could have a toilet flush going for three minutes, if it's X Factor promoted, people will buy it.
She'll be forgotten about by Easter anyway. |

Interestingly Pharrell Williams was no.1 on The Big Top 40.

Stupid
I don't watch X-Factor anymore but please can they move the show as Christmas Number One is no longer relevant thanks to that stupid show!
I remember back in my youth helping Mr Blobby to number one ... I want a decent battle not a number one by default! |

Good.
Only 12 months before people start complaining about the Christmas number 1 again. |

The only consolation is that all the proceeds go to charity

So the ACDC campaign failed? All the better. I like following a band as big as them who has never had a number 1 song.

I haven't heard it, don't know who has won or even what the song is called. Hopefully I can keep it that way

In 2012 James Arthur was number one the week before and the week after but not Christmas week, which was The Justice Collective. |
