Lazytown? All Angels? The ones towards the bottom seem more likely IMHO. |

If people put their money on anything other the winner of X Factor it's a waste. It is a forgone conlussion they'll be number one, sadly. Mind the other releases for the Christmas number one seem pretty dire.

Sadly that is unlikely to happen again. As the record companies seem to pander too much to the music buying populus and just churn out any old c**p for Christmas. Too many either novelty or reality records (CD's) at Christmas. And yet they are lapped up, yukkk.

If anyone should be blamed, it's the idiots that buy these records... |

Why is Tony Christie even on this list? I thought the bookies would be right on the mark with what is and isn't fashionable, but Amarillo is so last year.
Sandi Thom is another one whose time has been and gone. Very quickly. Maybe all DS posters should agree on focussing our attention on one track, all download it just before the chart is compiled, and try to stop the X Factor winner getting it yet again. The 'race' for the Christmas No1 used to be a Great British tradition, now it's like the football Premiership when you know exactly who's going to win it before the 'competition' starts. :yawn: |

I don't watch X Factor, it's a waste of time and futile in the long term. Where are Shayne Ward and Chico now? Where's the originality and the records without a synthesiser playing drums in the background? How I wish The Darkness had got to number one in 2003, because that was a brilliant Christmas single. But no, people bought the most depressing, anti-Christmas song possible! |

It's unfair and terribly boring.

Seems like a bit of a random list to me but surely it's too early anyway.
What was number one last year? |

Shayne bloody Ward - That's My Goal
Where is he now? Who cares? Simon Cowell is so smug with this sort of thing. I don't mind the honest criticism he gives to contestants, but to just take over the Christmas charts and promote someone who is never going to be seen again is just plain wrong! Grrr..... |

Yeah even I who actually watch Xfactor would rather a chrismassy song went to number one. I think its wrong the way the christmas number one spot always gets hijacked by xFactor, because the singers never do very well afterwards anyway. I only watch the show cause its good entertainment.
Also I LOVED that darkness song back in 2003, and I was so shocked that that depressing load of nonsense went to number one instead. There was nothing happy and cheery about that song whatsoever, and thats what christmas is supposed to be about. |

Although I guess there's those that would argue that some find Christmas a really miserable time and that miserable songs sum that up... but lets face it who wnats to be reminded of that...
