*actually i wouldnt ever buy an x factor track

below is a report from christmas past that sums up the way a vital part of the festive season has been lost .


The band, who will release the single (Christmas Time) Don't Let the Bells End, are currently 5/1, according to bookmakers William Hill.

The only artist ahead of them is the as-yet-un-named Pop Idol winner, which has odds of 3/1.

a track not released by an artist not known can beat a true christmas song ,
THIS MADNESS MUST END .

[Jenifer]

Well that clears that up then

[Annete]

It's a lost cause I'm afraid - people said it last year, and the year before, and the year before that - but they still whizzed to the top of the charts over the festive period.

It's funny though - the piece you've quoted about The Darkness being predicted to be beaten by the Pop Idol winner. The Darkness were beaten that year, but by Gary Jules and that Mad World song.

[Katrine]

Anything that stopped The Darkness should be applauded.

[George]

What, like Justin Hawkins' drug addiction?

I completely agree and considering in another thread about christmas songs I said I have been unimpressed with the majority of offerings at christmas this decade, I do place X Factor as a contributory cause of that. I wouldn't mind so much if they actually had a christmas themed song but quite honestly, the last few have just been typical ballads that could have been released at any time of the year.

It's going to be number 1.

It's gets around 9 million viewers on average. Just a small portion of the viewers will make it number 1.
