Whatever song gets the Christmas No.1 spot, it'll be a pile of sh*t.
Just like last year's rip-off, the previous year's b*llocks. It's been 10 years since the last decent Christmas No.1. 1995 saw Mick "The Fiddler" Jackson's "Earth Song". Then '94 had "Stay Another Day" by East 17.

2004: Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid 20 (Band Aid 1984, Band Aid 11 1989)************8

Interestingly, the songs with "*******" after them denote the only Christmas songs claiming the Christmas No.1. (10 in the last 53 years).

I'm suprised the likes of Wizzard (Wish it could be Christmas Everyday), Gary Glitter (at the time - Rock and Roll Christmas), John Lennon (Happy Christmas, War is Over), and Paul McCartney (Wonderful Christmas Time) never made it to the no.1 Christmas spot.

This year will almost certainly see another pathetic song take it. (As Dawson said - the X factor winner).

What is the deal with record companies cramming the Christmas charts with sh*te, only to delay the release of quality music? Do they really want everyone to say "F*ck you"?

The charts are an utter joke nowadays, and anyone who pays £4 for a single, or £15.99 for an album by nine-tenths of the garbage acts around today, wants to get their head checked.

I just hope someone re-releases a classic like "A Fairytale in New York". Now that is a heck of a tune.

the pogues are actually re-releasing there song fairytale in new york... and i believe i heard somewhere that kylie was gonna do somewhere over the rainbow

by **Garymac** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 3:04 pm

Id like it to be the JCB song, i love it, but i think it will be Westlife, and dont get me started on them becuase i owuldnt p!ss on them or louis walsh if someone set them on fire, in fact id quite to be the one who set them on fire

by **drummerphil** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 5:32 pm

Come on... Westlife are not that bad!!! I think I would rather have them at number one at crimbo than the X Factor winner!
As for Chico being num one, I don't think he will. The ones who have been put out over the last few weeks are not allowed to release anything untill the winner has recorded and released their single. He said that himself on Radio one the other week, on the Chris Moyles show.
I think that Andy the bin man will win it tonight and will probably be number one at Christmas.......

by **greenred** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 10:44 pm

Shayne or Andy will be Christmas No1.We`ll find out which any minute now.

by **dward** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 10:46 pm

COME ON ANDY!!!!!!!!!!

by **greenred** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 11:05 pm

by **stmichael** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 11:12 pm

by **El Nino_#9** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 11:47 pm

christmas number one will be NIZLOPI-JCB SONG.
but i am rooting for girls aloud! for one reason only!

by **kazza 1** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 12:09 am

I dont really like the song that Shayne will be releasing! Its not really a christmas song! But as someone said before, it will probably be no 1.......

by **Ciggy** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 12:13 am

I wanted Andy to win but Shane is a proper heart throb pop star, but I just love Andys voice and the songs he has sang.
No loosers tonight anyway they where all great. :cool:
