The Christmas Number One

The biggest number one single of the year will be decided this week. Since the advent of awful ‘reality’ TV, what has happened for the past few years is that the winner of Pop Idol or the X-factor has been hyped into the number one spot. This year there’s a campaign to oust them. I know it’s cynical anti-marketing, but as far as production and subject goes it is the perfect anti X-factor song. See Dave Gorman’s blog for more details.
