Groove sees that 5 of the last 6 xmas number 1's are from the X Factor phenominom...Groove thinks this is a loada crap.
I agree with you, it shows that X-factor is the new Top of the Pops and shows that if you got a prime time TV slot and you play music on it that music will get in the charts and number 1 everytime - this is because Simon Cowell is controlling the media.
I'm put off most Christmas records as the TV shows that play them are always presented by celebrities like Jedward (Bevis and Butthead) though Noddy Holders alright!
I wonder what will be this year's No.1 single. I was expecting it would be a walkover for the X-Factor winner, as it seems to have been for the last few years...seems I may be wrong.
Heard about The Military Wives choir this morning on SKY news -the song hasn't been aired in Italy but I have had a listen on Youtube -it has all the ingredients of the winner -"feelgood", "tugs at the heartstrings" video - good singing from a competent choir and it has a Xmassy feel. The hint of mischief in the lead-singer's tattoos just stops it being too goody-goody as well!

It was on Hotmail news that Simon Cowell had already congratulated the Military Wives as the sales so far suggest massive swing for them away from the X-factor single - so hopefully it will remain that way and it won't be the X-factor.
The Military Wives choir, love this song, but can't listen to it without crying.
Well on the chart show last night they were saying that Little Mix have the Christmas Number 1 which is true because the next chart is actually on Sunday evening which makes it still Christmas - so the song that is Number 1 then will be like the 2nd one, it's because the way Christmas falls on the Sunday...
