xmas number 1

[Mr D Black]

I think it will be between pop idol winner or Nizlopi. I hope Nizlopi gets it as it seems a good tune.

What does everyone else think?

[kimbro44]

yeah i hope its the jcb song - i bought it yesterday..to be honest though i will be happy with whoever is number one as long as its not westlife !!!!

[JackDanielsU]

The JCB Song!!!!

or as Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 called it yesterday The Job song (bless him)

But probably going to Westlife, or X-factor muppet..sorry winner

[donegal]

i hope its the JCB song!!!!!!!

[vickilamb]

i don't really like any of them but anything other than westlife please.

[maggie01]

What's wrong with Westlife? I'm ducking!

[littleoldme]

Nothing that an AK-47, a shallow grave and a convenient lack of witnesses wouldn't put right.

OK, how many copies of the JCB Song do I have to buy to ensure a victory for proper music and creativity over bland soulless cover versions?

[A Chill Wind]

Unfortunately it'll be the X-Factor winner, given that his/her/their single will be out next Monday and I'd be surprised if Nizlopi sell more in the second week of release than the first. I'd prefer Nizlopi at the top of the chart but it's down to timing and marketing.

Don't forget that for the first time in a good few years there'll be a chart on Christmas Day.
