I think it's between Buble again, Bruno Mars or even Rod, as he has a big ITV special right after XF next Saturday.

 

So predict the No.1 album on Sunday 23rd please.

I think itll be Michael Buble which would be pretty remarkable - its bound to have been done before but who has been the no1 album 2 Xmases in a row?

I'd say the Beatles but that's without looking it up which I will do later. Have to agree, think it'll be Buble again but I bought it last year. Don't buy again for a few extra tracks!

 

 

EDIT: It's never been done with the same album but the last was Robbie with Swing When You're Winning in 2001 and Escapology in 2002.

 

The Beatles did it in '63, '64, '65, '67, '68 and '69. Only Sound Of Music soundtrack stopped them in 1966.

 

Elton John did it in 1973 and 1974 and Abba too in 1980 and 1981.

With the same album, I don't think that's been done before - not even with The Beatles!

No it hasn't.

It had 1.3 million sales between 24/10 and 1/1/12 then barely anything until 1/11/12 this year so it still has legs surely!!

Yes it has, The King & I soundtrack was No 1 for Xmas 56 & 57

South Pacific soundtrack was No 1 for Xmas 1958, 59 & 1960! :o

Thanks. I don't mind being corrected.

I don't think Buble will get it for a second year - Would not be surprised to see Rod take it seeing as Christmas albums seem to be in fashion in the UK or 1D with all the last minute stocking filler gift buying.

I think Bruno could easily do it if his first week sales are good enough. Otherwise, Rod Stewart or Michael Buble.

No-one thinks Olly Murs has a chance? He did have the Christmas number 3 album last year, behind big selling Michael Buble and Amy Winehouse albums. I don't think any albums this year are going to be getting close to the Buble/Winehouse sales of last year so Olly will be close. I reckon OneDirection are going to get big sales from post-Xmas iTunes gift card sales, the pre-Christmas CD present sales will go to Rod Stewart, Olly Murs and a bit of Buble?

Olly might fall behind the acts in the XF final next week - has he any other promo before xmas?

Unless Olly has promo lined up he won't beat Bruno given he has to sustain his sales for a week longer. If it's not a Christmas album from either Bublé or Rod it'll surely be "Unorthodox Jukebox".

I think One Direction and Rihanna will be #1 and 2, which order depending on who connects best with the audience with their new songs during the X factor final. Buble will be #3.

Must be: Steps - Light Up The World

Will be: I don't care

I think that Rod Stewart might get the Christmas #1 album this year! I don't see any of the other contenders getting it...

It will be between Bruno, Buble, Olly and 1D.

I don't think Bruno has a chance... 1D, Olly or Rihanna.

I think that Rod Stewart might get the Christmas #1 album this year! I don't see any of the other contenders getting it...

 

I hope he does. I bought it and am enjoying it.

Does it start with Hi Im Michael Buble and i wanna wish you a happy christmas..... :P
