December 22, 201312 yr Now that 2003 chart is what a Christmas race should be - something completely out of the blue, two modern Christmas classics (Bo Selecta's definitely the better of recent novelty songs) and reality show's WELL out of it! Such a shame ten years on, this is looking like the least interesting Christmas chart in years :(

December 22, 201312 yr I hate that they do the chart update at the beginning, seems a bit pointless?!
December 22, 201312 yr Amazing that the 2003 battle was about 5,000 copies difference, and then the 2008 battle is about 500,000 :lol:
December 22, 201312 yr Amazing that the 2003 battle was about 5,000 copies difference, and then the 2008 battle is about 500,000 :lol: I think every year has been quite close bar that one!! I don't think hallelujah is the best song ever though tbh.
December 22, 201312 yr Ooh definitely a welcome re-entry :wub: Definitely one of my absolute favourites of the year! I actually think Jameela is right with the theory of why it has re-entered, and I remember them playing the OneRepublic version on the chart last week or the week before to kill time! :P
December 22, 201312 yr I actually think Jameela is right with the theory of why it has re-entered, and I remember them playing the OneRepublic version on the chart last week or the week before to kill time! :P It was performed on Sports Personality of the Year apparently (and also the Royal Variety Performance). Nice to see this back in the top 40 again for whatever reason :D
December 22, 201312 yr Merry Christmas everyone! I won't be listening to the chart (I'm playing my Top 40 singles of the week instead) - but I shall be following it here. :D
