November 20, 20168 yr I am here for an original, Christmas X Factor winning song tbh. It's quite a clever move tbh, coz if it's any good, it'll be downloaded and streamed for years to come!
November 20, 20168 yr Remember that the XF only have 5 days to sell though! Only on release week, not Christmas number 1 week
November 20, 20168 yr Only on release week, not Christmas number 1 week Ooh yeah my bad. Will they release a physical this year?
November 20, 20168 yr Ooh yeah my bad. Will they release a physical this year? Of course they will. They do every year
November 20, 20168 yr Cliff Richard is trying again to reach no. 1 with It is better to dream (Christmas Mix) available on Friday.
November 21, 20168 yr I think people are being too quick to write X Factor off. Last year's winning song was dreadful and people weren't that invested in Louisa - she only won because the producers slayed all her rivals. Matt Terry with an Ed Sheeran song would be the one to beat.
November 21, 20168 yr I'd be amazed if there's an official David Bowie release. I guess somebody might start a campaign to get an old song there, but very little chance of it succeeding. Same goes for Leonard Cohen.
November 21, 20168 yr There is a campaign to get '2 Become 1' to Christmas No.1: https://www.facebook.com/events/289611988099517
November 21, 20168 yr Author LOL as if that'll do anything. I think people are bored with these 'let's get xxx to Christmas number one' campaigns now anyway, so it'll just be charity causes and X Factor singles in the running.
November 21, 20168 yr There is a campaign to get '2 Become 1' to Christmas No.1: https://www.facebook.com/events/289611988099517 I might support this one. The girls have had such a hard time of it. :rolleyes:
November 21, 20168 yr I wouldn't mind James Corden getting it. It's an original Christmas song; when's the last time an original Christmas track was Christmas #1? It's for charity, too.
November 21, 20168 yr I'd much rather James Corden than the usual X Factor / charity. Let's have something different for once!
November 21, 20168 yr James Corden will be fine as something different. An original Christmas song is much better than one of those horrendous choir or ensemble charity singles that butchers a pop song and isn't even christmassy. I just don't get those, nobody wants the actual song so why not just give money to the charity if you want to support the cause? :lol: I also don't get the hate for Corden although I do have a weird crush on him so maybe that's why :P I won't mind XF getting it if it's original, that's something different if it has to be them or a charity choir. As long as it's not bloody 5am :puke:
November 21, 20168 yr I don't think the X Factor winner will be Christmas no 1. It may well be no 1 on iTunes, but streaming will slow it down hugely. I think it will probably be Black Beetle.
November 21, 20168 yr Will Stormzy really release a song to challenge?! Would have to be a new one if so...
November 21, 20168 yr To be honest Stormzy only tried last year to stop Louisa Johnson from getting it. That's why he celebrated being ahead of her as if he actually got the Christmas number one.
November 21, 20168 yr I thought Ed Sheeran was writing an original xmas track for the X Factor winners track :unsure: And its only got 4 days of sales for the week, plus a couple of hours, the final results are on a Sunday.
