They are all dreadful!

 

My Xmas number ones, for comparison:

 

Christmas #1 for 2010: Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith “Not In Love” (UK chart peak: #54)

Christmas #1 for 2011: Charli XCX “Nuclear Seasons”

Christmas #1 for 2012: Foals “Inhaler” (UK chart peak: #90)

Christmas #1 for 2013: Arcade Fire “Afterlife”

Christmas #1 for 2014: Lost Under Heaven “Unites”

Christmas #1 for 2015: Grimes “Flesh Without Blood”

Christmas #1 for 2016: The xx “On Hold” (UK chart peak: #34)

Christmas #1 for 2017: Young Fathers “Lord”

Rockabye is really the only good one

I only like 3 of them ('Perfect' is the best despite the overplay and not being one of Ed's best songs (helped by the Andrea Bocelli version which I like more than the original), then my 2nd fave is Matt Cardle which was a pretty solid cover of a great song, and 'Rockabye' third, find that a little overrated among their discog but still quite good). The rest I'm quite happy to never hear again. Hard to rank them but LadBaby is the worst.

My fav is Perfect, worst is Sam Bailey Skyscrapper!

Shows how little i've tracked the charts and the X-mas number one....i have no idea who the Justice Collective or LadyBaby

Best would be Rockabye by a.long way, worst the Sausage Roll guy.

The Ben Haenow song is actually very good.

 

That being said, Clean Bandit is my favourite by a mile!

Rockabye is the best one (and I don't even like it THAT much).

1. Clean Bandit (eaaaaasily :wub: :wub:)

2. Ed Sheeran (actually quite like this, always have, although he's done better)

3. Matt Cardle (not bad)

4. Sam Bailey (not a patch on Demi but listenable)

5. Ben Haenow (decent)

6. Justice Collective (the better of the charity choirs etc)

7. NHS Choir (inoffensive but uninteresting)

8. Military Wives (not for me)

9. LadBaby (:puke:)

1. Matt Cardle

2. Military Wives

3. NHS Choir

4. LadBaby

5. Ben Haenow

6. Ed Sheeran

7. Clean Bandit

8. Justice Collective

9. Sam Bailey

 

I never cared for 'Rockabye' for whatever reason but it's fine, only the bottom two I'm truly not a fan of.

The worst is definitely those dull choir tracks.

 

I voted Something I Need as my favourite. I love Ben Haenow and he does the song justice.

 

 

1. Ben Haenow

2. Clean Bandit

3. Matt Cardle

4. Sam Bailey

5. Ed Sheeran

6. Justice Collective

7. LadBaby

8. Military Wives

9. NHS Choir

I think Rockabye is probably the best but in terms of X Factor winners singles, I thought Something I Need was great, so they’re a clear top 2

 

Voted Justice Collective for worst but there’s hardly anything between that, the NHS Choir and Military Wives

I am amazed at Matt Cardle being a clear 2nd place in this poll! It is far better than all the other XF and/or charity tracks but still shocked that more than twice as many people have picked that than the one other 'normal' song besides Clean Bandit :lol: poor brave Ed.

1. We Built This City

2. A Bridge Over You

3. Wherever You Are

4. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

5. When We Collide

6. Something I Need

7. Skyscraper

8. Rockabye (it is better than some of the songs above it but a song shouldn't coast to the Christmas #1 in its seventh week there with absolutely no fight whatsoever)

9. Perfect

My ranking would be as follows:

 

1) Ed Sheeran Perfect

2) Clean Bandit Rockabye

3) Matt Cardle When We Collide

4) Military Wives Wherever You Are

5) Ladbaby We Built This City

6) NHS Choir A Bridge Over You

7) Ben Haenow Somethibg I Need

8) Justice Collective He Ain't Heavy

9) Sam Bailey Skyscrapper

Well, it's kinda Clean Bandit by default as the rest of them are horse shit.

Even Pete not voting for the NHS Choir tho.

I am amazed at Matt Cardle being a clear 2nd place in this poll! It is far better than all the other XF and/or charity tracks but still shocked that more than twice as many people have picked that than the one other 'normal' song besides Clean Bandit :lol: poor brave Ed.

lol what did you expect? Ever since Thinking Out Loud happened Buzzjack has had a vendetta against Ed Sheeran.

All of them i don't really like :(

 

Voted for Skyscraper as worst, I found it rather boring and it goes on for too long. I definitely prefer Demi's original.

 

Clean Bandit's Rockabye I voted as the best, but I don't even like that song much.
