I class most X Factor winners singles as Christmas songs.

 

Hallelujah by Alexandra Burke is absolutely beautiful and I’m glad it is charting (although quite low down)

 

I’m surprised by how unfestive the iTunes top 10 is

 

Well lots of people will have already bought Christmas songs on iTunes in the years gone by
