December 21, 200816 yr Author This is the Radio Newtown Christmas Top Twenty, and before we get into the top five, let's have a look at some of the text messages we've received about who you want to be Christmas number one... I fink Basshunter shud b Xmas Number one wiv Jingle Bells cos he is a genious but if not him den Take That coz they iz well fit for old guys. That's from 'Samanfa' in Newtown, thanks for that... Wombats should be number one cos their - that's t-h-e-i-r- sound la Thanks Kevin from Liverpool, listening online, but you don't seem to have finished your text.. 'their sound la'?? 'Their sound la' what??? 'Their sound lasts and lasts'? 'Their sound lavishly envelopes one in aural luxury'? 'Their sound lacks only one thing - a kazoo'? Please check your texts before you send them. And this one says Gabriella Cilmi should be number one cos I'm gonna keep my new boyfriend warm this winter! That's from Keeley, rather too much information, Keeley, and I hate to disappoint you but Gabriella Cilmi isn't number one... she's down three places to number five... rSckgBLs3qM
December 21, 200816 yr Author It's the live Christmas chart here on Radio Newtown, more of your texts, please keep sending them in... Helene Fischer should be number one because we heard it at our local German Christmas Market and it sounded all nice and cosy. That's from Jessica in the car on the M25. She actually sent that last week, but I'm guessing she's still there. And here's one from Doris at home, she says 'I'd like that nice young man Johnny Mathis to be number one, he's such a pleasant boy and my granddaughter is teaching me how to use this portable phone she bought me last Christmas'. Thanks Doris, but bad news for you... Johnny Mathis hasn't got to number one, but he's up two places, 'When A Child Is Born' is number four... RGMky4tVN7c Edited December 21, 200816 yr by Kit Curran
December 21, 200816 yr Author What a great video there from Johnny, I particularly like the way he keeps changing his position on the chair between lines, without even missing a note of the song!! :lol: So, three records left, who is gonna be number one for Christmas? You've been e-mailing and texting, so many people want different songs to be number one, is it gonna be Helene Fischer, or The Wombats, or can Take That hold on for a fifth week... well... at number three... it's up two places, The Wombats, 'Is This Christmas?'

December 21, 200816 yr Author Terrible Christmas jumpers from the Wombats, hey Fran my superfluous yet gorgeous female co-host, you'd better not have got me any old tat like that for Christmas, it'd go straight in the bin!!! Fran? Fran?? Oh no Fran, please stop crying.... Look, like everyone else out there, you want to know what's number one... Now there's two songs left, who is going to be Christmas number one... is it going to be Helene Fischer with 'Heilige Nacht'? Or is it Take That with 'Greatest Day'? Take That? or Helene Fischer? Well I can tell you... that the song at number two... is... last week's highest new entry, Helene Fischer is up one place and Take That are number one! (Fran whoops hysterically) 9ZJsj7qX4V0
December 21, 200816 yr Author SO That's it, the official Radio Newtown Christmas Number One for 2008 is 'Greatest Day' by Take That, and I have an exclusive here on the Radio Newtown Top 20, I've managed to get hold of the private number of Take That's main man, the very fulcrum of the band, the guy who makes it all tick... yep, on the line, we can welcome HOWARD DONALD! Hi Howard, how are ya?! 'Hi, this is Howard. I can't get to the phone right now.
