Once again Rihanna wins (I SWEAR this isn't rigged!) with 28 votes to 15, and to answer Karma's question as to why I put Katy B down, call it insanity! I have no idea!! But since it has been brought up, let's see how Rihanna does against Katy B! Results from last contest Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) [ 28 ] [65.12%] Tinie Tempah ft. Kelly Rowland - Invincible [ 15 ] [34.88%] So, Rihanna vs Katy B?? GET VOTING!!

So out of the 5 selected Christmas songs, Fairytale Of New York (unsurprisingly) beat off the other 4 songs, although closer than maybe expected, 16 votes to Mariah Carey in second with 13, with the others following behind, full results are as follows: Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody [ 3 ] [6.38%] Wham - Last Christmas [ 9 ] [19.15%] Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York [ 16 ] [34.04%] Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You [ 13 ] [27.66%] Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday [ 6 ] [12.77%] Hope everyone had a great Christmas, now back to the normal game, and we pick up where we left off, Rihanna holding off another challenger, how will she fare against a suggestion from a voter - Tinie Tempah?? GET VOTING!!

Very true on both counts, and if people are wondering why Band Aid was not listed as an option, it's because I took the christmas songs that charted highest this week, excluding Coldplay's new song, which hasn't really earnt anthem status yet!

Sound of the Underground, closely followed by Something Kinda OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

So Rihanna has done it AGAIN, despite a good try, Biffy Clyro failed to dislodge Only Girl by 34 votes - 27 votes HOWEVER, it's Christmas so taking a break from the regular song battle, I've listed 5 classic Christmas songs, again vote for your favourite, I'm sure there are some songs I've left out, so many anthems, so few to select from! But out of the 5 listed above, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE?? GET VOTING!!

Take That's Flood has already failed sadly, and I think although BC looked good earlier on, I think Rihanna is going to win again, I have taken in people's song suggestions as well!

The Rihanna fans are out in force, 29-23 in favour of her now! :(

it's close! 19-18 in favour of Biffy!

Ok, IT'S BACK!!! Yes, I'm back from the hols, which I might add was a prolonged experience due to the mess of the Eurostar (7 hrs to be told there were no trains URGH!) Anyway, once again Rihanna wins her battle, with a 35-17 vote win over Trashmen I'd like to clarify to one post from the previous thread, there is no set 'winner' as such, this will keep going for as long as people are interested, amusing thing is I'm not a huge Only Girl fan myself! So no, Rihanna is not rigged to win everytime. How will she do against the original version of Many of Horror?? GET VOTING!!

Rihanna continues to fend off other songs, however Katy Perry was the closest threat to date, but just missed out by 27 votes - 25! Next up, Surfin' Bird by Trashmen! Also, I'm off on holiday for a week or so, so this will be the last battle until next week, I'll leave it open for you to vote until then GET VOTING!!

VOTING CLOSED!!

Firework 1 ahead at time of looking! 20-19

Right, will make this a daily feature, there's enough people voting, next battle up around midnight UK time!

Hmm, might do this as a daily feature, didn't think I'd get so many people voting, people's thoughts??

Back in the old days (I sound so old!) But I really mean before 1990 (ish) More songs climbed the charts, if you remember before downloads were included in the chart, for about 15 years it was unusual if more than 3 songs climbed, and a song climbing to number 1 was almost unheard of! This is because there was less promotion of songs before their release, the way I see it - Debut the song on radio/TV, release it anytime between straight after to no later than the following day on downloads, the following Monday release it on physical format. It would make the chart more interesting, and see acts actually have to EARN their spots in the chart, would also increase sales figures, the endless promotion was another reason for sales decline.

Would be amusing if Simon hired Jedward to present it, not saying I'd like it, and I don't see it happening, but it would be ironic. I think one main presenter and one guest presenter every week to keep it fresh, or a well known duo so there is chemistry, but I can only think of 2 well known suitable duo's, Ant & Dec, who did CD:UK and have done SO many things already or Dick & Dom (or is it Don) who I don't think would be good because I can't STAND them! But that's just my personal opinion. I know it's a cliche considering she was on X Factor, but I think Stacy Solomon would make a good main presenter, with a different guest every week.
