Christmas Number One

While most would agree that music charts don't mean too much in the download era, it hasn't tempered the hype that surrounds the grand British tradition of the Christmas Number One. Every year, a series of disposable pop songs are released the week before the 25th to determine who gets the crown. For the last several years it has always been the winner of that oh-so awful "talent" show The X Factor. However, the dark horse this year is Falkirk's own Malcolm Middleton with possibly the best Christmas single ever (other than Wham's Last Christmas of course). I've already bought my copy - fingers crossed!



On a related note, does anybody else think that the lyrics to Do They Know It's Christmas are incredibly condescending? Just asking.
