[Mystic Mock]

Well his winners song is better than Skyscraper obviously, but Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud is the one that gets stuck in my head the most so I wanted that to be number 1.

[Crimson Dynamo]

to be honest and without sounding like an old fogey the whole xmas number 1 thing is a heap of putrid sh1t compared to what it was.

Back in the day, when the charts meant something and it was so hard to hear songs you taped the top 40 on a sunday religiously and so did all your pals, groups would do proper Christmas songs and it was such an exciting battle to see who was number 1 - it was a massive deal (as was number 1)

FForward to now and no one cares if Ben and his dreadful dirge is number one, read out by some no mark at radio 1

no one really cares
