Wow, I mean, it's just a song that's number one on a certain week? There'll still be Christmas songs out there, it's not like XF is abolishing all Christmas songs from the charts.

And there's hardly any NEW Christmas songs released these days. It's just the old classics re-entering the charts each year. They may have had a number one, now let someone else get the chance.

Exactly.
I don't get the fuss about that weeks number 1. I would rather have the X Factor winner than an Xmas song because you can't really listen to the Xmas number 1 in January if it was an Xmas song.
and the X Factor winner song is just giving people more choice rather than the same old songs every year.
The number 1 spot goes to the song which is most popular that week, obviously the X Factor song is more popular than other Xmas songs so it does deserve to chart better than them
