But Shakin Stevens?

Or maybe another band like The Darkness should come up with a christmasy song?

I don't think "Don't let the bells end" actually made it to number 1?

I do like The X Factor.. but I just miss a good old traditional Christmas song reaching number 1

Well suppose I don't mind if the silent song goes to number 1. Will be funny and different.

Yet another "controversial" blow for the X Factor.

Robbie Williams has had a string of number 2 singles and you don't hear him complaining. X Factor having a number 2 christmas single is still good.
