The bookies haven’t started taking bets yet but here’s my top tips for this years Christmas Number 1…
Ian Reddington – Most people won’t have a clue who he is until I say Vernon Tomlin from Coronation Street. Ian will be singing a song written by one of the soaps script writers with music composed by Scouting for Girls’ singer Roy Stride. Ian sings the song ‘(Don’t Fall Into) The Mason’s Arms’ to try and persuade his wife Liz McDonald to get back with him in the show.
The Wombats – The band made famous by their hit ‘Let’s dance to Joy Division’ are hoping to raise money for MENCAP this Christmas by releasing a song apparently with, believe it or not, Les Dennis! More news to follow but check out the video for ‘Let’s dance to Joy Division’ in the meantime.
X-Factor – It’s inevitable that whoever wins X-Factor will be the favourite for Xmas number one although I’d really hate to see this happen again. The current favourites this year are:
Rachel Hylton
Laura White
Alexandra Burke
That’s not to say I don’t like X-Factor, how can you not think TV like Ant & Seb is brilliant? Come on move ya body…
