Ashley Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Lets face it. Christmas songs are shit because they're positive (except Fairytale). Nobody wants to be positive at Christmas. Christmas is all about shitty family obligations that you hate...yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Name a good one!! Bing Crosby- White Christmas.

Fairytale of New York- The Pogues. Done. This! How didn't anyone think of this in the first place. This would be a perfect Christmas Number 1 of 2010.

McPhee Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 The Pogues sounds good to me! I'd buy for sure! Brilliant song, brilliant band and it actually fits in with Christmas. Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? Seriously? People actually like that piece of crap? Don't get me wrong here, the money it raised for charity was a good thing. However it's a patronising piece of crap that really deserves to be archived and forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah they have but I thought similar campaigns had been done before (just not at xmas) to see what they could do really. Guessing none of them got to number one. My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself, it's the one time of the year that My family is gathered in the same place and seem oblivious to the main reasons we never talk the rest of the year. The sole aim to eat as much food as possible before normality kicks back in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm sappy, but I just can't help loving charity songs and the like. I know it's patronising, but hey, it's still better than not helping at all, is it not? Spreading the love and all that.

Ramar Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well fucking chuffed! I managed to have my dinner break from half six to seven, so I managed to tune into the announcement. It's not necessarily about the song, but (to almost steal another track name) taking the power back. This year we had a truly exciting Christmas chart battle like the good old days. Tv said earlier this is the biggest battle since South Park's Chef took on the Spice Girls, top stuff. Proud of the interwebs, and anyone here who purchased. Btw, favourite rage song is Township Rebellion. It's far from their strongest, but I can't help but love the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Louie Walsh: YOU always have novelty records at No1 for Christmas and Killing In The Name is nothing but that. Joe has nothing to worry about at all. With all the fuss about Rage Against The Machine, people might fail to realise that Joe has still sold 450,000 records, which is phenomenal" He will sell a million singles. I think The Climb will be one of the biggest-selling singles of next year. Besides, it's all about having a career - look at the albums chart. ALEXANDRA BURKE, JLS and LEONA LEWIS have all come from X Factor and sold millions. Joe will go on to sell a lot more albums than Rage ever have done. He's going to have a huge career. Missing out on No1 this week will not make a difference to his life. Rage Against The Machine couldn't fill Wembley now. I think Joe will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I love how that person thinks that Joe's carreer is going to be more successful than RATM's. If he is as successful as the X Factor winners in Denmark, he'll be forgotten in no time. Still, I don't know how popular Britain's winners become ... but it can't be much, can it?

Ramar Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I dunno if it's been posted but fair play to Joe, he actually talked some sense when he got on the radio. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8423789.stm Gracious in defeat, the lad will probably get next weeks number 1.
