Who Will Be No1?
If you’re a music fan you are bound to be at least a little bit interested in the battle for Christmas number one this year. Will it be a classic manufactured pop track or a humorous one-off made to raise money for charity like Bill Nighy’s ‘Christmas is all around’. According to William Hill bookmakers strong contenders include the X factor winners, Leona Lewis and the Sugababes.

Personally I’m not inspired by much in the charts at the moment. I’d love to see a complete random enter the competition with a ridiculous song. One such band called Reuben are aiming to get in the charts this year with a very funny track called ‘Chirstmas is Awesome’. They have obviously put some thought into this and the video is great (see below). The music might not be everyones cup of tea but you’ve got to appreciate the comedy value. I would love to see this at number one this Christmas. You can support Reuben by buying their song from iTunes for less than a pound or if you are a Facebook user you can find more independent artists to support by joining a group like this.
