The odds on favorite for the UK Christmas single has been "the winner of X Factor." X Factor seems to be the current incarnation of Pop Idol (or American Idol) - so it is an interesting situation in that an almost unknown quantity is the front runner.
Shayne Ward was voted the winner on December 17th, and his single "That's My Goal" was released yesterday. I have not heard it, but I imagine that it sounds much like everything else that wins those shows.
Currently at number one on the charts is a sentimental favorite (and second place in the booking odds). The band Nizlopi has re-released their summertime hit "JCB" which is (as I understand it) about a boy going for a ride on his father's backhoe. I haven't heard this particular song either, but going by the songs available to listen to on their site, it's a good one. They seem to be one of those bands that are intelligent, talented, love music in all forms, and are far too clever for their own good.
