A spokesman for HMV says: "This is potentially one of the most open races for the Christmas No.1 in years. There's a very strong chance it will be the 'X-Factor' winner, but a lot depends on who actually wins it and, with the single being released midweek, whether it can make up for two days missing sales by the time the chart is announced on Christmas Day."

iTunes to decide UK Xmas number one
By Jonny Evans

Digital downloads seem set to decide what the UK's number one Christmas single will be this year.

Record label trade association the BPI expects that surging demand for digital music players and a huge hike in download sales will decide the winner.

The news emerges as The Pogues re-release the classic Christmas song, "Fairytale of New York" in all formats, and, as reported yesterday, make a special version of the song available exclusively through iTunes. The original version of the track clearly remains a popular choice; it's at number three in the iTunes chart this morning.

I downloaded it. Have I now joined the 21st Century? Say it ain't so. :shock:

Sounds pretty good, even if it is rather missing Jem's banjo (he was otherwise engaged at the Science Museum).

Yay you!

Sadly those of us outside of the UK are unable to purchase/download this track. Please, please have a word with Warner about making it more widely available.
