dixie	So it looks like HALLELUJAH will be No. 1 and No. 2 this Sunday. So when was the last time the same song was at No. 1 and No. 2 in the charts? ANSWER: In July 1955, when, for two weeks, UNCHAINED MELODY was No. 1 by JIMMY YOUNG and No. 2 by AL HIBBLER. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
JK2006	I have a sneaking feeling there may be more than two versions of Hallelujah in the Xmas top ten.

itsmyparty	even that would have been a huge stretch given Leona's sales of Run last week. Buckley really needed the X-Factor final for sales to get the oomph needed and he wouldn't have got that last week. As far as I was aware the campaign first started (in the "mainstream") on Digital Spy's Music forum on November 24th.
MC MC	Actually, when you consider that the James Morrison record was given a useful plug when he performed it on the Girls Aloud special which came on between the two halves of Saturday's final then the top six could be said to be X Factor-related. Any sign of the Jeff B and/or Leonard C back catalogue appearing in the album list? It really would be a boon if the song encouraged listeners to go back and check out more of their work.
