A nice profitable christmas. You could say the music industry’s lost control, or you could say Sony BMG planned it perfectly seeing as it’s the parent company for all three versions of the song.

The downside - it's taken the X-factor winner (or should that be S. Cowell) to choose this song before this has happened. And who doesn't want to hear the Pogues at Christmas for the umpteenth time? Here's hoping Just Like Christmas by Low can enter the charts too. It's my favourite Christmas song.
