I read Chico is banned from having a song out at xmas….how true it is i dont know. I think it will be the winner of X factor for sure always is and i think it will be whoever wins last number one, as their sell by date get shorter on these programmes :roll:

Correct – he isn’t allowed to release a single until after the X factor winner.

Mind you – last years winner (Steve) wasnt number 1 until Jan 8th…but i cant see them olding it back this year.

Speaking of Chico…has anyone seen the stripper pics of him in this weeks ‘Heat’?? :shock:

when you appear on a reality tv show a music one anyway, you are automatically signed to the show and they dont permit you to release any songs for a certain amount of time, so chico will have to wait, and renew his visa

as for last years winner steve brookstein didnt reach xmas number one because of band aid,

oh and squeezy? on your list you say there hasnt been a xmas song at number one for years? yet you highlighted 2 previous band aid singles but not last years one? :D
