As Christmas approaches, are you dreading who might be the Christmas no.1?
Last year, Rage Against The Machine managed to stop X-Factor’s Joe McElderry getting to no.1, and we had the delightful reality of an angry song with no less than 17 expletives getting to No.1. Is this childish? Well, if you think that the word ‘fu
ck’ is more offensive than the music industry being held to ransom by Simon Cowell, than that’s a matter for your conscience.
It might, on the other hand, be Coldplay who are due to return with their f
ifth album next year, and that’s
a much more attractive proposition, IMHO opinion. The Christmas song has h
ad a revival in recent years (the Killers have done no less than 3) and this is another fine addition to the canon.
Coldplay -‘Christmas Lights.’
Go and buy it if you like it!
BONUS: this is a cover that Coldplay did of the Pretenders’ hardy Christmas perennial ‘2000 Miles.’
