The very worthy 'Tiny Dancer – A Song For Lily-Mae' is the runner-up.
Well, the weekly charts have just been unveiled and the Christmas No. 1 single has been confirmed for another year. And, for yet another year, it is Simon Cowell's X Factor that reigns supreme.
James Arthur's winner's song 'Impossible' – a cover of the 2010 Shontelle song – retains pole position for the second week.
At No. 2, also for the second week, is charity single 'Tiny Dancer', which sees Irish artists such as Paddy Casey, Declan O'Rourke and Mary Black come together to cover the Elton John classic to raise much needed funds for Lily-Mae Morrison, a four year-old suffering from Stage 3 Neuroblastoma.
Lumineers' 'Ho Hey' is still riding high after two months in the chart. The rustic singalong is at No. 3.
