Tuesday 15 December 2009 at 11:37
 Joe McElderry is the hot favourite to land the Christmas Number One Single according to the latest Betting Odds. The X Factor winner has been the favourite all year round and it seems not even a Facebook campaign to stop Simon Cowell will stop Joe McElderry.
Joe McElderry Will Carry On Simon Cowell Christmas Hit Tradition
Betfred are offering odds of 1/8 that Joe McElderry, who won the X Factor on Sunday night, will have the number one single this Sunday, meaning the youngster has his first Christmas Number One. It had been thought Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing In The Name’ could upset the odds after a Facebook group started a campaign to stop Simon Cowell dominating the Christmas charts and Rage Agaisnt The Machine are second favourite’s to have the Christmas Number One, they can be backed at 5/1 with Betfred.
The Pogues Fancied To Emerge Best From Previous Christmas Releases
Paddy Power are betting on the highest placed previously released song over Christmas and they have The Pogues as favourites at just 1/2. Mariah Carey is 6/4 with Paddy Power to do best with ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ but the best bet could of course be the brilliant ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham at 14/1 with Paddy Power. George Michael is just releasing his Greatest Hits and that should lead to more publicity and interest in the song than usual.
