Still 8 to go...

With Eric Prydz hanging on for yet another week today (making 5 weeks in total; the most since Blackeyed Peas a year ago), we are faced with an intriguing possibility. It's exactly 8 weeks today that we'll get to find out the Christmas number one. If we get a new number one every week for the next eight weeks, the Christmas chart-topper (or Band Aid III as I think we can safely call it) will also be the 1,000th number one. Wouldn't that be something? I doubt if it'll happen though - we're probably looking at late January or early February before the 1,000th arrives.

In the meantime, some future battles for the top spot:
This week: Daniel Bedingfield v. The Noise Next Door
November: The Battle of the Mickey Mouse Club cover versions: Britney's 'My Prerogative' v. Christina & Missy's 'Car Wash'.
19 December: Band Aid III v. Ronan & Yusuf's 'Father And Son' v. Joss Stone & Mick Jagger. All bets are off.
