Actually the song that won is an anti corporate protest song..It may not be Christmasy but I'd like to point out that very many of Christmas number ones of the past 50 years have not been anything to do with Christmas.
Everyone of the 5 Christmas hits the Beatles achieved had no reference to any Christmas elements what so ever and they are all classic rock songs.
Now it's not cost effective to go and buy a number 1 record.Vinyl has gone and not many want a CD for one single.Downloading one MP3 that you can replay on your PC or MP3 player is where technology has taken us.Cannot see anything wrong with that myself.
