An Irish Xmas No.1 needs only a fraction of the amount of sales a UK one does, so the RubberBandits could just pull off the biggest steal of their lives!” Meanwhile, the soon to be X Factor winner is just 4/7 to top the UK charts this Christmas.Christmas Singles Charts – Ire & UKIrish Christmas No.1 single 4/6 X Factor 2010 winner 5/4 The Rubberbandits 6/1 Shane MacGowan and The Priests 8/1 The Trashmen10/1 Take That12/1 Westlife16/1 Jedward20/1 John Cage25/1 Mariah Carey25/1 Cheryl Cole25/1 Shakira ft.
