Christmas UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e December 29th 2012

Going straight in at No.1 is the song for the Hillsborough campaign, The Justice Collective with a cover of He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. I’m not a fan of charity songs, though. They all feel very “80s” and I do feel that this is one song I’ve heard way too many times.

You can hear the song here:

As such, X-Factor winner James Arthur drops to No.2 with Impossible, a song I haven’t heard and never will, hopefully.
