Three versions of 'Hallelujah' in the Christmas Top 40?

Alexandraburke2 The X Factor single, released by Alexandra Burke has kicked off a spat, which has seen three versions of the song 'Hallelujah' expected to make it into the Christmas top 40.

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke's cover looks a dead cert to be Christmas number one, however, Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen's original have also jumped into the Top 40.

A Facebook group was recently launched to push the Buckley rendition, from his 1994 album Grace, to the top of the charts. It is expected to land at number three, while Cohen's version is sitting at number 34.

"I don't think this has ever happened in UK charts history, and certainly not for Christmas," HMV's Gennaro Castaldo told the BBC.
