THE X Factor winner Ben Haenow has won the battle for this year's Christmas number one.
The 29-year-old's single Something I Need had combined chart sales of over 214,000 and is now the second-fastest selling single of the year, behind Band Aid 30's Do They Know It's Christmas?, which shifted nearly 313,000 copies in its first week back in November.
But Band Aid 30's revamped charity hit, once considered a strong bet for the Christmas number one, is down at number 17 in the Official Singles Chart.
