Remember that post we wrote last week about the kooky race between two dueling covers of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for England's Christmas No. 1? Well, the version by X Factor winner Alexandra Burke ended up trumping Jeff Buckley's cover when the latest charts were released on Sunday, marking the first time in history that two versions of the same song occupied the top two spots. After all, nothing screams "Christmas!" like a salute to orgasms! [Reuters]
