Leon Jackson vs Peter Kay

Posted Fri 17 Oct 2008 2:10PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
The gloves are off in an epic chart battle which sees X Factor winner Leon Jackson going head to head with comedian Peter Kay in the race to the top of the singles chart. Leon's single Don't Call This Love is up against Peter Kay's X-Factor send-up, The Winner's Song, written by Gary Barlow.

According to reports, this week's running is extremely tight, with pop superstar Pink also in the frame to retain her current no.1 ‘Who Knew'. It is thought that there are only a few hundred sales separating the three acts.

Leon told the Daily Star: "My single has gone up to No 2 in the midweek charts. I'm so proud. If it stays in that position come Sunday I'll crack open the Irn-Bru and do a little dance around the living room."

Peter Kay and Gary Barlow are also set to release a Chrismas single, Once Upon A Christmas Song, going head to head with the X-Factor once again.

Who do you think should win the chart battle? Watch the videos below and have your say.

Normally I would say Peter Kay - no question. But to be honest I don't think this is very funny at all. And although I'd never touch an X-Factor act with a barge pole, Leon's single is actually ok.

2. HEATHER -

3. Yahoo! Music User -

When isn't it a Joke? lol!!

15. Yahoo! Music User -
leon is WAY better that peter kay thing was rubbish it isnt even funny

16. Michelle -
Peter Kay's song even sounds like a X-Factor's winning song. Gary Barlow got it just right. All they need to do now for the Xmas No. 1, is to liven the song they choose up a little bit.

17. Beth -
Peter Kay!
I luved Britain's got the pop factor...lol =P

18. Beth -
also..it's 'so what' not 'who knew' by pink!

19. Alan -
I have to say I prefer the Peter Kay song. Forget that fact it's Peter Kay - the same way as millions will forget that it's Leon Jackosn and think it's Michael Buble - they're far too similar

20. Angela -
there both good but im going for leon like
