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.

Come on Peter Kay. Am I the only one who hates all this X-Factor stuff!

Wait a minute, I'm sure the backing music in Leon's song is a direct rip off of some old song (which I can't quite remember now)...I've heard the same track used in a few hiphop songs as a sample - simon cowell the faker strikes again lol. If you think you're buying a new song, better think again, you might just be buying a song mum n dad already have somewhere in the attic lol. Happy Christmas everyone.

Peter Kay by far is the best. Hope he gets the No.1 slot. Glad he's back. I've really missed Peter not being around.

Neither records are worthy of air play.

One is a cheap crap novelty record and the other is conveyor belt driven rubbish. The Day the music died is the day that other of these recordings are confused with being music.

How undemanding and easy to please people are becoming is quite disturbing.

You are worthy of better and should demand better.

i was going to go for Peter Kay but I wont. Leon is much better even if performens is not good

34. Jade -
It would be such a shame if Peter Kay went number one over Leon Jackson. I think it's lovely song and I think he deserves it - I always wanted him to win over Rhydian last year.

35. Yahoo! Music User -
Both songs are woefully appalling

What is x factor

37. Yahoo! Music User -
The both songs are good, but I think Leon's song is much better and will do well in the market.

38. elena -
