Coldplay Set For 'Top Of The Pops' Christmas Special

busybeeburns · 17-12-2008, 02:22 PM

Coldplay, Duffy and the Kaiser Chiefs will all perform on the Top of the Pops Christmas special, it's been announced.

The winner of this year's X Factor Alexandra Burke, Girls Aloud and Dizzee Rascal will also appear on the show on Christmas Day. As previously reported on Gigwise, the BBC cancelled the Christmas show earlier this year because of falling viewing figures. But the corporation later reinstated it, along with a New Years special.

Burke will perform her cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' on Top of the Pops. The singer will be crowned the UK's Christmas number one this weekend following her huge exposure on the talent contest.

Brilliant. What date is it on?

I reckon they should bring back TOTP, but only do it once a month in future.
They could also make it a rule that any song could only feature on there once, irrespective of its chart position.
That way it would always be "fresh".

As it was a "biggest songs of year" show, they only do one song each.
