Leona Lewis matches the 6 week run at the top of Mary Hopkins' "Those Were the Days" from the late 60's to tie for the longest a British solo female has ever spent at #1 on the UK pop singles chart. Christmas music begins to flood into the chart with Mariah Carey's evergreen "All I Want for Christmas Is You" sliding into the top 25 while adult contemporary pioneer Andy Williams enters at #43 with "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

It's a battle of X Factor champions at the top of the albums chart this week and last year's winner Leona Lewis holds off the debut of the second album by 2005 winner Shayne Ward. Surprisingly, Kylie Minogue's comeback album X opens at a somewhat weak #4. After signing a huge recording deal with Universal Music, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards bring their familiar bagpiping sounds onto the chart at #17.
