It's not the same in Britain however, where possession of the top spot on Christmas is a more venerated thing. The spot is one traditionally dominated by the winner of that year's season of the UK X Factor series. However, those tired of the populist pap have fired up a social media campaign to encourage listeners to buy a different single in the week leading up to Christmas: AC/DC's "Highway To Hell."

It's tough for rappers to make a rap sound different, hence all the remixes on the market featuring new verses from performers not featured on the original. The good news is that rappers have arresting enough personalities that, if they want, they can cover anything else and fans won't complain.
