The story has been changing all day, but it seems that X Factor winner Joe McElderry is once again the bookies favourite to scoop the Christmas number one single this Sunday.

Ladbrokes have put Joe’s debut single ‘The Climb’ in the front running at 2/7. Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing In The Name’ is trailing behind at 9/4.

RATM’s ‘Killing In The Name Of’ is still outselling McElderry’s ‘The Climb’ but bookies are expecting that to change as shoppers hit the music stores this Saturday.
