Well, no surprise here then. Band Aid 20 topped yesterday's singles chart, in doing so getting that strangely prestigious title of 'Christmas number one'. The charity record has now shifted more than 600,000 units in three weeks, and in the last week outsold its nearest rivals - Kylie and Ronan Keating - by five to one. The continuing success of the charity song repeat is fuelling speculation that plans are afoot for a second Live Aid. Geldof apparently told reporters he was "open to being persuaded" into organising Live Aid 2, but needed to be convinced it wouldn't just be a copy of the original.
