Paul McCartney Releasing Christmas Single to Compete with X Factor Winner’s Song

Paul McCartney is releasing a Christmas single to challenge the annual X Factor winner’s song for the number one spot.

McCartney will be releasing a single alongside a batch of other famous faces for actor Samuel L. Jackson’s cancer charity One For The Boys. The single will be a cover of Great Big World and Christina Aguilera saccharine hit ‘Say Something’, which you can listen to below:

McCartney will be joined by Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams, model Daisy Lowe on the single. The recording of the track was hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw.

The winner of Simon Cowell’s karaoke behemoth X Factor traditionally takes the number one spot at Christmas time, but the star-studded charity single will hope to overthrow the reality contest this year.
