Three 'Hallelujah's to make Xmas chart?

Three versions of the song 'Hallelujah' are expected to make it into the Christmas top 40.

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke's cover, which will likely take the number one spot, has sparked interest in the track, with a version by Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen's original also destined for Christmas chart places.

A Facebook group was recently launched to push the Buckley rendition, from his 1994 album Grace, to the top of the charts. It is expected to land at number three, while Cohen's version is sitting at number 34.

"I don't think this has ever happened in UK charts history, and certainly not for Christmas," HMV's Gennaro Castaldo told the BBC.

In 1955 four versions of 'Unchained Melody' - by Al Hibbler, The Les Baxter Orchestra, Jimmy Young and Liberace - all entered the UK top 40.
