Whitney Houston is home on a Friday night. She's sitting not too far from an antique slot machine, and near it, there's a framed photo of her and Brown looking very '80s—Bobby with tracks.

After a head to head not seen since Blur v Oasis, Rage Against the Machine have fought off X Factor winner Joe McElderry for the Christmas number one slot. It's a position long relinquished by Cliff Richard in favour of a succession of reality TV show winners as the X Factor came to dominate every Yuletide chart.

An estimated 5 million listeners tuned in to the top 40 last weekend as the battle for the Christmas number one breathed new life into the Sunday afternoon chart rundown.

The internet-led battle has given columnists such as Charlie Brooker something to talk about, but how does it fit into the pantheon of Christmas hits?

We wanted to know who's been number one at Christmas since the charts began. Here, courtesy of the Official Charts company, is the list - complete with number of weeks each record spent in the UK top 100.

Punters saw the entertainer feeding two of the 50p-a-time slot machines at a time, reports The Sun exclusively. Pals told how he regularly spent £10,000 (A$18,500) in marathon slot machine binges.
