Lewis Capaldi's cheeky pop at Michael Bublé as stars battle for Christmas number one

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Lewis Capaldi has taken aim at Michael Bublé as he claims Christmas hits are keeping his latest single off the top of the charts.

The Scots singer joked he's "looking for" the Canadian crooner because he's got a bone to pick with him for preventing him from bagging another number one with new single, Pointless.Pointless is currently number one on the Big Top 40, which takes into account radio airplay, but only number 20 on the Official Singles Chart, behind Bublé at number 10 and Mariah Carey at number one.

Lewis, who co-wrote the tune with pal Ed Sheeran, admitted to fans he now believes December isn't the best time to release a song which is unrelated to the festive period.

And the Bruises singer, who was announced this week as a headliner for Reading & Leeds 2023, has had a tongue-in-cheek pop at the king of Christmas himself in the process.
