Nirvana To Battle X Factor Winner For Christmas Number One

Nirvana could be on course to become this year's Christmas number one.

The band's track 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' has been given 6/1 odds to top this year's chart following a recent Facebook campaign.

Fans have now set up the group 'Nirvana for Christmas No1' on the social network site, which has gained more that 33,000 likes so far.

This year's X Factor winner's single will now face tough competition for the Christmas top spot.

Meanwhile, the re-issued version of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' went straight in at number five on the UK album chart earlier this month.

The album, originally released in 1991, has been repackaged to coincide with its 20th anniversary.
