Friends of Jo Cox the favourites for 2016 Christmas Number 1

Friends of Jo Cox are the 5/4 favourites to land this year’s Christmas Number 1 spot according to the latest odds.

Their cover of the Rolling Stones hit You Can’t Always Get What You Want features a number of politicians alongside musicians Ricky Wilson, David Gray, KT Tunstall and Cockney Rebel’s Steve Harley.

The charity single is expected to be released a week before the official Christmas number 1 is announced.

Meanwhile, Cruz Beckham is a 10/1 shot having come in from 16/1. The son of former pop star Victoria is making his musical debut with If Every Day was Christmas.

Other noteworthy contenders include rising star Rag N Bone Man at 14/1 while the late David Bowie is 20/1 to receive the festival accolade posthumously.
