Although it originally started in 1977 as the British Record Industry Britannia Centenary Awards and came from the Wembley Conference Centre it will mark the shows 30th outing due to a couple of years without the event.
Over the years there have been some memorable events such as the terrible presenting by Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood in 1989 and Jarvis Cocker mooning during a performance by Michael Jackson in 1996, will there be any surprises to come in this years ceremony?

X Factor winner Joe McElderry career betting odds
December 21, 2009
Poor X Factor winner Joe McElderry lost out in the battle for the Christmas number one to Rage Against the Machines infamous “Killing in the Name” song due to a campaign that was engineered on the social networking site Facebook. Joe lost out by around 50,000 sales, with Rage clocking in at an incredible 500,000 downloads, making it the most downloaded song in the UK ever and the first ever download only number one single. Following this upset to the X-Factor apple cart the bookies Paddy Power believe that this event could have put a scupper on the career of poor Joe.
Joe McElderry Success Specials
- 1/8 – Simon Cowell to drop Joe from his record label before 2013
- 7/4 – Simon Cowell to drop Joe from his record label before during 2011
- 9/4 - Joe’s debut album to be the biggest selling Album of 2010 in the UK
- 12/1 -Joe to have the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK and Ireland
However it is believed that next week Joe’s fans will be out in force next week and he will get his number one single after all. How long this lasts for and how many more songs he will get to the top spot remain to be seen as winning the X – Factor never guarantees long term success.
Odds on how many number 1’s Joe have in 2010?

Feel the Rage as battle for the Christmas number one heats up
December 17, 2009
Earlier on in the month we had thought that the battle for the Christmas number one single would be a sure fire thing, like it has been for the last few years, the X-Factor show finishes and the sheep all go and buy the single (no matter how lame, talking to you Leon Jackson) and the song becomes the festive hit single.
However the likes of Simon Cowell did not realise how powerful the social networking site Facebook can be in rallying up support for a cause. A couple of disgruntled music lovers were fed up of the same old same and thought of the excellent idea of getting Rage Against The Machines 1993 anthem “Killing in the Name of” as the alternative Christmas number one, they started a group on Facebook and within a short time had several thousand members and at the time of writing this has hit over 800,000 members. They then asked all the members to download via iTunes or other digital music outlets.

The Rage against the X factor has been overwhelming up to Thursday the song has outsold the winner of the X Factor by over 37,000 units, music industry sources believe that this will decrease now that the Joe McEldery single is available for physical purchase and will be lapped up by Grannies and Aunts, but the bookies are rapidly slashing their odds, get in while you can!
