I like the idea of doing a tweet. One idea below, not sure if it's best to say raising money for The NHS (who we can ping) or just charity.
In the footsteps of @QueenWillRock and @thebeatles @Choir_NHS runs away with the UK Christmas Number 1 this time raising money for charity!

By the way, Merry Christmas, Joe. (:

I'd rather use one of the facts conveniently located in the "Records" section of that list.

This is something of a tradition in the UK and often leads to high music sales and some pretty funky number ones.
This year, a choir from a hospital in London took the accolade with a mashup called "A Bridge over You". The list of these singles is a featured list (one that I worked on myself back in 2008 in fact) so maybe we could post about it if someone is online?
