Lol Simon is not only making money from Alexandra's version of Hallelujah because his company also owns the rights to Jeff Buckley's version and the original by songwriter Leonard Cohen.
Alexandra today claimed the Christmas no1 spot with her version despite a large number of people downloading Jeff Buckley's version in the hope of stealing the Christmas number one spot however Jeff's version has managed to secure the no2 on downloads only.
This is the first time in apparently 51 years that the same song has been at number one and two on the official chart and its the first time ever this has happened at Christmas.
