Damien Rice's Cannonball is reportedly the favourite to be this year's X Factor winner's single.
The single from the Irish singer-songwriter's debut album O has reportedly already been recorded by remaining contestants Amelia Lily, Little Mix, Marcus Collins and Misha Bryan, The Sun reports.
A source told the newspaper: "It's one of three songs being considered for release.
"The acts are still recording the different options but Cannonball has a good shot. It would be a safe bet to sell well in the run-up to Christmas."
Cannonball reached number 19 on its initial release in 2004 and re-entered the charts at number nine in September when it was performed during the X Factor auditions.
Earlier this month, N-Dubz star Fazer claimed that he would produce the X Factor winner's single.
"We really want to give a new flavour to the X Factor acts," he said. "It's going to suit me. I have rock influences, hip-hop, pop, whatever."
Previously, it was claimed that head judge Gary Barlow would pen the winner's song - making it the first original track for the winner since Shayne Ward's That's My Goal in 2005.

IMO Cannonball is a boring song. I reckon Janet would have done well with it though, but never mind.
Yes, they should have the winner singing an original song for a change. I don't mind a cover if it's done well with a twist, but I can't see how they can do it with Cannonball

I agree. Janet would have sung it the best.

I agree an original song and that all the acts in the final can best interupt to their own style

It was announced yesterday (December 1) that this weekend's X Factor will feature the themes 'Motown' and 'The Song To Get You To The Final'.
