Lewis Capaldi has taken aim at Michael Bublé as he claims Christmas hits are keeping his latest single off the top of the charts.
The Scots singer joked he's "looking for" the Canadian crooner because he's got a bone to pick with him for preventing him from bagging another number one with new single, Pointless.
Pointless is currently number one on the Big Top 40, which takes into account radio airplay, but only number 20 on the Official Singles Chart, behind Bublé at number 10 and Mariah Carey at number one.

Scots superstar Lewis Capaldi has today unveiled the heartfelt music video for his new single Pointless - and it's a real tearjerker. Taken from his brand new album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, the video for the piano-led ballad explores the touching relationship between a struggling single mother and her young son.
It’s the penultimate Friday before Christmas and I think we all know what that means. It means that the race to Christmas number one has begun.
Christmas, for some, can be a very lonely time of year. That's not talked about enough. But it seems that for droves of people up and down the country, they've found solace and acceptance in one song in particular - Raye's bold and bracing Escapism., which has quickly become the most unlikely contender for the coveted Official Christmas Number 1 in years.
The king – or at least duke – of Christmas, Michael Bublé, has backed Lewis Capaldi in the race for this year’s UK Christmas number one. Despite Capaldi’s latest track being in no way Chrismassy. This follows Capaldi saying that he has a “gripe to grind with Mr Bublé”, as his new single, ‘Pointless’, is getting “hammered in the charts by Christmas songs”.Capaldi made his jokey comments last week while filming his ‘BBC Radio 2 In Concert’ show, which will air on Radio 2 tonight, as well as being watchable on the BBC’s iPlayer.“No one told me that it was probably a bad idea to release a song at Christmas – a song that has no reference to Christmas”, he told the audience at the BBC Radio Theatre.
