One team created a song titled Christmas Drillings, while the other made This Or That. The song with the most streams at the end of the month will be declared the winner.

Could Sidemen feature in the UK's Official Charts? List explored

Sidemen, the UK's biggest YouTube group, released two Christmas-themed songs earlier this month. KSI, Vikkstar123, TBJZL along with British rapper JME were given $100K to create a single. The other team consisting of W2S, Miniminter, Zerkaa, and Behzinga, had a humble budget of $100 to create theirs.

Both teams successfully completed the challenge and released their songs on various platforms, including YouTube, iTunes, and Spotify. Unfortunately, they missed the date of submission to get featured on the UK's Official Chart list for the current week. The next batch of selections will be announced tomorrow.

However, they did feature in the top songs on the UK's iTunes list. At the time of writing, Christmas Drillings is number one on the list, followed by This Or That. Here are the top 10 songs on the list:
