After The Priests... next it could be The Vicars.
Three Catholic priests Fr David Delargy, Fr Martin O'Hagan and Fr Eugene O'Hagan are set to have a Christmas number one record.
And now a pair of singing vicars are hoping to emulate their success with proceeds from sales of their CD going to African civil war victims.
The Rev Tony Luke and the Rev Dave Perkins are behind the album "Hot Under The Collar" which features a range of rock, folk, traditional and operatic numbers.
Rev Luke made it to the bootcamp stage of ITV's X-Factor show in 2005 and now he has teamed-up with his clergyman man pal to forma duo.
Rev Perkins, 57, a vicar in Belper and Ambergate, Derbyshire, said: "With the run-up to Christmas, it's the ideal present, full of easy-listening, folky songs.
"It was great fun doing it. We both feel that, and it's captured the imagination of a lot of people. The idea of two singing vicars does but the big thing is to raise a lot of money for the charity."
Money from sales of the CD will be used to fund the Christian church in the Sudan, where it is helping with the reconstruction process.
Mr Luke sings traditional and operatic numbers such as Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" while Mr Perkins performs the album's rock and easy-listening songs.
