During the interview, the singer promoted his Christmas single You're Christmas To Me. 

While promoting his single, Sam, acknowledged that some might perceive all new Christmas songs as subpar.

However, he confidently believed that he had a potential number one hit on his hands.

"It's not often you find yourself in a chart race with the almighty Wham!," Sam said.

The artist continued: "But, with massive respect to those absolute legends, there's always room for new music and new artists coming through."

Charlie was quick to admit he was one of those who believes "the best ones are the old ones".

The BBC Breakfast star replied: "If I'm honest with you Sam and no disrespect to your single, I'm a bit like that, 'Oh what about a bit of Bill Crosby', there's all those ones, you're up against it in a way."

Sam agreed with the host's comment and jokingly added: "Stranger things have happened."

Later on his Radio 1 show, Greg discussed the interview and felt that the Charlie had been critical towards the singer.

Later on in the studio, while on-air Greg said to Sam: "They gave you a bit of a rough ride on BBC Breakfast this morning didn't they?"

Sam replied: "Oh Gosh, yeah."

Making fun of Charlie's comment, Greg said: "'I prefer the old ones', Alright mate b****y hell.

"I wanted to chip in and go, 'You know all the old ones were new at one point'."
