Actress KATE WINSLET has secretly recorded a single - and is aiming to top the Christmas charts (DEC01).

The TITANIC (1997) star has recorded the track WHAT IF? for her latest film, according to Britain's MIRROR newspaper.

The song was produced by STEVE MAC, who has recorded hits for WESTLIFE, BOYZONE, AND 5IVE. The film is an adaptation of CHARLES DICKENS' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, which also stars NICOLAS CAGE, JANE HORROCKS and SIMON CALLOW.

A source close to the film says, "This was just a one-off, but people are so excited. It's a terrific ballad. EMI will certainly hope to tempt Kate back into the studio again - she has a lovely voice. " Winslet has asked that proceeds of the song be donated to the NSPCC and the SARGEANT CANCER FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN. (ACW/WNTMI/MCM)
