Definitely interesting to see that Slade have fallen slightly out of favour, while Chris Rea & Shakin' Stevens have overtaken. Coldplay the highest original song from the 2010s! It reached a high of #75 last year. |

QUOTE(Mack @ Dec 2 2016, 01:12 PM) Someone actually performed that last year 'Rock n Roll Christmas' at a pub I went to. It was part of their set, no complaints from anyone amazingly My fave Xmas song of all time. Have it by GG on a compilation cd, It's Christmas Time, from 1994.

It's my favourite too Fiesta but it Definately gets a lot of spins at radio - it was in the AirPlay chart as recently as 2014 - didn't make it last year but I'm sure it was top 100, even radio 1 play it!
