04 • Wham! - Last Christmas | 259 points

I must admit, this has fallen out of favour with me over the years. It's a nice song and remains a perennial favourite of most of the country but it's quite a downbeat song for Christmas time. I can see why it is a favourite of so many people though. One year this will most likely hit #1 when the fans rally just like they have with Mariah Carey this year. (totally didn't deserve it imo.).

03 • Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree | 276 points

YAY! My other Christmas fave is here! FUN FACT!!!!! THIS WAS #1 ON THIS LIST RIGHT UP UNTIL THE LAST 10 CHARTS CAME IN. What a bloody stomper of a Christmas track. Truly the best of the recent modern Christmas songs. A real shame then that their isn't a proper music video and just the live video sad.gif I have no idea what it is about this song that makes it so good! Kelly's soaring vocals? The unrelenting upbeat nature of the song? The Christmassyness of the whole thing? It's just sublime and everything I could want in a Christmas song.

How could you not love Wham and Kelly is a new Xmas classic for me!

Roy Wood does like a rocker as that was the attire of the early 70s as Wizzard, Slade and T-Rex when Glam Rock was huge, hence the mad clothes 😆

02 • The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York | 302 points

AHHHHHHHHH I knew this would feature in the top 2 in the end, although for a while it looked like it would miss the top 5! This song for me is just utterly depressing and I honestly can't see why it's such a big deal every Christmas. It always gets a lot of attention now (and I'm pretty sure it's been brought up quite a lot in recent years) because of a certain word in the song, so that most likely contributes to the fact that every year it does well. It's not really all that Christmassy and it's quite downbeat for the most part. The chrous is kind of catchy I guess?

01 • Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You | 357 points

JOSEPH, JAY & CALUM will be so happy with this result as I'm sure a lot of you guys are, but those three I feel are the biggest Loons of this song kink.gif I get it. It's a favourite, it's catchy, it's Christmassy, very festive and Mariah is a goddess to top it all off, but my god is this the most overrated Christmas song of all time or what? The fact that it took 26? Years to finally hit #1 should tell you all everything you need to know laugh.gif Whilst I was searching for this video, I found an updated new video for the song, although I've chosen the original in the spirit of the song. So here you are, your last song here! How many of you honestly couldn't see this happening?

You don’t think the Pogues sounds Christmassy??? So does for me.

Glad to see it doing well as it’s essential Xmas for me and sounds a lot different to the rest of the Xmas classics. Pity it looks like Mariah has got the number one as The Pogues normally beat it on this countdown lol.

I didn't vote for any of the top 4 but all of them have a certain appeal.

Thanks to James and the others for putting this chart together.

Strong words mate, but fair enough each to their own in musical opinions.

So sorry that I didn't end up voting in this - I remembered about it and in a tired state I was trying to find it in The Lounge to no avail and then forgot again. Of course, it was in the Personal Charts forum. My ultimate favourites so far are courtesy of Ariana, Boney M, Chris De Burgh, Coldplay, Greg Lake, John Lennon + Slade wub.gif

I'm sure we could talk to the uk Chart Forum about that but i'm unsure about doing this two years in a row.
