Here is the 1990 thread of the decades and the top 10 songs from each poll will qualify for a final to decide our favourite Christmas song from the 20th Century.

All you have to do is pick your favourite five Christmas songs (singles or album tracks) that were released for the first time from 1990 to 1999 and put them in order with your favourite at the top of your list. It will be 5 points for 1st down to 1 point for fifth.

I know the 1990s is not the most prolific of the decades for Christmas songs so I will allow so levity as to what counts as a Christmas song. I will let you know if you need to pick a different songs if something is vetoed.

So your list will be either:

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th

Or

5pts
4pts
3pts
2pts
1pt

The voting deadline is Sunday 17th December.

+5 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
+4 East 17 - Stay Another Day (I know it's not particularly a Christmas song but on basis of the bells and snowy video and it being #1 at Christmas...)
+3 Spice Girls - 2 Become 1
+2 Jon Bon Jovi - Please Come Home For Christmas
+1 Type O Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning) (the effect of also being a BJSC Spinoff entry of mine as only stumbled across it last year x)

Cliff (Saviours Day), John Williams and Tom Jones Ft Cerys Matthews also would get votes for me.

Surely 2 Become 1 isn’t a Xmas song?

As per the top post, I am overseeing this one and I am allowing it.

Also, you voted for Dian Carroll and that is much more borderline of a Christmas song than 2 Become 1.
