its the Pogues all the way for me, I'd say Wizzard, Slade & Band Aid are next, then Mariah, then Wham!, I absolutely love all of them though :D

oh and 2 things:

 

1. Enter the xmas Chart Competition - real prizes offered!

 

2. Enter CW's album cover competition (just for fun!) in the Lounge.

Fairytale Of New York is the best of them by far.

 

The logical direction this takes is a CHRISTMAS CLASSICS RATE :D (just the 10 highest ones on iTunes at the moment).

I absolutely HATE this Rihanna song. I believe it's possibly the worst thing she's ever done (album tracks included).

 

you're right... it's really weird why she decided to release this crapp as 2nd single over amazing ones like 'Where have you been' or 'Roc me out' which could be huuuuge!!!!

you're right... it's really weird why she decided to release this crapp as 2nd single over amazing ones like 'Where have you been' or 'Roc me out' which could be huuuuge!!!!

I am sure she will release 5/6 songs anyway :lol:

'Where Have You Been' is the only worthwhile track on the entire album unfortunately. :(

I heard 'Where Have You Been' the other day and I far prefer 'You Da One'.

10. (-) Muse - Knights Of Cydonia - a total flash in the pan top 10 hit I know but :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: hearing this live is just LIFE

 

THIS. If only the top 10 could have been flipped upside down that week, this and "Whistle For The Choir" as a top 2 would have been amazing.

38 (from 32) Christina Perri - A Thousand Years [D]

3 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

10 The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York - especially for Kirsty's bit. Could do without Shane''s contribution to be honest.

4 Wham! - Last Christmas

4 Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday brilliant

7 Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? The original best, Band Aid 2 average, Band Aid 20 rubbish

7 Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

1 Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas

1 Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone love this

6 John Lennon, Yoko Ono, The Plastic Ono Band and The Harlem Community Choir - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

5 Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

 

 

I'm glad this JLS song has had such a pathetic chart run, their ballads get worse and this is a total non-event.
