36 Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas

 

 

Merry Xmas everyboy, 3rd time in 4 years this song has made the countdown. I like his original version of "Fool (If You Think It's Over) even though Chris reportdly hated it.

Mariah rose 2 places to no17, so the Pogues could well be between 11-13 then - it basically had 2 versions top 20, depends what sales were for the top 10!!

16 Labrinth feat Tinie Tempah - Earthquake

 

Yes! The Pogues are top 15 ^_^

This Earthquake annoys me too much.

 

Not pleased Warzone is not top 40. :(

Did Mariah outpeak last year?

This Earthquake annoys me too much.

 

 

A Part of the song reminds me of Ghost Town By Specials in the early '80s.

Rofl @ Joey Essex harping on about how he thought they had a legit chance of getting to #01. :lol:

 

This version of Last Christmas is bad. I just heard the version from Glee which was slightly better

Yes! The Pogues are top 15 ^_^

 

They were 14 on Thursdays mids, with the 48 hour pre xmas day push to come - i predict they are no12!!

15 Maroon 5 feat Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger

 

A Part of the song reminds me of Ghost Town By Specials in the early '80s.

 

Still loving Earthquake....was no1 for 6 weeks in a 9 week spell for me and still top5 - Tinie is awesome in it!!

Not happy at how low Lego House is this week - I was semi-expecting it to drop out of the top 10 but didn't think it'd be as low as #14. Hopefully it will re-enter the top 10 in the coming weeks.
