Posted December 29, 201114 yr DISCLAIMER: This is a Christmas HITS rate, not a Christmas SONGS rate. Not all of the songs have a Christmas theme. This is not an error. Hello and welcome to BuzzJack's Ultimate Christmas Hits Rate :D This is a rate that follows the same formula as danielXF's 'Ultimate' series of rates that took place earlier this year. For those of you who don't remember, the basic premise is that you vote for your ten favourite songs and your one least favourite song from the list and give them points as such: +15 Favourite +12 2nd favourite +10 3rd favourite +8 ... +6 ... +5 ... +4 ... +3 ... +2 ... +1 10th favourite -2 Least favourite The five songs that receive the highest total points from each round will go straight to the final round. The next five highest from each round will go to a playoff round. This is part 4 of this rate. The 33 songs below occupied the top 3 slots on the Christmas singles chart of each year between 2000 and 2011 (with the exception of Westlife feat. Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me, 2005's Christmas #4 stuck behind a second Christmas top 3 finish by 'Fairytale Of New York' by The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl, which already qualified from round 2). THE SONGS: Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah [#1, 2008] Band Aid 20 - Do They Know It's Christmas?
