Quite shocked at that, it's a terrible song imo - not a patch on her previous material.

Omg it's my favourite so far!!! The video is Gorgeous!!

Fairytale of New York :heart:

 

Absolutely love hearing Christmas songs in December ^_^

The best xmas song like, ever.

Rebecca top 15 :D

 

The countdown to Christmas begins :wub:

If I'm right The Pouges (and Mariah as well) entered the top 40 a week later than last year.

Time for the annual prediction - will they censor THAT word?

 

And the answer is... no :lol:

I remember playing Fairytale of New York to a few people in America who'd never heard the song before. Their jaws dropped when that word came in.

And the answer is... no :lol:

 

I don't remember them ever doing so. (Which is good, as the censored version just ruins it. Completely needless censoring too as 'f*****' is clearly not being used in THAT way).

Number 16 - one of the few places in the 10-20 range it hasn't occupied before

I wonder why the Xmas songs performed so comparatively badly in 2010 to usual :unsure:

I don't remember them ever doing so.

 

They did in 2007, there was a massive outcry, and eventually it was reinstated.

 

Although no-one ever complains when that word gets edited out of "Money For Nothing".

You mean the word that refers to a meatball? :P Or the donkey?

I don't remember them ever doing so.

 

I think it was 2007 that it was censored on Radio 1. Needless to say, the backlash was huge and it was reversed quite quickly.

The did the year before last (I think), and were forced to not to as the use of the word was in a different context.

Maybe people weren't that festive right I'm the middle of the recession? :heehee: I actually have no idea.
