Slightly early this week as there is precisely zero suspense over the number one single. This week's musings can be accessed from the front page or the latest news box.

As Do They Know It's Christmas is No.1 for the 4th time, & has its 13th Week at No.1, I compiled this List.

 

NOTE -- As you can see - Robson & Jerome have managed to be on each of the Top 2 Songs in this List!

Thanks for that list Colin. Interesting that three songs that have been the Christmas number one on two or more occasions are high in the list.
