oh no, this seasonal trash needs to go :(

Oh dear, your opinion gets more and more ridiculous each year!

I really thought streaming would have meant the likes of Slade, Shakin' Stevens etc. would have also re-entered by now...

So this is 30 years old this year, and 'All I Want For Christmas...' is 20 years old.

I think Andrew Ridgeley can live only out of this song's royalties.

oh no, this seasonal trash needs to go :(

Yes and 3 more xmas songs still to come, we know you hate them, so can you please put all your hate in one post :lol:

I love Last Christmas. would be quite happy to see this in the top 40 every christmas. :heart: :heart:

 

Wish Leona would get back in there at some point but it looks like she is barely getting any streaming support so can't see that anytime soon. <_<

WIZZARD :wub: :wub: :cheer: :cheer:

The all time best Xmas song for me, so glad this seems to be the UK's solid 3rd/4th favourite.

I think Andrew Ridgeley can live only out of this song's royalties.

 

I don't think he's credited as songwriter on Last Christmas, so he wouldn't get too much from it.

 

He did however get a co-write on Careless Whisper, which has no doubt kept him going for a fair few years.

Wizzard :wub: probably one of the best christmas songs

Yes and 3 more xmas songs still to come, we know you hate them, so can you please put all your hate in one post :lol:

That would one loooooong post! :lol:

Nice to see Wizzard entering. Possibly my fave Christmas song. Pogues vs Mariah? What even is that?

YAY Wizzard :cheer: It's not my absolute fave Christmas song but I kinda HAVE to hear it to get in the spirit, similar with Merry Xmas Everybody.

Yay for Wizzard! :cheer:

Love Wizard!! Although having Christmas every day would get pretty expensive :wub:

Wizzard's song is good but I'm still Team Slade.

The kids in the song must be late 40s by now!
