December 23, 201410 yr Girls Aloud finishing 55th in a rate of 63 songs on Buzzjack *.* I really don't mind Saviours Day at all, it almost sounds like one of Ireland's 90s Eurovision winners in some way.
December 23, 201410 yr A Winter's Tale should be higher, really lovely and underrated Christmas/winter track :( (I gave it a 9 btw ^_^) Edited December 23, 201410 yr by FrostytheWallaby

December 24, 201410 yr I can't stop listening to 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' cause of this thread :lol: no idea what the hell it's about but it's so addictive. A Spaceman Came Travelling is a rather lovely song. Unfortunately, people tend to think of only one Chris de Burgh song - the awful Lady In Red - and decide the rest of his output must be equally dire. A lot of it is, but this is an exception.
December 24, 201410 yr I agree, i was watching the TOTP performance on XMAS TOTP2 last night Such a endearing classic. I do prefer 'Tiger Fett' by them more though. Edited December 24, 201410 yr by HONKBONKXMAS
December 25, 201410 yr Totally agree that Lonely This Christmas should not be that low, should be top 10 at least, such a fantastic song, and also interested to see where Mariah's All I Want For Christmas end up and think that Pogues could be #1 on here. Fantastic rate though and also glad that Band Aid 20 finished so low, such a mess and totally insults the original and far superior 1984 original.
December 25, 201410 yr Interesting to see Winter Wonderland, Santa Claus is coming to town &Frank Sinatras version of Have yourself a merry little Christmas in this part of the countdown - we could nearly have a which version do you prefere of these specific songs - mines Macy Gray, The Crystals & ChrisMartins!
