I'm going with The Pogues this year, the song has grown massively on me over the last couple years and I prefer it to Mariah's now. Love both of them though. :D
Mariahs is a great pop song but the Pogues is just so much more unique!
The Pogues winning atm. :D
AIWFCIY is incredible, Fairytale Of New York is alright. The Extra Festive version of the former is incredible squared.
Null vote since I like them both equally and tire of the annual war. Christmas playlist is going to drop on my phone this weekend :)
I don't think either are close to being the best Christmas songs out there. Mistletoe & Wine is my choice of big UK chart hits and in terms of best songs, Underneath The Tree and Where Are You, Christmas? both nuke these 2 as well.

The Pogues for sure, it's a great song. Mariah's in my list of Christmas songs I groan at and actively try to avoid.

 

Although I sometimes wish there were a few others that did well, Stop The Cavalry, Sleigh Ride, Walking In The Air, all those would be welcome.

I don't really know The Pogues song too well which is weird considering I live in the UK, but I never seem to hear it?? I literally just had to listen to it to remind myself of what it sounded like. Maybe I just subconsciously manage to avoid/ignore it every single year it comes back into the charts, whereas I hear Mariah's song hundreds of times every December without fail. Strange. Having said that, I did of course recognise it upon listening ("and the bells are ringing out for Christmas day")

 

Having just re-listened I was shocked to hear the lyric "you cheap lousy fa**ot"... Christmas classic?

That word had a different meaning at the time.

Bump as these 2 look set to enter the top 20 once again this week ~

It's so hard to separate them.

 

FTONY is such an emotional song.

AIWFCIY is such a joyfull song.

 

Both are 9/10.
