Exactly, it's refreshing when you have abominations like the 'Return of the Mack' remix and most of that ilk cluttering up the chart.

A lot already compared to the last two years.

 

 

The likely explanation for that would be that sales are a lot lower this year but Christmas songs are still selling roughly the same as they do every year.

 

Alongside the buildup to Christmas seemingly starting earlier each year..

I quite like the production on You Want Me but his rapping is just really offputting :/ He sounds like someone from TOWIE releasing a novelty single and chucking a dance beat behind it.

I've always seen hype building up from Nov 1. :P

'Fairytale of New York' will be in there somewhere (presumably multiple versions, too), but it is not listed under the 'holiday' genre which is why it has been missed. I see this mentioned by someone at least once every year. :lol:

A lot of Xmas style food etc basically starts being delivered to supermarkets (eg.tins of chocolates like roses/quality street/celebrations) basically from September when the summer sales are over. On Nov 1st this stuff gets moved to end isles or to the focal points of stores!
