(I know a handful of the songs included above are contentious, such as 'Only You'!)

 

Definitely interesting to see that Slade have fallen slightly out of favour, while Chris Rea & Shakin' Stevens have overtaken.

 

Coldplay the highest original song from the 2010s! It reached a high of #75 last year.

That definitely feels like the right top 10 these days! Mariah rightfully slaying :heart:

Note btw these are all American artists I think?

 

Someone actually performed that last year 'Rock n Roll Christmas' at a pub I went to. It was part of their set, no complaints from anyone amazingly

 

 

My fave Xmas song of all time. Have it by GG on a compilation cd, It's Christmas Time, from 1994.

Edited December 4, 20168 yr by Common Sense

I Believe In Father Xmas by Greg Lake is my fave Xmas song :wub: Which you never hear anymore on radio

It's my favourite too Fiesta but it Definately gets a lot of spins at radio - it was in the AirPlay chart as recently as 2014 - didn't make it last year but I'm sure it was top 100, even radio 1 play it!
