December 18, 20187 yr Author Bohemian Rhapsody & Another Brick In The Wall worse than Mr. Bobby, Bob The Builder & The Justice Collective? Interesting... Very much here for the cascada appreciation though! I don't have anything against the most novelty songs. :)

December 18, 20187 yr Author 3/10 48. Johnny Mathis - When A Child Is Born (1976) 49. Justice Collective - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (2012) 50. St Winifred’s School Choir – There’s No One Quite Like Grandma (1980) 51. Harry Belafonte - Mary's Boy Child (1957) 52. NHS Choir - A Bridge Over You (2015) 53.
