Bit of an oversight there from the host about the original artist behind Hallelujah.

 

 

Yes the original was by the writer, Leonard Cohen.

Was hoping for Nizlopi but at least we got One True Voice :lol:

 

The host mentioned they were only playing songs that never made #1 as well as not being Xmas #1 so that narrowed down the pack a fair bit I expect.

Just catching up on this thread. If they were only playing those Xmas number twos that never made number one then the list of songs available to them was:

1954 David Whitfield - Santo Natale

1956 Frankie Vaughan - Green Door

1964 Petula Clark - Downtown

1965 Cliff Richard - Wind Me Up (Let Me Go)

1966 Donovan - Sunshine Superman

1967 The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (EP)

1968 The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup

1969 Kenny Rogers and New Edition - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

1970 McGuinness Flint - When I'm Dead And Gone

1971 T.Rex - Jeepster

1974 Bachman-Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

1975 Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas

1977 The Brighouse And Rastrick Brass Band - The Floral Dance

1979 Abba - I Have A Dream

1981 Cliff Richard - Daddy's Home

1982 Shakin' Stevens - The Shakin' Stevens EP

1983 Slade - My Oh My

1984 Wham! - Last Christmas/Everything She Wants

1987 The Pogues ft Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York

1991 Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me

1992 Michael Jackson - Heal The World

1994 Mariah Carey - All I Want Christmas

1995 Mike Flowers' Pops - Wonderwall

2000 Westlife - What Makes A Man

2001 Gordon Haskell - How Wonderful You Are

2002 One True Voice - Sacred Trust/After You're Gone (I'll Still Be Loving You)

2003 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)

2004 Ronan Keating ft Yusuf - Father And Son

2008 Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

2016 Rag N Bone Man - Human

2018 Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho

 

Obviously one of those could remove themselves from the list in a few hours.....

 

[Edited, as I got my ones and twos the wrong way around lol]
