The British Hit Singles & Albums stated that Rea was "one of the most popular UK singer-songwriters of the late 1980s. He was already a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with his 18th chart entry; The Road to Hell (Part 2)". As of 2009, he has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. In the U.S. he is best known for the 1978 hit song "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" that charted No.12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at No.1 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. This success earned him the Grammy Award nomination for the Best New Artist in 1979. His other hit songs include, "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", "Stainsby Girls", "On the Beach" (U.S. Adult Contemporary No.9), "Let's Dance", "Josephine", "Driving Home for Christmas", "Tell Me There's a Heaven", "Auberge", "Looking for the Summer", "Winter Song", "Nothing To Fear", "Julia", "Working On It" (Mainstream Rock No. 1), and "If You Were Me", a duet with Elton John. Two of his studio albums, The Road to Hell and Auberge, topped the UK Albums Chart. Rea was nominated three times for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist: in 1988, 1989 and 1990. The book Guinness Rockopedia described him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1978 30 Fool (If You Think It's Over) -1- 1979 44 Diamonds -1- 1982 65 Loving You -1- 1983 85 Let It Loose -1- 1983 60 I Can Hear Your Heartbeat -2- 1984 65 I Don't Know What It Is But I Love It -1- 1984 86 Touche D'Amour -2- 1984 78 Ace Of Hearts -3- 1985 26 Stainsby Girls -1- 1985 67 Josephine -2- 1986 69 It's All Gone -1- 1986 12 On The Beach -2- 1986 79 Hello Friend -3- 1987 12 Let's Dance -1- 1987 47 Loving You Again -2- 1987 67 Joys Of Christmas -3- 1988 73 Que Sera -4- 1988 14 Driving Home For Christmas -NAS- 1989 53 Working On It -1- 1989 10 The Road To Hell (Part 2) -1- 1989 83 That's What They Always Say -2- 1990 24 Tell Me There's A Heaven -3- 1990 69 Texas -4- 1991 16 Auberge -1- 1991 57 Heaven -2- 1991 49 Looking For The Summer -3- 1991 27 Winter Song -4- 1992 16 Nothing To Fear -1- 1992 31 God's Great Banana Skin -2- 1993 53 Soft Top Hard Shoulder -3- 1993 18 Julia -1- 1994 28 You Can Go Your Own Way -1- 1996 77 Girl In A Sports Car -2- 1996 41 'Disco' La Passione (Chris Rea & Shirley Bassey) -1- 1997 44 Let's Dance (Middlesbrough FC feat.

December 21, 20187 yr The first three songs were non-Christmas songs and I thought I'd tuned into the wrong show :lol: But it's all been Christmas since then! I tuned in at the right time then! Was just finishing an episode of Black Mirror. Was introduced 2 weeks ago and have been hooked since. Rose-Merry Christmas to you, Petivity - and to everybody at BuzzJack! Driving home for Christmas :music: *pirouettes around room*
December 21, 20187 yr Never realised this was more popular than some of the 'bigger' Christmas songs. Love it though
December 21, 20187 yr Driving Home For Christmas while some people are driving home for Christmas? Love that timing.
December 21, 20187 yr I adore Driving Home For Christmas but it still annoys me that the line 'to pass the time away, driving in my car' doesn't remotely rhyme :P
December 21, 20187 yr Not a fan of Ariana Santa Tell Me but think that's a new peak for it and happy about that!
December 21, 20187 yr If it was Christmas every day, we'd all be broke :o Also, would the snowman be able to bring the snow in July? Not necessarily as only small shops are open and they could only have a limit amount of stock. That episode of fairly odd parents springs to mind
December 21, 20187 yr Our Rosemary was iconic in I'm a Celeb! http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/customavatars/avatar58838_379.gif
December 21, 20187 yr Not necessarily as only small shops are open and they could only have a limit amount of stock. That episode of fairly odd parents springs to mind That's a point actually, how would you be able to plan buying presents for the next Christmas the next day if only small shops were open? And would you have to plan for the next few Christmasses in advance on Christmas? It's all very confusing.

She sang rockabilly, pop and country music, and had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s, and is ranked fourth in that decade surpassed only by Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Ray Charles. She is perhaps best known in the United States for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", a United States holiday standard for more than 50 years. At 4 ft 9 inches tall (approximately 145 cm), she received the nickname Little Miss Dynamite in 1957 after recording the song "Dynamite" and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following. Lee's popularity faded in the late 1960s as her voice matured, but she continued a successful recording career by returning to her roots as a country singer with a string of hits through the 1970s and 1980s. She is a member of the Rock and Roll, Country Music and Rockabilly Halls of Fame. She is also a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Brenda currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Brenda Lee is the only female artist to chart songs in every genre (including pop, blues, rock, gospel and country). - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1960 04 Sweet Nothin's -2'- 1960 12 I'm Sorry -3'- 1960 31 I Want To Be Wanted -1- 1961 12 Let's Jump The Broomstick -1'- 1961 45 Emotions -1- 1961 22 Dum Dum -1*- 1961 38 Fool #1 -1- 1962 46 Break It To Me Gently -1^- 1962 03 Speak To Me Pretty -2*- 1962 05 Here Comes That Feeling -NAS- 1962 15 It Started All Over Again -NAS- 1962 06 Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree -1"- 1963 07 All Alone Am I -1- 1963 10 Losing You -2^- 1963 14 I Wonder -1- 1963 28 Sweet Impossible You -NAS- 1964 05 As Usual -2- 1964 26 Think -1~- 1964 17 Is It True? -NAS- 1964 25 Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day -2"- 1965 41 Thanks A Lot -NAS- 1965 22 Too Many Rivers -2~- Social Media http://i.imgur.com/sx7weFD.png http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

She was born and raised in the London Borough of Islington, London, where she attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. Lewis achieved national recognition when she won the third series of The X Factor in 2006, winning a £1 million recording contract with Simon Cowell's record label, Syco Music. Her winner's single, a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This", peaked at number one for four weeks on the UK Singles Chart and it broke a world record for having 50,000 digital downloads within 30 minutes. In February 2007, Lewis signed a five-album contract in the United States with Clive Davis's record label, J Records. Lewis's success continued with the release of her debut album, Spirit, in 2007; it went 10× platinum in the United Kingdom and became the fourth best selling album of the 2000s. The lead single, "Bleeding Love", spent seven weeks at number one. She achieved international recognition with the album in 2008 when it topped charts around the world. Spirit has sold more than eight million copies worldwide, and "Bleeding Love" peaked at number one in over 30 countries, becoming the best-selling single of 2008. As a result, she was proclaimed 'Top New Artist' by Billboard in 2008. Under the guidance of Cowell and Davis, Lewis released her second UK number-one album Echo and recorded the theme song for the film Avatar in 2009, while embarking on her first UK arena tour, The Labyrinth, in 2010. In 2011, Lewis released the non-album single "Collide", a collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii, and her first extended play, Hurt: The EP. Her third album, Glassheart, was released in 2012. It marked a new creative direction for Lewis, drawing inspiration from dubstep and electronic music. However, it failed to match the commercial performance of her two previous albums, peaking at number three on the UK Albums Chart and becoming her first to not be certified platinum. Lewis began to record material for her first Christmas album during her Glassheart Tour, which took place in mid 2013. Christmas, with Love was released later that year. Its lead single, "One More Sleep", peaked at number three in the UK. With this chart entry, Lewis became the first British female solo artist to achieve eight top 5 singles, surpassing Olivia Newton-John's record of seven. With a career starting in 2006, Lewis is the second best-selling act, behind One Direction, to have emerged from The X Factor franchise, having sold 20 million records worldwide. Lewis has won two MOBO Awards, an MTV Europe Music Award, and two World Music Awards. She is also a six time Brit Awards and three time Grammy Award nominee. Lewis is known for her expansive four octave vocal range, power, technical control and, in particular, her frequent use of the falsetto register. Aside from her musical career, Lewis is a philanthropist and an animal welfare campaigner for World Animal Protection and is a supporter of other animal rights charities and organisations; she is also a vegetarian. In 2014, Lewis made her film debut in the supporting role of Elena in the romantic comedy musical, Walking on Sunshine. In 2016, Lewis made her Broadway debut as Grizabella in the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats; she played the role from that July to October. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 2006 01 A Moment Like This -1- 2007 01 Bleeding Love -2- MILLION SELLER 2007 46 Forgiveness -B-SIDE- 2007 25 Footprints In The Sand 2007 61 Whatever It Takes -AT- 2007 73 The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face -AT- 2007 97 Take A Bow -AT- 2008 02 Better In Time / Footprints In The Sand -3- 2008 05 Forgive Me -4- 2008 01 Run -5- MILLIONAIRE 2008 98 Misses Glass -AT- 2009 02 Happy -1- 2009 29 Stop Crying Your Heart Out -AT- 2010 14 I Got You -2- 2011 04 Collide (Leona Lewis & Avicii) -NAS- 2011 08 Hurt -EP- 2012 07 Trouble (Leona Lewis feat.

December 21, 20187 yr I wonder if Clean Bandit can perform with "Baby" how they did with "I Miss You" once the new year comes. January felt a completely different chart landscape to December last year. Yeh it possibly could but IMY was in a healthier top 10 position on the Xmas chart last year, maybe jump into the top 15!?
