40. (NE) Naujos Pupytes - Mano Svente (2011)

 

 

In 2021 year Oksana Pikul relauched her group (Pupytes) as duo together with Monika Sedziuviene. In July Lithuanian beautiful ladies recorded very catchy "Superhitas" (

), but in Christmas countdown we will enjoy their old single "Mano Svente" ("My Holiday").

 

38. (NE) Tiffany Houghton and Tiffany Alvord - Mrs. Claus (2019)

 

 

 

39. (30) Jessica Simpson - Let It Snow (2004)

36. (28) Gabija and Zygis - Jau Kaledos (2017)

 

 

37. (NE) Laisva - Padovanok Man Ji Kaledom (2016)

 

 

Laisva's Christmas song was in the previous pre-list, but got a small boost and reached all-time top 40 only in this year.

35. (NE) DAR - Kitokios Kaledos (2020)

 

 

"Kitokios Kaledos" spent 2 weeks on the top of my chart and became the first # 1 for DAR.

 

33. (15) Mango - Liudnos Kaledos (2016)

 

 

Two years ago I was impressed by their wonderful comeback album "2020" and overestimated "Liudnos Kaledos".

It's a good song, but far enough from all-time top 15.

 

34. (27) Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen - Christmas And Love (2018)

 

 

Christmas is not Christmas without new festive Ivana's song since 2014 year.

31. (26) Britney Spears - My Only Wish (This Year) (2000)

 

 

32. (23) Dana - It's Gonna Be A Cold Cold Christmas (1975)

 

Edited December 9, 20213 yr by Last Dreamer

 

29. (24) Me and My - Too Much Christmas (2007)

 

 

30. (11) Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen - Missing You At Christmas Time (2012)

 

 

It's the biggest falling from all top 40 entries.

 

27. (20) Cheeky Girls - Have A Cheeky Christmas (2003)

 

 

It's my favourite Cheeky Girls song.

 

28. (21) Natalie Powers and Spencer - Merry Christmas (2013)

 

 

Six years after ESC hit "Flying The Flag" Natalie got her 4th chart-topper.

 

25. (14) Cascada - Jingle Bell Rock (2012)

 

 

26. (13) Girls Aloud - Not Tonight Santa (2005)

 

 

It was very predictable falling, possibly I will remove this song from Christmas top 40 in 2023 year.

23. (22) Sandy Moelling - All I Want For Christmas Is You (2004)

 

 

This cover version of the well-known Mariah's hit was recorded by the member of popular German girl group No Angels.

 

24. (35) Rosemary Clooney and Gene Autry - The Night Before Christmas Song (1952)

 

 

Unfortunately some beautiful vintage Christmas songs are forgotten now.

 

21. (17) Kim Wilde and Lawnmower Deth - F U Kristmas (2017)

 

 

"F U Kristmas" already became the modern classic, which perfectly describes my mood in last three years.

 

22. (18) Inga From Sweden - Inga's XXXmas (2007)

 

 

Inga presents very catchy festive, but failed single (# 54 in Sweden). It's nice music discovery if you liked bubbly Xmas pop tunes from Cheeky Girls and Fast Food Rockers.

Potential hits for 2023 list :

 

Inga Jankauskaite - Apie Tai Yra Kaledos

 

 

Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen - Sweetest Christmas Night

 

 

 

 

19. (16) Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen - Keep Me Warm This Christmas Night (2015)

 

 

20. (NE) Petula Clark - Christmas Cards (1954)

 

 

Petula Clark is my favourite vintage (pre-1970s) singer.

 

17. (NE) Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen - It's Christmas Let's Have A Party (2020)

 

 

Three festive songs were my # 1s from November 2020 to January 2021, but Cam - Classic beat them all on Christmas week.

 

18. (19) Bucks Fizz - Don't Start Without Me (2018)

 

 

Damned godawful streaming, almost all Bucks Fizz singles after comeback should be at least top 10 hits. :cry:

 

 

 

15. (NE) Linda Bennett - An Old Fashioned Christmas (Daddy's Home) (1975)

 

 

This single is the contender for my best music discovery of 2021 year. I don't why some blogs called it "Worst Christmas Song ever".

 

16. (NE) Natalija Bunke - Puga (2019)

 

 

Two years ago YVA leader got her 6th solo number one, which spent a month on the top of the most prestigious music chart.

Twiggy is the one from my favourite singers, only in 70s decade she had eight number one hits in "Gražios Dainos".
