Posted December 7, 20213 yr 5th December 2021 Its straight in on top for the late John Miles exciting forgotten pop masterpiece, High Fly, which peaked at in 1975, and which goes one better following his sad death, while Music and Slow Down, both gems enter lower down and all 3 very different from each other, glam rock, rock ballad epic, and rock discofunk. Also from 1975, the best christmas song of all is back yet again for Greg Lake at 9, its prretty much charted at least once each decade since the 70s cos I Believe In Father Christmas. The Abba domination slips a bit allowing some tracks to climb to more deserving new peaks. As i get away for my first week long break away from the house in 2 years, the usual christmas song deluge on video channels in gran canaria is absent, so elton and ed and their new entry will have to wait a week for me to play it as i cant download my itunes purchases from abroad, annoyingly. For my ipod and blue tooth speaker.

December 11, 20213 yr Christmas has started here I see! The Ronettes' Sleigh Ride is one of my favourites so good to see that make an entry, I'm not minding the Ed/Elton collab either!
December 12, 20213 yr Hi John, John Miles was a one-hit wonder in the Netherlands. "Music" was a big hit in 1976 and peaked at no 2. The ABBA´s still going strong :heart: SHM/The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran Top 20, Niall Horan/Anne-Marie Top 30 and U2, Sting, Blondie and Santana Top 40 :cheer: Love the new entry from Ed & Elton :heart: And of course all the other Christmas tracks :w00t:

Hi Jordan! :) Thanks for the picks! That SHM and Weeknd track is a slow grower I think! Agnes can always be relied on for a great dance toon! :D Yeah I also like the cover of Everywhere, nothing ground-breakingly different, but tastefully loyal to the original. I'd also be surprised if Merry Christmas outdoes Step Into Christmas in festive charts to come, but then Step Into Christmas didn't sound like an annual classic in 1973 - Slade and Wizzard did! :D cheers!
