Here is the 1990 thread of the decades and the top 10 songs from each poll will qualify for a final to decide our favourite Christmas song from the 20th Century.

 

All you have to do is pick your favourite five Christmas songs (singles or album tracks) that were released for the first time from 1990 to 1999 and put them in order with your favourite at the top of your list. It will be 5 points for 1st down to 1 point for fifth.

 

I know the 1990s is not the most prolific of the decades for Christmas songs so I will allow so levity as to what counts as a Christmas song. I will let you know if you need to pick a different songs if something is vetoed.

 

So your list will be either:

 

1st

2nd

3rd

4th

5th

 

Or

 

5pts

4pts

3pts

2pts

1pt

 

The voting deadline is Sunday 17th December.

Surely 2 Become 1 isn’t a Xmas song?

As per the top post, I am overseeing this one and I am allowing it.

 

Also, you voted for Dian Carroll and that is much more borderline of a Christmas song than 2 Become 1.
