Posted November 29, 2024Nov 29 Now that we're fast approaching Christmas, it's the perfect time to declare Buzzjack's favourite Christmas song of the 21st Century! :cheer: Similar to the 20thC retro thread last year, we have decided to split the the century-so-far into two halves - the noughties and the tens! (2020 onwards is not welcome here...yet x :kink:) Simply rank your top 5 Christmas songs of the noughties below. It can be any song released between January 2000 and December 2009 that fits the festive criteria - be it a single, an album track or a B-side. The TOP 10 songs of the 2000s will join the top 10 songs of the 2010s (the thread of which is just around the corner, courtesy of Roba :P) which will produce a top 20 final! :yahoo: The deadline for this thread will be Saturday 7th December 2024, at 23:59pm. Use this format please: +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 Happy voting! :teresa: (this isn't an exclusive list of eligible songs but very helpful for seeing what can constitute as a Christmas song https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chris..._United_Kingdom - note that only charted singles feature on this list)
November 29, 2024Nov 29 Author +5 Gabriella Cilmi – Warm This Winter +4 The Darkness – Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End) +3 Girls Aloud – Not Tonight Santa +2 The Killers – Don’t Shoot Me Santa +1 Kylie Minogue – Santa Baby
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +05 Glasvegas - A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss) +04 The Water Babies - Under The Tree +03 Girls Aloud - Not Tonight Santa +02 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) +01 Sugababes - New Year
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +5 Delta Goodrem - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) +4 Gabriella Cilimi - Warm This Winter +3 Geraldine - Once Upon A Christmas Song +2 Girls Aloud - Not Tonight Santa +1 S Club 7 - Perfect Christmas The 00s was probably the weakest decade for new Christmas songs for me, I certainly found more to love from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, and we had a renaissance in the 10s.

November 29, 2024Nov 29 Although 2003 was weirdly stacked as we will see in the next Christmas chart thread :o not sure what was in the water that year, after the complete dearth of anything festive in 2002.
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +5 Magnus Carlsson - Wrap Myself In Paper +4 Cheeky Girls - Have A Cheeky Christmas +3 Afroman - Deck My Balls +2 The Darkness - Christmas Time +1 Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +5 - YVA - Laukiu Kaledu +4 - Hot Pantz - Give U One 4 Christmas +3 - Fast Food Rockers - I Love Christmas +2 - Cheeky Girls - Have A Cheeky Christmas +1 - Bo' Selecta, Davina McCall and Patsy Kensit - I Got You Babe Nd4Lec1XYzo
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +5 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells Ring) +4 Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter +3 Kate Winslet - What If +2 Faith Hill - Where Are You Christmas +1 Britney Spears - My Only Wish (This Year) 'Never Had A Dream Come True' would be on here if it was somehow counted as a Christmas song but it's not. 'Perfect Christmas' however is and would be just outside mine (originally a +1 pointer for me). Also Tweenies one would get a nomination for me too :kink:
November 29, 2024Nov 29 Although 2003 was weirdly stacked as we will see in the next Christmas chart thread :o not sure what was in the water that year, after the complete dearth of anything festive in 2002. There was a lot of talk about the lack of new Xmas songs in the preceding few years so maybe concentrated the minds!
November 29, 2024Nov 29 +5 George Michael - December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas) +4 the Waterbabies - Under the Tree +3 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bell End) +2 Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds +1 The Wombats - Is it Christmas? Just missing are Mew and The Killers Great Big Sled & Don’t Shoot Me Santa! The George Michael one is one of my favourite Xmas songs these days. Edited November 30, 2024Nov 30 by Steve201
November 30, 2024Nov 30 Yeah the 09 George one and 'A Great Big Sled' are also decent as far as 00's Christmas songs go.
November 30, 2024Nov 30 +5 The Idols - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 4 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End) 3 Kylie - Santa Baby 2 Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds 1 Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
December 1, 2024Dec 1 +5 Sugababes - New Year +4 The Killers - Great Big Sled +3 George Michael - December Song +2 Pet Shop Boys - It Doesn’t Often Snow at Christmas +1 Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa
December 1, 2024Dec 1 Author Can I vote for only one? +5 Fast Food Rockers - I Love Christmas I would strongly encourage you to think of at least 3 more but if that's an impossible task then I'll allow it. :P (just don't want it to set a precedent for single song votes. :kink:)
December 1, 2024Dec 1 +5 Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (i'm guessing this counts) +4 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End) +3 Kylie Minogue – Santa Baby +2 Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter +1 George Michael - December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas) JUST about managed to scrape together a top 5 there. I was going to include Annie Lennox but that was 2010.
December 1, 2024Dec 1 I'm just gonna echo a few essentials here to ensure they get through, can't honestly think of many classics from this era. 05; Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal 04; Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds 03; The Water Babies - Under the Tree 02; Pet Shop Boys - It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas 01; The Wombats - Is This Christmas
December 1, 2024Dec 1 +05: Britney Spears - My Only Wish (This Year) +04: Faith Hill - Where Are You Christmas? +03: The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bell Ends) +02: Kate Winslet - What If +01: Geraldine McQueen - Once Upon A Christmas Song Could easily vote for more too!
