I've edited the poll, so that it reflects the "68 voters" data, but also including votes made since the poll went back to 0. I hope it's ok that I've done this! I think it's about as accurate as it can possibly be.

Thanks for restoring it Jay! Those results from 4.30pm look to match the ones I saw - only those on 21+ were the top votes I posted, I knew there were some on 20 but couldn't remember which, and for the selected few I posted below 20 I was only slightly out on Coldplay (I said 14 rather than 11) so that aside it's probably correct as can be now!

Thanks Jay, much appreciated! So after 77 votes, here's how a more accurate top 10 looks!

FONY is good but personally I think it would only just scrape my top 5 Christmas songs!

My top 10 of the list (in alphabetical order)

 

Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me

Boney M. - Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord

Elton John - Step Into Christmas

Justin Bieber - Mistletoe

Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Voted these 10

 

Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of Year

Boney M. - Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord

Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas

Dean Martin - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas

Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad

Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York

The Pretenders - 2000 Miles

I'd say my top 10 is:

 

1. Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

2. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas

3. Boney M - Mary's Boy Child

4. Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

5. Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree

6. Shaking Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

7. Wham - Last Christmas

8. Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine

9. Jackson 5 - Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

10. Elton John - Step Into Christmas

 

 

11. Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas

 

 

EDIT: I forgot Merry Christmas everyone, it came on in the car today and I was like "oh this is a FAVE" so edited pushing Band Aid out of the top 10. If Cher and Britney's were included both Jackson 5 and Elton would be pushed out of the top 10 too.
