Is Chappell Roan really 2024's Queen of pop with Sabrina Carpenter around? :unsure:

 

Lol right, mad respect to Chappell she had a hell of a year but I dont know how you call her queen of pop in 2024 when sabrina blocked her from #1 at every turn, broke records, and had a higher consumed album despite only having 1/3rd of the time available

If you added good luck babe to the album probably she’d be ahead of Sabrina

Yes, Let's pray Paul is skipped if he is still to come. :teresa:

There's something that I find a bit unsavoury about 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

 

i agree, especially looking at what is going on in the world currently, i find it hard to listren to 'war is over' whilst russia still invades ukraine and isnotreal is still committing a genocide in palestine

Yes, Let's pray Paul is skipped if he is still to come. :teresa:

I hope they play it.

Biography

 

Eccentric pop genius Ulysses Adrian "Roy" Wood developed the Electric Light Orchestra out of the Move, a truly great British band in an era of great British bands. However, because of a rift with Jeff Lynne, Wood left ELO after the debut No Answer and created Wizzard, a bizarre octet who debuted at a 1972 Wembley Rock 'n' Roll Festival and then captured the airwaves with "Ball Park Incident." Wizzard landed two chart-toppers overseas, "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers." Chaotic but always melodic, Wood built a unique wall of sound around these and other dandies like "Rock and Roll Winter" and perennial winner "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day." Wizzard even jabbed the ascending ELO with "Bend Over Beethoven." In the center of this insanity, Wood sported multi-colored beard and mane, added a star to his forehead, and covered his face (perhaps inspiring fan Paul Stanley) with warpaint, sprinkles, or innumerable other oddities. Wizzard seemed to only maintain success with singles however, and the Introducing Eddie and the Falcons LP, a tribute to early rock icons like Del Shannon, Gene Vincent, and Cliff Richard, proved to be Wizzard's final work. Manager Don Arden enjoyed stadium success in the U.S., but Wizzard folded when management decided not to increase financing. Wood kept bassist Rick Price and saxophonist Mike Burney for the Wizzo Band, whose jazz-funk wafted beyond commercial confines for a lone effort, Super Active Wizzo. Wizzo expired in 1978, Wood continuing his concurrent solo career and basically dropping out of sight, reappearing periodically to perform with disciples Cheap Trick. - Spotify

Oh yeah, love this Wizzard banger. :D
Hot take this is one of my least enjoyable christmas songs... Much prefer Slade's (and the lesser known T. Rex one) when it comes to glam rock Christmas songs. At least they're playing a short edit
Looks like KSI is grabbing himself another top 40 hit after Christmas then.

 

Or now :lol:

 

he's already in the top 40 :P :kink:

 

In my head I meant top 10 but for some reason I typed top 40 :lol:

this is another one on the list of 'older christmas songs that have not stood the test of time' alongside wonderful christmastime, war is over, band aid and step into christmas imo

 

 

Yessss!!!! Was hoping for either this or 'Step Into Christmas' to be played today

 

:cheer: When the snowman brings the snow :cheer:
