Perhaps I should have left the Pogues out like you did, that way I could have fitted Jona Lewis or Culture Club into my 20 (which I’m regretting leaving out now 😆)!

December 27, 2025Dec 27 Author 68th: 0 pointsI Still Believe - Ronnie Hilton (1954)Chart run: 27/11/1954 17-9-10-{3}-3-3-6-4-5-4-11-12-19-20->14Christmas number one: Let's Have Another Party - Winifred AtwellChristmas number two: Santo Natale - David WhitfieldWe start with the first of 5 songs to not get any points. The first of 18 top 40 hits for Yorkshireman Ronnie Hilton, "I Still Believe" spent 3 weeks at number 3, the last of those being on the Christmas chart. It's perfectly listenable but quite boring as most 50s ballads are to me, those "dodododododo" backing vocals are pretty amusing though! Edited December 27, 2025Dec 27 by gasman449
