25. THE WEDDING PRESENT - "NO CHRISTMAS"

 

http://991.com/newGallery/Wedding-Present-No-Christmas---12-11822.jpg

 

Entered chart/reached No.25 w/e 19/12/92

 

Weeks on chart : 1

 

This was the last of their monthly singles in 1992, all of which made the Top 30.

 

As the title might suggest, "No Christmas" wasn't a particularly festive number, though the B-side was their rendition of Elton John's "Step Into Christmas", so maybe it should have been a double A-side.

 

No Christmas

 

Step Into Christmas

 

 

hello neil :)

 

im not familar with this track....

It's not particularly memorable I have to admit. The B-side is better :)

 

Other festive No.25s :

 

Brenda Lee - "Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day" (1964)

 

Carpenters - "Merry Christmas Darling" (1990)

 

There are a couple more but they're post-year 2000 so I won't mention them here :D

Well I'm guessing if it was part of a monthly singles scheme by the wedding present..im guessing that it wouldnt have been that memorable in 1992 - i guess unlike wham, pogues or elton it would have got one play on the top 40 and thats about it never to be heard again (apart from by fans in a boxset situation)..just think they released 12 montly singles that all reached the top 30 thanks to their fans base - just think if someone like the view were to do something like that the chart positions for the year would read #46, #78 #127 #178 #145 #166 #145 #127 #167 #209 #217 #N/C - not even the cure could reach the 75 with all their singles this year...
