10. 143 points The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride The gorgeous Sleigh Ride makes the top 10 - a gift for Christmas indeed! DkXIJe8CaIc

11. 140 points Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone 12. 123 points Wham! - Last Christmas Two absolute classics just outside the top 10 here. Firstly the current number 1 and best Christmas song ever Last Christmas and then Shaky's 1985 Christmas number 1. E8gmARGvPlI Top 10 posted later!

13. 112 points Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You 14. 99 points Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling Just the 1 point from the 100 point mark is the beautiful Spaceman Came Travelling and SHOCKER! Mariah misses the top 10! :o GmZg7tvGN9o

15. 95 points East 17 - Stay Another Day 16. 93 points Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas Chris Rea just misses out on a top 15 placing, beaten by another is it or isn't it a Christmas song - though East 17 made a great Christmas number 1 regardless. -wNhdjoF-6M

17. 90 points Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody 18. 79 points Joni Mitchell - River Good to see the lovely River this high (and the original not the Ellie Goulding Alexa version)! Slade are up next with a 50 year old song that increasingly sounds tired to me - bored of this 'classic' tbh. ttU7eMw2Xj4

19. 78 points David Essex - A Winter's Tale 20. 77 points Frankie Goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love Into the top 20, with the mighty FGTH's classic pre Christmas number 1 and a lovely little underrated song from David Essex. Nice selection! WtdRv6GT9Zg

21. 74 points José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad 22. 68 points Darlene Love - All Alone On Christmas 23. 58 points The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick 24. 54 points Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) 25. 52 points Boney M - Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord The very 70s Boney M start off this section, there is double Darlene (the better track is higher up), some Christmas Beach Boys and the rather nice Feliz Naidad.

31. 41 points The Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 32. 40 points Cliff Richard - Saviour's Day 33. 37 points (6 votes, one 15) David Bowie and Bing Crosby - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy 34. 37 points (6 votes, one 13) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock 35. 37 points (2 votes) Tori Amos - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas A mixed bag here, with the little known Tori Amos track, the rather fab Jingle Bell Rock, the awkward and cringe (but quite endearing) Bowie and Bing, the lesser of the 2 Cliff Christmas number 1s and the is it a Christmas song or just a. Christmas number 1 Spice-tastic 2 Become 1 lCpXMy5GalI
