There are slim pickings for the 90s Christmas song wise, so it’s good to be flexible. Also, you worry it’ll run away with it against Mariah? :P

New Year is Christmas? :P 2 Become 1 is generally accepted as a semi Christmas song due to its sound and feel, and given there are less 90s Christmas classics than other decades, its in.

I knew I wasn’t the only one!

I love this :( I am ashamed!

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 29th July and 5th August 1995 The Lightning Seeds - Perfect Chart entry this week: 18 Peak: 18 gL1UdDX0wYE Another great song from the Lightning Seeds, though not as perfect as some of their songs! Tricky vs The Gravediggaz - The Hell EP Chart entry this week: 12 Peak: 12 E3R_3h6zQEs Lead song is the wonderful Hell Is Around The Corner, which samples the same song as Portishead's Glory Box i.e. Ikes Rap II y Isaac Hayes. Brilliant slice of Trip Hop from the album Maxinquaye.

Thanks Gezza, Merry Christmas!

As per the top post, I am overseeing this one and I am allowing it. Also, you voted for Dian Carroll and that is much more borderline of a Christmas song than 2 Become 1.

Ah ok. I quite like this one!

Why is that old BTS song at number 33?

I think Air is pushing it John, could you substitute please?

5pts Wham - Last Christmas 4pts The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping 3pts Queen - Thank God It’s Christmas 2pts Shakin Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone 1pt Jona Lewie - Stop The Calvary

5pts Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You 4pts Darlene Love - All Alone On Christmas 3pts Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day 2pts Bon Jovi - Please Come Home For Christmas 1pt Tom Jones & Carys Matthews - Baby, It’s Cold Outside Yep, slim pickings but some goodies!

Here is the 1990 thread of the decades and the top 10 songs from each poll will qualify for a final to decide our favourite Christmas song from the 20th Century. All you have to do is pick your favourite five Christmas songs (singles or album tracks) that were released for the first time from 1990 to 1999 and put them in order with your favourite at the top of your list. It will be 5 points for 1st down to 1 point for fifth. I know the 1990s is not the most prolific of the decades for Christmas songs so I will allow so levity as to what counts as a Christmas song. I will let you know if you need to pick a different songs if something is vetoed. So your list will be either: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Or 5pts 4pts 3pts 2pts 1pt The voting deadline is Sunday 17th December.

Just a reminder this closes today.
