Wow - thanks for the kind words - fingers crossed you can hear me on a station soon. You can hear some of my other radio work and music documentaries by clicking on the middle link in my sig. And go for it with the CDs, feels awesome to know it'l be heard by others - what is your work?

That's very kind of you, thanks! I've presented on some stations here and there, just finished an MA in radio production so fingers crossed 2011 will bring me somewhere!

What browser do you use? I use Chrome so it may be different for others. It's the 'Download the MP3' link, or if you visit the blog there's another link you can try. Or maybe if you have Windows Media Player you can use 'Open URL', and paste the link of the MP3: http://traffic.libsyn.com/eamezey/Christma...les_-_2000s.mp3

Not sure Steve, it appears to be working my end - what's happening with yours? Normally just clicking the link should appear in the same or different window as a stream.

Final part now available - the 2000's DOWNLOAD THE MP3 VISIT THE BLOG

My pop bars only have Matt slightly ahead of Rihanna, I'm hoping mine are being slow.

Thanks man - liking your blog too :)

Not bad from TT who were as low as #27 on iTunes this week. I guess their Strictly performance helped

This song isn't that bad to just listen to it and not take too seriously - but I cannot stand the video - tis awful.

Greg James is so far proving that the chart show CAN play all of the songs in the Top 40 without faffing about so much and missing songs out. SOOO much better. Though now I've written this he'll prob skip the next one.

Part 4: 1990's is now available :) DOWNLOAD THE MP3 VISIT THE BLOG "Welcome to Part Four of the history of Christmas Chart Battles. For this edition we shall travel back to the 1990's. Although there may have been a lesser amount of festive toppers, there were still some classic moments. Featuring the likes of multi-coloured blobs, girl power, a king of pop, boyband galore and more merry Cliff-mas."

Cheers dude - 1990's up in a sec. :)

Really glad to see Fireflies win :) Would have stood no chance if it was still on ITV

Part 3: The 1980's now available :) CLICK HERE FOR THE DIRECT MP3 CLICK HERE FOR THE BLOG "Welcome to Part Three of our Christmas Chart Battle journey. This time we shall travel back to the 1980's, possibly the most eclectic mix of festive number ones. Including the likes of grandma-loving choirs, Elvis tributes, charity records, 50's singers, large Italians, one hit wonders and more - it was a crazy decade." Tom :)

Great list of artists! All you need is Gary Numan and you're set. Sadly only three of those feature in the next installment!

Many thanks guys - 80's will be posted tomorrow :)

Part 2 now available - The 1970's: CLICK HERE FOR THE BLOG CLICK HERE FOR DIRECT MP3 "Welcome to Part 2 and the Golden Age of the Christmas charts - the 1970's. Featuring a load of glam rock, novelty guilty pleasures, festive favourites and more. A list of artists including Slade, Queen, Wings, Wizzard, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Boney M and ... erm ... Benny Hill were involved in the race over the decade which saw the battles lift off and become an institution."

Cheers man. :)

Glad to hear about MJ already being #14 - considering he's only just got as high as that on iTunes, hopefully he may get a Top 10 by Sunday.

Annoyed to see Israel's 'Over the Rainbow' suddenly deleted. It was #39 earlier but has now vanished completely. There's a single version down at like 171. Question - when a track is for some reason deleted off iTunes it's still counted for the chart for the amount up to that point right?

I'm glad to see MJ steadily rise ever since Sunday. Every time I've checked iTunes he has climbed - if he can achieve a Top 20 by Sunday I'll be pleased with that :)

That's the plan! Funnily enough my final project was about the 'chart-fan' and the difference between the chart show on Radio 1 of old compared to now - I'll have to post the documentary on here some time.

Thanks guys, muchly appreciated :) It is indeed, my MA was in Radio Production - so this was just something fun to make over the festive period to keep my brain going - though not as good as it could be as I've lost the uni's access to a proper studio!

This is literally nothing whatsoever about the chart - it's just 5 minutes of self promotion for Reggie - I reckon at least 75% of people listening don't give a crap about how Reggie's bed floats.

Has he just missed out another one? Mark Goodier has just felt a shiver.
