Santa must also be so fed up of the mindless tosh that we’ve seen as the UK Xmas number 1 single for the past few years. As this year we have proper music with Rage Against the Machine and their single ‘Killing In The Name’ selling 500,000 downloads and beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry’s ‘The Climb’ by 50,000 copies to clinch the top spot.
This got me thinking about my favorite Xmas no. 1 and it has to be Shakin’ Stevens “Merry Christmas Everyone” which was no. 1 in 1985.
Next question must be….what’s your favorite Xmas song? Doesn’t have to be a no. 1 just have a Xmasy theme.
I always liked Jona Lewie’s Stop The Cavalry but for some strange reason the hideous Mull of Kintyre is in my head at the moment and won’t go away.
Hey Mr LD – just gotta be Slade
My vote goes to Jethro Tull – Ring Out Solstice Bells
Mrs SP prefers Louis Armstrong – Zat You Santa Claus?
Sin again – did you know that there’s a Welsh version of the Slade classic?
Mrs LZ now that is crazy
I’m off on leave soon so I wish all my friends here a happy christmas and wicked new year
Wishing you the bestest of Christmases Sin again – see you next year!
