British Public Tallies Up Favorite Christmas Singles, Can’t Account For Taste
A recent MSN Music poll revealed the UK’s most popular Christmas number one singles, a list that includes songs by Elvis, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson–although none of them made the top five.
No. 1: “Merry Xmas Everybody” by Slade
Also voted No. 1 on the “Best Christmas Sideburns” list.
No. 2: “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid
OK, fair enough.
No. 3: “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen
Nothing says Christmas like rock opera and white satin.
No. 4: “Merry Christmas Everyone” by Shakin’ Stevens
Holy shit, Tim Matheson put out a Christmas song!
No. 5: “Stay Another Day” by East 17
Don’t tell Andy Samberg about this video, or he’ll be tempted to cross the picket line and write a mediocre SNL Digital Short about it.
Wham’s “Last Christmas” only reached No. 2 in 1984, but it will always hold the top spot in my heart.
