Christmas Number One singles...

Found this on youtube and it's an interesting carousel of all Christmas number one songs from 1952 - present.

The Beatles, Sir Cliff, The Spice Girl's and Band-aid all had 3 Xmas hits.

Queen appear twice with Bohemian Rhapsody (presumably the second time on Freddie Mercury's death)

I knew most of the songs in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Those beyond 2000 i only knew Robbie Williams and Rage against the Machine -the others I think are likely to be X-factor winners which I haven't heard.

Worth spending the time to listen to and remember your favourites...:)

It seems we were largely spared specifically Christmassy no 1s before about 1970. Knew things had gone downhill since then.

I'm with you on that Cashy though I did have a soft spot for Moon River at the time, and the Beatles...

Bob the builder and other such songs are pretty pathetic - though I personally love :

Benny Hill's "Ernie"

Classic commedy at it's bets - sad to think how he ended his life...

Christmas hasn't been the same since Cliff's last number one.

I have just heard on the radio that Sir Cliff's 2012 calendar is outselling all others.

Just heard it for the first time, what a dreary load of old tat!

Still, it guarantees one pensioner a decent Christmas bonus, I suppose.
