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.

Surprising how few are actually "Christamassy" songs...

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.
