Yep, it used to be record sales not what's on your play list. I have 3,500 tunes on my Spotify playlist and not one of them is a Christmas tune, so at this time of year thousands add Xmas tunes and they become no.1, hence why Britains No.1 tunes nowadays are nonsense due to the digital age, jeez we had that Ladbaby rubbish for a few years.

Another vote for Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas.
Bohemian Rhapsody kept it from the top spot back in the day.

But other than that, what’s your favourite Christmas song? I love a bit of Stop The Cavalry, which interestingly wasn’t intended to be a Christmas song. Does that mean I’m cheating? Doesn’t matter it’s my question and I can answer as I see fit. Merry Christmas Hibbys[emoji172][emoji318]

At the risk of repeating myself here's my shower-sung Fairytale Alternative.......

It was New Year’s Day babe
Across at Tynie
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Glory Hibees one
I turned my face away
And dreamed a win for him

Then Jimmy scored the first
Came in at seven to nil
Oh what a feeling
That year for me and him
A happy New Year’s Day
We love you Hibees
Was there a better time
When all our dreams came true

They were handsome
Played pretty
Kings of our City
When the team finished playing
We howled out for more
The terrace was swinging,
All the Hibbies were singing
We pissed on the Jambos
Then danced through the night

The boys of the E’nbra Hibees choir
Were singing "Glory be"
And the bells were ringing out
On New Year’s Day.

Personally I find Fairytale of New York an absolute dirge.
