Fairytale of New York is currently stalling at number 53.

It wasn't so long ago it was that against Mariah Carey for which was the most popular Christmas song in the charts. It does seem the newer generation have fallen out of love with it, due to its "problematic" lyrics.

It is two days after that legendary time of the week.

As far as I can make out, there are currently 30 Christmas songs in the Top 100.

with the highest being Last Christmas by Wham! which is at Number Five.

Mariah is at Six.

However, Taylor Swift's Cruel Summer is still in the Top Ten. dontpanic

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Dec 03, 2023 4:17 pm

Cliff is not in the Top 100.

Nor is Greg Lake.

Nor are the Waitresses.

Is Father Christmas going to forget to visit them, this year? bawl

This is on my ~~Christmas list~~ post-Christmas sales list. It's a 3-CD compilation of all her solo singles in radio edit form, but as I have the vast amount of them somewhere already I don't want to pay full price for it.

Though it does include some rare-on-CD late 70s solo stuff such as from her brief disco era, including tracks from the Love Explosion album which we've done on here and I don't have anywhere!

Wonder if there was any increase in chart activity this week, what with the news.

Up to number 18.

I'm also still always surprised each time I see that Brenda Lee is still alive.
