‘What Are We Gonna Get For ‘er Indoors’ by Dennis Waterman and George Cole – reached #21 in December 1983.
Face it – the British number ones at Christmas are a joke: Teletubbies in 1997; boy-bands, girl-bands, Cliff Richard, and charity records. At least in the 70s it was done in a tongue in cheek fashion!
But the Christmas number one can, sometimes, beat the hype; consider ‘Stan’ by Eminem – knocked off the top spot for Xmas 2000 by Bob the Builder (‘Can We Fix It’).
For me it has to be that awful old cliché – Slade with ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’: a timeless (almost!), out of tune, screamed classic!

The only one I bought was Band Aid on 84. I’ve long stopped giving a toss about the singles chart.

The Pogues and Kirsty McCall, Fairytale of New York. Sorry chaps it is THE ONLY Christmas nomber one, all else are pale immitations and Cliff Richard ought to be shot.:D

I love that Mad World song and hope that will be number one but I really think that Ozzy and Kelly are gonna do it

Hmmmmm…I think it’s a three horse race between The Darkness, Pap (sorry I mean Pop) Idol, and Gary Jules’ version of Mad World, from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Me, I already have Mad World on an album, sent Mr Ashley to HMV to get The Darkness yesterday, and think the Pop Idol CD would make a great drinks coaster…:p
The Darkness for No1! 🙂

You don’t think much of Ozzy and his daughters chances of retaining the top spot then? (Not that I’ve heard it – that I know of…)

Yes – notice I haven’t given an example…
But somebody has to admit to buying Mr Blobby! Noel Edmonds can’t have bought the lot, can he?
Huh! Do they know its Christmas time at all?;)
