Give It Up For Atwell AKA The Poptimists Christmas Number One Canon

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Since I have a bit of spare time today I thought a 'proper' canon would be a good idea. Then I thought, NO! let's get festive with the Christmas Number Ones canon. Halfway through it I realised that Christmas Number Ones are often, indeed usually, completely rubbish and the whole fuss over it is overrated and we've polled all the good ones a grillion times anyway. BUT it was too late to turn back - so here we go, EIGHTEEN big ticks, you might not need them all.


[Poll #889366]


Three points of order:

i. I checked in about 5 different places before being actually persuaded that "Caravan Of Love" was not Wobs No.1
ii. "Last Christmas" is the highest-selling No.2 single in Britain ever, fact fans.
iii. I left off the reissue of Bo Rhap.

That was hard. I usually hate Christmas No 1s with a passion. That said, I bought the reissue of Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody yesterday because it's a cracking song and it's not on The Slade Box (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slade-Box-Set/dp/B000HDZAOG/sr=8-1/qid=1166193729/ref=pd_ka_1/203-2921982-9935911?ie=UTF8&s=music).
