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.

ok maybe not 'Stop'

but could you imagine 'Stay Another Day' being released at any other time of year. June for example? i think not.

wait a minute, isn't the version of stay another day that we hear now a REMIX of the original? ie i'm SURE there was a versh without the tubular bells on...
