Santa Claus has well and truly come to town. But also a number of legitimate new entries a-sneakin' in before the year-end curtain falls.

On checking the chart history of "Last Christmas", I was really surprised that it hasn't been in since 1986! I had the impression that it was wheeled out more or less every year for at least minor charting.

¤ Elvis + Christmas: I'm just gonna close my eyes and NOT TICK these, sorry.
¤ Cascada: Not really up for decent-enough bosh now, I notice. NO TICK.
¤ Arctic Monkeys: Not all that bad or anything, but nah. NO TICK. Haha, "save it for the morning after" wtf.
¤ Enemy: Voice gets annoying pretty quick, but I like the backing a lot -- that echoey, 60s (/c86) retrofetish sound. TICK.
¤ Gelderblom: No need, really. NO TICK.
¤ Holiday: Great beat I think, have some trouble with vocals (on youtube). But TICK.
¤ Foo Fighters: Haha yes the video. But I also quite like the song in a way I never seem to do with the FFs. Surprising myself with a TICK.
