British Public Tallies Up Favorite Christmas Singles, Can't Account For Taste

slade.jpgA recent MSN Music poll revealed the UK's most popular Christmas number one singles, a list that includes songs by Elvis, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson—although none of them made the top five.



No. 1: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade

Also voted No. 1 on the "Best Christmas Sideburns" list.

No. 2: "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid

OK, fair enough.

No. 3: "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen

Nothing says Christmas like rock opera and white satin.

No. 4: "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin' Stevens

Holy shit, Tim Matheson put out a Christmas song!

No. 5: "Stay Another Day" by East 17

Don't tell Andy Samberg about this video, or he'll be tempted to cross the picket line and write a mediocre SNL Digital Short about it.

Wham's "Last Christmas" only reached No. 2 in 1984, but it will always hold the top spot in my heart.
