My favourite "alternative" Christmas track is:

Low - Just Like Christmas 

Give it a listen! 

Palestine Will Never Die - Lowkey

This should be Number 1. 

Over 18000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including over 5000 children.

have you all heard of leann rimes?  u.s. country singer who has a beautiful voice with songs like 'how do i live?'?  well, you need to check out mindy mccready!  the gorgeous artist in my icon pic.  she sadly took her own life in 2013, BUT had 1 of the most beautiful country singing voices i've ever heard!  her debut album '10,000 angels' is my very fave of her catalog, you all should check it out.  here are some of her best sung tracks:

1. have a nice day/https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=rQjyv4jVHvo *my personal fave!  she sings sooooo beautiful on this one!*

2. 10,000 angels/https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=6FqxJLMi134

3. you'll never know/https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=jvdfzN73kCI

4. maybe he'll notice her now/https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=jvdfzN73kCI

5. if i don't stay the night/https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=OvEKYMhskls

and congrats to taylor swift, she was just named time magazine's 'person of the year' here in america.  and is the republican party mad at her LOL!  it's hilarious seeing all these gop pundits constantly attacking her over stupid things like her encouraging her fans to register to vote.  but i gotta give her credit, she rarely responds to these pundits.  but this latest honor by time magazine has the gop base riled up...i don't see the problem though.  she's highly influential over here and that's who time magazine picked.  

hey what's up mates!  so sorry i haven't been able to chat with everyone lately.  oh, the artist in my icon pic is mindy mccready...u.s. country artist who was the exact same age as me...she sadly passed away in 2013.  she had a very beautiful voice with songs like '10,000 angels', 'you'll never know'.  @ the time of her debut album, shania twain was very big in the states, i didn't hear too much of mindy back then.  she unfortunately made bigger headlines towards the end of her life with all kinds of personal problems, even being dropped from about 2 different record labels...but she was still an amazing artist. 

i really hope this year some xmas re-entries that have to see for years

Extremely disappointing that Fairytale of New York isn't number 1 this week. I really can't understand the appeal of All I Want For Christmas Is You and Last Christmas - extremely overrated and overplayed Christmas songs in my opinion. Would love to see The Pretenders break the top 40 this year, along with Waitresses.

This week is again a copy/paste of the 40 first songs from the Top 100.

The #s 19,  21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 32, 35, 38 and 39 should be marked as (Re) Re-Entry in the Top 40 as they appear only for the first time in the Top4 this season.

I preferred much more the old chart's layout, it was more accurate than this one.

There are three Christmas songs that are absent from the Top 100 and it surprises me:
December Will Be Magic Again by Kate Bush (my all-time favourite at this time of year),
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, and
Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
I really hope Sleaford Mods are no.1 for Christmas - all sales go to Shelter charity, plus it's available on physical formats. This year has been brilliant seeing vinyl 7"s/45s return. It really helped The Beatles.

Could someone explain how come Jorja Smith is at #26 with a holiday song that is an exclusive Amazon release? Is Amazon so big in the UK that an exclusive release can chart higher than songs that get a lot of streams on every platform…? Or am I missing something

 CAN SOMEONE explain why THE HECK ​BABY SHARK is on the chart 

Whats the point of showing the peak possition when you dont know your own stats, Christmas singles by Boney M, Plastic Ono Band, Wizzard, Paul McCartney to name a few & plenty more i guess all charted higher originally when first released, doesn't anyone check your own stats ??

Why does it show Mary's Boy Child/O My Lord to have peaked at number 26? It was the Christmas number one for 4 weeks in 1978 and one of the biggest selling songs of the 1970s!!!

I hope to see Fairytale Of New York at #1 soon

With ‘I Remember Everything’ exiting the Top 40, ‘Houdini’ takes the new top spot in the rankings! 🏆

Top 40 Rankings: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d334901cbff89416f0ce8ee1fbb23f36b4588e1f6cb43fa8d42b9d31af577852.png

Would’ve loved to see Laufey get her first Top 40 hit today. She’s incredibly underrated.

Good for her on a new career peak and I’m sure she’ll have a chance to get there later in the month! 😊

Aww, shame that Darlene Love narrowly missed the Top 40. ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ has aged really well for me!

Olivia and Mitski getting another week in the region with their newest hits is amazing news. :)

Good to see ‘Fairytale Of New York’ surge into the Top 5, but a massive shame we lost Shane MacGowan last week. :/
