From Wham, to Mariah Carey to East 17, whether you enjoy the festive season or not, there’s a Christmas hit for everyone.
At a time when many settle down to enjoy their turkey dinner or watch a festive special, some of music’s biggest stars welcome a much-needed royalities boost to their bank balances, in the form of Christmas tracks that are replayed year after year.
It’s such a lucrative genre, that the Christmas number one is its own spot in the annual charts, with many artists gunning to receive the coveted honour, and a spot in the musical history.
It’s not surprise that the highest-grossing Christmas track of all time is a classic one, with Bing Crosby’s White Christmas earning the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single of all time.
In fact, some of the most famous Christmas songs never even made it to number one, and despite their just-short placement, have still earned cult music status.Â
