That said last year saw the Gwen Stefani song with Blake Shelton. They are all pretty ubiquitous now. All are getting regular play now. I'd add Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande as well. But it's obviously in the eye of the beholder. If someone wasn't listening to commercial radio stations during the last decade when they were released then they're not going to be "recognisable straight away" to that person however popular they might be in the wider world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted December 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2020 Christmas is a load of ol' religious bollex as far as I'm concerned (burn him!, burn the heretic!), but this [if we really must] sort of works, and it's just ever so slightly weary in lyrical tone.

From Underneath the tree by Kelly Clarkson to Christmas Downer by Departure Lounge to Just Like Christmas by Low. Oh jeez Low. Tomorrow I work from home and flood this thread. As a fellow aficionado, a few to check which you may or may not know (I don't think they've come up in this thread) but are good additions for any eight-hour Christmas day playlist: Christmastime - Smashing Pumpkins The She & Him Christmas album, but particularly Christmas Day The Ghost Of Christmas - Manic Street Preachers The Christmas Song - The Raveonettes Christmas Is Coming Soon - Blitzen Trapper Christmas is Cancelled - The Long Blondes Christmas In The Trenches - John McCutcheon This Ain't New Jersey - Smith & Burrows The last three in particular end up on very hard rotation in my house through December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) There is a lot of nonsense on this thread. Charley J Repson. Give me a break. There hasn't been a good Christmas song released since 1987 when the Daddy of Christmas song's was released.

It's high time U2 and ABBA were challanged for a New Year's song. That's what I would aim for if I was a songwriter aiming for a pension pot. Way too much competition for Christmas song's. Pretty much any half decent New Years song is going to make it. How about this for a boxing day song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Here are 2 New Year songs. Both Taylor Swift. Albeit the second is tenuous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2020 Not my favourite song but a pleasant tune, nonetheless. Also for good measure, the same soundtrack has an even more lovely instrumental for New Year’s Eve*. *unless I’ve misunderstood and it’s actually about his fondness of Simon Nye, creator of Men Behaving Badly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
