Shift My Booty

Hello all!


It's Day 4 of Blogmas - and today I'm tallying up my top 25 Christmas Songs!

Christmas Music is one of the many things that makes christmas am I right? (Yes, I am).

Over my 21 years I've listened to a lot of different types of music and christmas is up there with one of my favourite types of music!
I've given all the classics a listen, as well as the songs that you may not of thought of!
So here we go, here is my top 25 Christmas Songs!

25

At number 25 is The Jackson 5 with Frosty the Snowman!
A motown twist to a classic song is a fab addition to the christmas line up!

24

 At number 24 is the lovely Kylie Minogue with Santa Baby! This is a great hit, but it's not my favourite... however it does deserve a spot in the top 25!

23

At 23 is Mr Elton John with Step Into Christmas! An upbeat fun track which is great to get the mood for christmas going!

22

At 22 is Coldplay with Christmas Lights! - A very chilled out christmas song I think, perfect for the relaxing festive evening!

21

At 21 we see Boney M with Mary's Boy Child, a fun, wacky and upbeat song which is just a fab edition to the christmas line up!

20

At 20 I think is the very underated 'I'll be home for Christmas' by the one and only Frank Sinatra! It's smooth, slow and perfect for a cosy night in!


19

19 sees "A spaceman came travelling" by Chris De Burgh - very different to your average christmas song I believe! but different is always good! but all the same incredibly merry and cheerful!

18

Now who doesn't love Elvis?! Blue Christmas is fab! and with Elvis' smooth voice, it'sa  lovely, cool and collected addition to my line line up!

 

17

At 17 is Band Aid 20 (Not the original Band Aid! Spoiler - that's a bit later!) - but with a mix of some fab artists such as Busted (WOO!), Sugababes (You must remember them surely?!), Robbie Williams, Dido and even Daniel Bedingfield! (Gotta Get Thru This guy if you can't remember him, also Natasha Bedingfields bro...) - but this came out in 2004 when I personally admit I think music was at peak. (Should I be ashamed? I love cheesy music haha!).

16

2011's John Lewis advert saw the cover of 'The Power of Love' - originally by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, covered beautifully by Gabrielle Aplin, the fact it was featured on the iconic John Lewis Christmas advert is good enough to get it a spot on this countdown!

15





Ok, sorry another song that featured on another John Lewis advert, but this is the cutest christmas advert ever and it makes me cry everytime, and Lily Allen beautifully covers Keane's original 'Somewhere only we know' - so deserves a spot in the top 15 at least!

14

At 14 - For me it's Stop the Cavalry, a great reminder to all the soldiers all over the world who may or may not get to spend christmas with their other half's or families whilst serving and protecting our country! Respect to all! xo

13

Ok, if you haven't seen this film as a child (or at all!!) then what?! why? 'Walking in the air' - Aled Jones is the fab soundtrack for this short film and it's great, gives me all them childhood christmas feels ha.

12

At 12 is a quarter of the Beatles and his wife Yoko Ono with Happy Xmas (War is Over).
A lovely reflective song sure to get spirits high and remembering a great musician (R.I.P John Lennon!)

11

Next is John Lennon's next quarter of the Beatles - Paul McCartney! Such a great christmas song, so upbeat and the video is set in a pub, what more could you want? Plus McCartney overall is just great and hilarious... (If you disagree please refer to above GIF.)

10

IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Famous Noddy Holder line from this song is an all round please at christmas!

9

 

 I wish it could be christmas everyday! (well in all honesty not really) but still what a great song!

 8

At 8 is the original (and the best!) Band Aid, such a great song for such a great cause! Again, another song that if you haven't heard it, you haven't lived! - Without a doubt one of the best christmas songs!

7

Last Christmas by Wham flies in at 7 for me, this is the perfect song for remembering that boy/girl that you gave your all to last christmas... and then vanished (story of my life... except not just at christmas hahaha! - anyway...) but still, a classic either way!

6

The classic 'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby has to be up in my top 10! It's a lovely festive tune with a warm fuzzy feeling!

5

Michael Buble is without a doubt one smooth talker... and singer! His christmas albums are highly rated amongst my friends and family, I'd even go as far to say it could be a crime if a few Buble christmas songs weren't played!

4

Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin Steven's is a classic - of course its in my top 10!

 
3

Number 3 is Driving home for christmas by Chris Rea - I understand the GIF is of Waynes World and is no way related to this song, but it literally describes my feeling of driving home from my last shift before christmas or when I came home for christmas from uni! So many great feelings and memories!

2

Of course at number 2 is All I want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey, such a lovely and festive song, with a fab music video to go with it!

And finally at number 1...

Fairytale of New York!

My favourite christmas song ever! - full of laughter, humour and heartbreak! And it tells a story, what's not to love?

That's my top 25 christmas songs, what are your favourites? I'd love to hear!

Until Blogmas Day 5!
