Oh, I just heared the Tony Christie xmas single "Merry Christmas Everybody" (a la Slade), big band rendidion. There's a reason why it's not on the list above.

where is that plank cliff richard?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 28 November 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

Nizlopi?

Choir Boys depending who wins twat-factor.

Nizlopi? Is that an Italian Alps ski resort? near the Swiss border?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 28 November 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

Nizlopic = acoustic folk-hop from Leamington Spa. Their single is called "JCB" apparently. Run for cover! is my advice.

(oops got their name wrong)

i heard that on radio 5 live - it was total shambolic lo-fi crap - unlikely to break the top 40 nevermind number 1 - what a joke

The Nizlopic video is getting hammered on The Box; it seems to be on everytime I pass through. What a load of shite.

Aren't they releasing the Sammy Davies Junior song from the Guinness advert too? I heard that was in the running...

The Pogues? What, "Fairytale" again?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Yeah released 18th exactly 5 years after Kirsty died. Idea is to rasie the profile of the nature of her death and get an investigation.

― MitchellStirling (MitchellStirling), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

Ah, for some reason I thought it had been re-released fairly recently. No, last time it was a hit was 1991.

Is the Sugababes' "Ugly" coming out too early for it to even have Xmas odds?

― brittle-lemon (brittle-lemon), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

That Nizlopi track makes me want to go out and set fire to every guitar shop in a 50 mile radius.

*sigh*

Why can't the American charts get taken over every holiday season by things like Keedie and England Cricket Team?

We're so boring...

― Myke Weiskopf (Myke Weiskopf), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

That JCB song is horrible.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

How far down the list do you go before you find something you're OK with being the Xmas number one?

Niz, OK
Pogues, nice but it won;t happen.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

I'm still hoping for a late surge towards getting the Chazza Church song to #1.

― Merryweather (scarlet), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 11:34 (twenty years ago)

When did 'Christmas number 1' become such a big deal? Or has it always been this way? I think I blame Cliff.
