choirs, blobby monsters, Little Jimmy Osmond and the ever-youthful Cliff Richard can all take their place in the festive musical hall of shame. But surprisingly, Christ
mas time has not all been about Mistletoe and Wine
as there are some hits which have turned into
classics.The first Christmas number one was back in 1952 when crooner A1 Mar tino sang Here In My Heart. Three years later this
country registered its first festive flavoured chart-top per as Dickie Valentine guided everybody through the Christmas Alphabet. Moving to 1982, war
bling waiter Renato and partner in rhyme Renee tor mented the entire nation
with their festive number one Save Your Love - but they are not the only guilty
ones. Eleven years later the
pink and yellow plastic Mr Blobby, with his self-titled ode, battled it out with teen heart-throbs Take That - and won. Before that we had the horrors of Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West) - a tale of das tardly doings at the dairy performed by comedian Benny Hill - which sold by the caseload in 1971. A year later Little Jimmy Osmond revealed that he was really a Long Haired Lover From Liverpool, while last year best-seller Bob The Builder asked Can We Fix It? But it has not all been bad as The Beatles have topped the charts no less than four times at Christmas.
thing goes - whether it’s because of the office party silly season, or simply due to the media fascination with the Christmas charts.” But he admits that not
many of these fesdve follies go on to be regarded as clas
sic pop tracks. Castaldo says: “Ultimate
The sons writing genius of George Michael has ensured that, with Wham partner Andrew Ridgeley (right), they will always be able to hear Last Christmas on the radio at this time of year.
Meanwhile, Wham’s Last
Christmas, Human League’s Don’t You Want Me? and Spice Girls 2 Become 1 can all be regarded as true Christmas crackers.
Gennaro Castaldo,' HMV
music expert, says: ‘There’s probably only a thin divid ing line between what makes a famous Christmas hit a cracker or a turkey.
“Songs we
might.consid-
er turkeys by acts like Mr Blobby, Renee And Renato and Rolf Harris sold amaz ingly well and have been played at countless office
parties. “We know most people
consider them to be cheesy or naff and at any other time of year they would have lit tle chance of making the number one spot. But at r'hriotiYvic it cr*pm<; thnf nnv-
ly the great Christmas songs are the ones that stand the test of time, and keep get ting played or re-released, whether it is traditional stan dards like Bing Crosby’s White Christmas or classic party songs like Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody and Wizzard’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every
Day.” These are the real crack
ers that will never be forgot ten and will consistently appear on Christmas compi lation albums for years to come. This year you can find many of the well- known festive tracks on compilation albums The Best Christmas Album in the World...Ever! and
Now...The Christmas Album, as well as some of
................ I thine Roes - whether it’s the turkeys on Chegger
the turkeys on Chegger’s Choice - The Worst Songs
On The Planet. Castaldo believes there is
a common thread running through many of the songs which have become peren nial Christmas favourites. “These songs can have a
strong emotional, retro appeal that take us back to our youth and a time when the world might have seemed a safer, happier
place for many of us. “The way they were mar
keted perhaps also reflected on more innocent times. Obviously artists and record companies were seeking Christmas chart success and it’s unlikely they would have released the songs oth
erwise.” The songs were as much
in celebration of the time of the year as in trying to achieve the kudos of a Christmas Number One sin
gle. ‘Today it is about raising
an act’s profile and selling as many albums as possible during the busiest time
of the year when as much as 40% of all music purchases are made.” He says 1973 is widely
regarded as a vintage year for Christmas records as Slade, Wizzard and Elton
. John - with Step Into Christ mas - all made bids for fes tive glory. Castaldo adds: “The
Christmas number one spot has been graced with some fantastic records and artists over the years - often with no connection with Christ mas at all.” Elvis had two Christmas
number ones with It’s Now Or Never (1960) and Return to Sender (1962). And The Beatles famous
ly recorded a consecutive hat-trick between 1963-1965 with I Want to Hold Your Hand, 1 Feel Fine and Day TripperAVe Can Work it Out. Although this feat was
matched by the Spice Girls. Me! B, Mel C, Posh Spice. Baby Spice and Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell in the late 90s, the Beatles also had a number one with Hello Goodbye in 1967. giving them a record four Christ mas number ones.” So what will top the
charts this Christmas? A lot of people are back-
inu Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman with their! duet of the Frank Sinatra song, Somethin’ Stupid, to hit the top spot, but who knows what will happen as the battle to reach the top ant avoid being a turkey gather
