<p>Chrismas is coming soon.&nbsp;</p> <h3>1. ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ – Mariah Carey</h3> <p>Shockingly, Mariah’s undeniable Christmas classic never made it to Number One – back in 1994, it had to settle for the runner's up spot behind another instant classic, East 17’s ‘Stay Another Day’. But its since made amends by re-entering The Top 40&nbsp;every year since 2007, helping to cement Carey’s reputation as the ‘Queen of Christmas’. Will this year be the one it finally hits the top? Frankly, only a festive fool would count it out.</p> <h3>2. ‘Last Christmas’ – Wham!</h3> <p>A ballad of doomed romance, ‘Last Christmas’ features sleighbells and synths, plus some truly memorable knitwear in the video. But what really sets ‘Last Christmas’ apart is George Michael’s heart-on-sleeve delivery: his genuine heartbreak horror (‘My God! I thought you were someone to rely on’) and wistful, sexy whispers. The words ‘Merry Christmas’ never sounded so sultry.</p> <p><br></p> <h3>3. ‘White Christmas’ – Bing Crosby</h3> <p>The power of Christmas nostalgia itself is greater than real memories. Hence, all of us can hark back with Bing on this Irving Berlin-penned ’40s number to a white Christmas just like the ones we used to know, even if our true past is full of crushing disappointments (December 25, 1993 – no Hornby train set).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sources : <a href="https://www.timeout.com/london/music/the-50-best-christmas-songs">https://www.timeout.com/london/music/the-50-best-christmas-songs</a></p>
