It time we had a fun number 1 for Christmas and it's for charity too.

They made it.
The race for Christmas no1 certainly isn’t what it used to be.

Does anybody care about the charts or Christmas No1 any more? Genuine question.

Oh good, I was wondering if it was just me that felt that way.

Or singles at all. The last time I bought a "song", I think I was 13.

Utterly irrelevant

I thought downloading meant that people were buying more individual songs rather than albums. But I guess I'm showing my age, it's all streaming now isn't it? And isn't that what's essentially broken the chart system? I wonder if even 13 year olds care about it any more.

We built this city on sausage rolls?

That's not half as good a pun as my aged-13 favourite, ac/dc It's A Long Way To The Shop If You Want A Sausage Roll.

Look it's a bit of fun for charity so why not. About time we had something other than Xfactor rigging.
Times have changed a lot since Al Martino for sure and charts may not be what they use to be and the sales you need now are less for sure.
But in the end not everyone can claim the christmas number one so good luck to them.
In our house Christmas No1 means only one thing Mud and 1974 kind of nice to know your family was part of it.

Only heard of one because their concert was bombed.
Frankly who cares what’s number 1 at Christmas?

Disappointed this didn't make it:

(Was it here that someone posted that?)

Well thanks a lot. That’s ruined that song for me

I’m not sure it’s a big thing now - i know we are mostly old farts here so our knowledge of these things is minuscule but my 12 and 15 year old children aren’t interested in the charts either.

When I was their age it was big news.

50 years since Lily The Pink was Christmas no1, those were the days

Funny you should mention Those Were the Days because that was No.1 50 years ago, but not Christmas.

I have no idea what it is, not idea who/what ladbaby is, not clicking your link happy to be ignorant on this one, as to whether I care whose No1 you guessed it, Nope.
