They don’t make ‘em like they used to do they?
Right from a kiddie there’s been a familiar soundtrack to Christmas .. Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Slade, Wizzard etc etc all stand the test of time in terms of longevity (even if you’re not a fan of them).
I can’t think of a huge amount of more modern ‘classics’ .. songs that will endure the test of time.
I was thinking Shakin’ Stevens Merry Christmas Everyone would be the latest, but that’s from 1985, 36 years ago (bloody hell that makes me feel old  ) just one year younger than Wham and Last Christmas.
But how could I forget Mariah Carey? All I want for Christmas is you was a mid 90s hit.
But have there been any since then that will still be played every Christmas in 20 years time? You tell me you sex-crazed funksters!  |

"One More Sleep by Leona Lewis
Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) by the Darkness"
Good shouts! I really dislike the Darkness but you’re right, it’s standing the test of time.
One More Sleep is a great song, very worthy

"Fairytale of New York is a great song. It has turned into a Xmas song surprisingly as is about a d*unk abusive husband who beats his wife "
although in trouble last year due to un-PC lyrics. I wonder if AirPlay will be affected this Christmas? |

Ooh a few I don’t know, I’m going to have to have a listen!
I was also thinking Kelly Clarkson Underneath the Tree is a modern banger too. Unless it’s a cover? |

"Would a cover count?
If it’s a good one I guess so? Bing Crosby / Nat King Cole etc did loads of covers and we look upon those as classics x "
So Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews - Baby It's Cold Outside.
Love it.
Santa Baby - Kylie Minogue
And because I love it unashamedly and those little bells feel like Christmas
Ariana Grande's Santa Tell Me.
Thanks Op, you've inspired me to listen to those on Spotify! |

I was just thinking this today. All the good Xmas songs are from years ago. |

good choices! How could I forget Tom and Cerys in particular, it’s a great cover! Even if the words to that song do sound a bit rap-ey

"The Darkness as mentioned before.
The Killers - A Great Big Sled
Sia - Santa's Coming For Us "
Good call with Sia - I wasn't a fan when I first heard it but it is so catchy I do find myself singing it for a day or two after I hear it now! |

"2010 George Michael- December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)
https://youtu.be/l-xzyD00_fI
Not the most uplifting of songs, but I like it."
Another one to listen to tomorrow. Thanks Nanna!
By the way Banta knows and sees *everything* and you know what? We both know you’re *Good Nanna* really  |

"Gabriella Cilmi. Warm this winter"
that was my “I’ll bump the thread back to the top in the morning” song! 
Agreed, it’s a banger and I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned until now |

I actually liked last years song by Mabel. Its called loneliest time of year.
Yes not very cheery but very relatable to us singletons who have time to reflect.
Sadly it never got much air play last year. |

Scouting for girls - Christmas in the air
Not sure how popular it actually is, but it’s been around for 5 years and I’ll still be listening to it in 20 years if that counts ? Lol x |

Some good overnight suggestions thanks all
And…. Adam_Tina your Chrimbo song is legendary! It’s as much a part of my Christmas now as mince pies, mistletoe and getting over-familiar with the Office Secretary at the works Christmas party! Good work! |

For me it has to be Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby / David Bowie …. Love it.
I did note that Abba have a Christmasssy track on their new album … I suspect this may well become a Christmas classic - because it’s ABBA!!
