From Wham’s Last Christmas to Leona Lewis’s One More Sleep, it’s not so much the quality of the songs that grates as the awful repetition. But some are definitely more irritating than others

A York shop’s decision to ban the usual Christmas pop hits this year in favour of a more traditional selection of carols is understandable, but will it work? Even the most sublime music would become irritating if you played it over and over again for weeks: the issue with the big Christmas hits isn’t always the songs themselves, more the way we gorge on them, like a drunk with a selection box at 9pm on Christmas Day.

At least half of those are pop classics and aren't remotely annoying so why the sneery headline?

All 20 should be the Paul McCartney one, it makes me want to stick knives in my ears

From 'Pointless lists that appear every year'.

You cannot beat Christmas Carols sung by the crooners. Frank Sinatra's Christmas songbook is a years end favourite.

_danmcevoy that DJ set you did at Shopkeepers and Sahm told you, that you couldn’t play xmas songs, so you just kept playing them. Absolutely glorious shithousery. Probably in my top 10 shifts worked

The John Lennon one is terrible

No there are worse songs 😂

They're all rubbish, I think Christmas is a bit over the top for from anytime now to the end of December is when you can hear all the crap Christmas songs

Not. Even. Close.

Radio 1 Newsbeat, sleeves pushed up, youtuber haircut, thunderous speakerphone conversation journalism.

I did not expect to see this comment when looking at Mike Oldfield's video on youtube....

if it doesn't have The Christmas Shoes, it's not even an accurate list...

Would take any Xmas song over the rubbish in the charts even that one by The Darkness

No way! Some of them are the more bearable ones. A few are bad too though.

It’s beginning to look a lot like clickbait

Alan Sugar moaned that Jeremy Corbyn might be a millionaire and everyone's pointing out the hypocrisyIn one of the more baffling attacks on Jeremy Corbyn since the election circus rolled into town, multimillionaire Alan Sugar appears annoyed that  the Labour leader may also be a millionaire. Alan sugar creates wealth and employment Pointing out the hypocrisy of Corbyn's hatred for £millionaires when Corbyn is a £millionaire himself It is daft to accuse Corbyn of hating the rich. He wants to help the poor. One way is for those with lots of £ to pay more tax so some can be redistributed. If he implements this policy & has lots of £ himself he’ll also be helping the poor. Why Sugar is whingeing I’ve no idea.
