Here Are The UK\u2019s Top 10 Favourite Festive Hits"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no doubt in anybody\u2019s mind that the UK loves Christmas. Whether you\u2019re a festive fanatic or you\u2019d prefer if December could just speed on by, you can\u2019t deny that the country lights up when Santa Claus comes to town. From the twinkling lights to the familiar jingle of Christmas music, the festivities are everywhere at this time of year, including in your local pub. Love or hate them, Christmas songs are the lifeblood of the season and quite the topic of discussion! Everyone has their favourite, but how do your favourites line up with the rest of the UK?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here at HireJukebox, we\u2019ve pulled together a list of the UK\u2019s top 10 favourites &#8211; while the order can change, particularly with the top 3, why not include some of these in your Christmas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirejukebox.co.uk\/pub-jukebox-hire\">pub jukebox<\/a> playlist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Rockin\u2019 Around The Christmas Tree &#8211; Brenda Lee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brenda Lee - Rockin&#039; Around The Christmas Tree (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1qYz7rfgLWE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally recorded back in 1958 when Brenda Lee was just 13, Rockin\u2019 Around The Christmas Tree has become one of the UK\u2019s all-time favourite classic Christmas songs, annually hitting some of the top spots in the festive charts. With over 60 years in our hearts and ears, this is a song that we\u2019re happy to keep playing this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday &#8211; Wizzard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (Official Music Video) [HD]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IJPc7esgvsA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that Wizzard\u2019s festive hit \u2018I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday\u2019 was recorded in the height of summer with the air conditioning knocked up to full? It was thought to be a way of helping the band members feel like they were in the wintry landscape they were singing about. Despite only reaching number four when it was first released, it is another classic hit that always makes its way into our hearts each festive season. It has charted every year since its release!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Santa Tell Me &#8211; Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nlR0MkrRklg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While \u2018Santa Tell Me\u2019 isn\u2019t exactly a classic, it\u2019s certainly made its way up through the charts since it\u2019s release in 2014 to become a staple Christmas hit on modern playlists. The sweet jingle bells and Ariana Grande\u2019s plea for <em>Santa tell me if you\u2019re really there<\/em> and <em>Santa tell me if he really cares<\/em> make for a catchy and relatable song along the same kind of lines as <em>All I Want For Christmas Is You<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Step Into Christmas &#8211; Elton John<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elton John - Step Into Christmas\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IbRtGMm96F8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that Step Into Christmas, in all it\u2019s catchy glory, only actually reached number 24 when it was first released in 1973? It\u2019s since only peaked at number 11 in the official charts back in 2017, but is still one of the UK\u2019s most-played and much-loved songs for Christmas. It\u2019s also one of Elton John\u2019s most beloved hits for good reason!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. It\u2019s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas &#8211; Micheal Buble<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Bubl\u00e9 - It&#039;s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0bhsXykXxfg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know Christmas is right around the corner with Micheal Buble comes out of hibernation and treats us to his smooth, unique voice and a few classic Christmas hits. It\u2019s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas is a festive classic but certainly got its resurgence when Buble recorded his own version for his Christmas album and released the song as a single in November 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Do They Know It\u2019s Christmas &#8211; Band Aid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Band Aid - Do they know it&#039;s christmas 1984   |   HD -  Widescreen 16:9\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j3fSknbR7Y4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Band Aid and their charity-focused hit Do They Know It\u2019s Christmas is a must-have for any Christmas playlist. Band Aid was effectively a charity supergroup, offering everyone from Boy George, to George Micheal and more. It was the highest-selling song ever until 1997 when it was overtaken, but the original and the re-recordings over the years have held their own in the charts each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Merry Christmas Everyone &#8211; Shakin\u2019 Stevens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shakin&#039; Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone (Official 4K Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N-PyWfVkjZc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A catchy beat and upbeat lyrics make Merry Christmas Everyone the perfect Christmas Party anthem and we are definitely avid believers that it has well and truly earned its place as one of the top five festive hits in the UK. Shakin\u2019 Stevens definitely played his cards right with this cheesy hit too, releasing it later than initially planned in 1984 to avoid competing with Band Aid and Wham! for Christmas number one in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Fairytale Of New York &#8211; The Pogues ft. Kirsty Maccoll&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Pogues -  Fairytale Of New York (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j9jbdgZidu8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top three songs on our list are some of the closest when it comes to popularity. They are all loved nearly and dearly and Fairytale of New York is no doubt one of the best. Whether its the relentlessly sing-along-worthy tune or simply because it\u2019s a folk-esque song that gets stuck in your head, Fairytale of New York has a well-deserved place as one of the UK\u2019s top three favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Last Christmas &#8211; Wham!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wham! - Last Christmas (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E8gmARGvPlI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s certainly not the most cheerful of Christmas hits, but Wham!\u2019s last Christmas is undoubtedly one of the UK\u2019s most played and much-loved. Maybe it\u2019s the relaxing tune or maybe too many of us are suffering from broken hearts at Christmas, but Last Christmas is a must-have on your pub playlist regardless. It never actually reached a chart-topping number one at the time, competing with Band Aid for the top spot. It finally got it\u2019s time in 2021 however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. All I Want For Christmas Is You &#8211; Mariah Carey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yXQViqx6GMY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 1994 hit has truly taken the charts by storm and become a classic that charts every single year. This song is easily Mariah Carey\u2019s biggest-selling international hit, with over 16 million copies sold globally. It\u2019s catchy, it\u2019s up-beat and it gets you moving and tapping your foot even if you\u2019re putting off the Christmas cheer until the last minute!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, there you have it &#8211; the UK\u2019s top 10 Christmas hits. While this chart changes every year and everyone has their own favourites, these songs are some of the most staple choices for a solid Christmas playlist.
