Where have they all gone? I remember when the christmas number one was a battle of xmas songs not x factor dross.

I think the last new christmas song was Mariah carey all I want for xmas?

Well the Pet Shop Boys put out a new Christmas song this year it didn't do well though. Barely scraped into the top 40!

George michael had a new Christmas song out. It was actually first released as a download last year but its still a new christmas song. And remember The darkness from 2003 as well. That was the last new Christmas song that came nearest to getting Christmas number one.

Once Upon A Christmas Song

There's a few every year, Bob Dylan's Christmas album comes to mind, love Wogan/and Aled Jones doing Silver Bells and Andrea Borcelli and Muppets doing Jingle Bells

All covers this year I believe the Julian Casablancas track is an original

The Killers have released one every year for the last 4 years

Status Quo also brought out one last year

Actually the Quo have one this year as well, a colloboration with Rolf Harris.

So why don't make the grade like they used to?


Christmas number one was a battle of christmas songs not anymore

Glasvegas have released one this year. - A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

It's quite good

The last, really, well known is probably Destiny's Child's 8 Days of Christmas or Cheeky Girls' Have a Cheeky Christmas

I reckon if Gaga wrote one for next year it'd top the charts and I reckon she could do something pretty good.

Artists release new Christmas songs every year?

bo selecta proper crimbo... darkness christmas time (dont let the bells end)... 03

does not feel like it

creme egg anyone?

Is it because new songs don't get so much TV exposure now? When I was growing up, we had the Top of the Pops Christmas Special - there's nothing like it on now.

Gabreilla Cilmi "Warm This Winter" i would say which is very recent by comparison to Mariah.

Radio 1 have been playing Julian Casablancas "I Wish It was Christmas today" a lot. I've only just realised it's a cover after googling just now. A great song none the less and one I had not heard before. I would call it a new Christmas anthem.

...apart from this year's top of the pops christmas special?

If anyone is interested. tonight channel 4 12.40 am hits and healdines of xmas number one it on for two hours
