Which supermarket inflicted the worst music on you this year? For me it was Marks and Spencer with their never ending dirge of very old american crooners that were past it when I was a toddler (and God was a boy). All their tracks were ancient american ones, nothing else. I assume the music was dirt cheap.
Worst supermarket Christmas music.

That has to be better than hearing Slade, Wizzard and Wham! ever December in every shop, or truly dreadful 21st Century chart music the rest of the year.
I never forgot my local Tesco playing what sounded like the store manager's little boy's class singing carols back in 2012!
When I worked for Tesco we had a 3-cd autochanger with three Christmas compilation cds playing on continuous repeat. It didn't take long to figure out the sequence of sons so that at any given time you knew exactly what was coming next. The other thing of course was that a particular song which featured towards the end of one cd would invariably appear early in the track listing of the next one so you would get a certain song, then four or five songs and/or around twenty-minutes later it would come on again.

Unfortunatly my store only has 1 CD on repeat...
ANY crimbo music..... i hate it, they pipe in anything with a crimbo theme and it fails miserably to make me feel any more crimboey...
i just want to SHOP, its not a crimbo experience, its a commercial one.

Re-reading my post there, I'm usually careful to check before posting but I think I might have to get a proof-reading course for Christmas! Should of course have been sequence of songs, not sons! 
Merry Christmas to you all!
Merry Christmas to you all!
I asked for the Duty Manager in our local Tesco on Wednesday. When she came I asked why they weren't playing any Crimbo music. They usually rotate the 3 CD's from the latest Now Xmas. He said people had complained they were fed up with it. After a few minutes, when he'd gone back up to the office, it started!
