We’re all far too familiar with Mariah’s warbling on ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, so much so that the song even features prominently in one of our favourite Christmas movies, Love Actually.
It’s played on the radio, and in shops and generally if you enter a night club from mid-November onwards, you’re forced to listen to it at least once at some stage throughout the course of the night.
According to PlayNetwork, Mariah’s Christmas hit has been the most over-played Christmas song since its release back in 1994. That’s 20 years at the top (or would we say bottom?!).
However, this year the tiara has been snatched from Mariah by none other than The Shins, via Paul McCartney. Their cover of ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ has somehow snuck in at first place.
Give it a listen, it’s a worthy replacement methinks!
