Discovered in a Wassail Bowl - A Pros Christmas Spotify Playlist

[tinturtle]

I've created a Spotify playlist containing all of the Christmas and otherwise seasonal songs that reached the top 10 on the UK charts between 1975 (Bodie and Doyle are paired) and 1984 (ten years later).

It wasn't entirely easy to tell which songs charted because of the time of year, but I did my best. Let me know if you see that I left anything out. I've included the Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood even though the band says it was not intended as a Christmas song, since I know people treat it as one.

ETA: Also, I forgot to say that there were two hits that would have been part of the list but were unavailable on Spotify: Renta Santa (1975) and Bionic Santa (1976) both by Chris Hill. They are more short musical sketches than songs.

Even if I am not on Spotify, thank you for the work to put the list together.
Do you have the list in textform, screenshot or anything like this ?
And yes, The Power Of Love is related to Christmas for me, too.

Good idea. I will try to make something in the morning.

Fun idea — thank you! I'm just about to cook my Christmas dinner, and this is perfect for playing now (though it's not playing in the proper order, since I cancelled my paid subscription and apparently that is one of my punishments! I'm working out what to use instead entirely though, so nyah nyah to Sp@tify...)! In the meantime though — cool playlist! *g*

The order is chronological, which may not be optimal for listing anyway.
