Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

20 points to needtoknow for keeping her trap shut (if she wants them, of course)

So, secondary game:

What was no 1 for each song that was no 2?

It might help if you know the year.

And as a helpful hint, EVERY song at no 1 is definitely a Christmas song.

The wham song was 1984 and I think the number one was bandaid do they know it's Christmas

Last Christmas was kept off by Frankie goes to hollywood?

Gary glitter - was the number one Slade merry Christmas - that was 1973

Yes coffee they were both the same year . Did the band aid not get to number one then ?

But but but....

I knew Mariah hadn't been N1 (third attempt.. local breakfast radio presenter has been going on about it for a month, think he wants a Mariah visit for Xmas. His female co-presenter has been relentlessly teasing him about it too...) and it was a three-way in '84 between Band Aid, Frankie... and Wham. Didn't Wham donate the proceeds of LC to Band Aid too?

Enjoy your points shiny

It was

1. Band Aid
2. Frankie
3. Wham

Was 1. Frankie; 2. Wham then Band Aid nudged both down a spot IIRC. I was only 6 on Xmas Day 1984! (for a day )

Was showaddywaddy (sp?) Mud Lonely this Christmas ? Same era

@shinynewapple2020 I am frequently wrong . . . 😁

Oh and thank you ladies, have needed the light relief this weekend so very much (where will the banter between NtK & CSOTTS go (with Christmas Brandy flambé)?). Really, many thank you's 💝

You are so young @SimplySteveRedux

Is your birthday Boxing Day? I think you should get at least 10 points then, not a measly 9

Either Whitney Houston or Jason and Kylie's got to be Cliff Richard Mistletoe and wine - late 80s

You are so young *@SimplySteveRedux*

And I was four! How old are you?

Good luck with all you are facing, steve. We're all here when you need a distraction!

@SimplySteveRedux - so glad we have all cheered you up! The power of music, laughter, lyrics and evil banter! ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍..
... and you were definitely missed when you absented yourself for a while ❤️😘

I'm enjoying you all trying to guess.

Some are correct....

I was born in 1964 - I thought you were all born around 1970?

@shinynewapple2020

Gary glitter - was the number one Slade merry Christmas - that was 1973

This one is right.

Are you sure you were 4 in 1984 @NeedToKnow101 ?

Oh yeah loads of us were 50 this year. I really do wish I had my own spreadsheet or individual dossiers to keep track ..

@shinynewapple2020

Are you sure you were 4 in 1984 *@NeedToKnow101* ?

😂😂 no! I was 14. I got confused. I was born in 1970 🤣🤣

@shinynewapple2020

🙋‍♀️ I was. Steve is super young. Obviously shouldn't be on here after bedtime and DEFINITELY not til all homework and chores completed!

I could be wrong, but I assumed Library was a little older, because she(????) was shit hot on the 60s ones
