The Pogues, followed closely by Driving Home for Christmas.
The Wizard- I wish it could be Christmas every day. The fact that Roy Wood when he did it a few years back on top of the pops hasnt aged since the 80s is impressive too.
Just listening to ‘Shakin’ Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone’ again.
Fooking superb.
Noddy Holder is set to earn £800,000 this year from Slade’s festive 1973 hit, “Merry Xmas Everybody”.
The track is top of the Christmas song list when it comes to pulling in the royalties, with The Pogues in second place, set to earn £520,000 by the end of the year from “Fairytale Of New York” and Mariah Carey in third, as she is likely to make £455,000 from “All I Want For Christmas Is You” in 2013.
The cash will come from PRS royalties, which stack up through radio, television, jukebox and shop plays as well as compilation album sales, reports Prezzybox.com. See how much the Top 10 festive tracks have earned so far this year below.

Fairytale of New York is not only the best Christmas song but one of the best ever songs for me.
I like most of the rest of them except Mariah Carey and John Lewie.
what a tune…its got everything from degenerate gambling, heavy drinking, drug abuse… two paddys falling around in the gutter as New York carries on regardless…
Wizzard for me.
Not too big a fan of the pogues and propellerhead song
That justifies why I called you a horrible cunt
