MARIAH Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ is the Christmas song we’d happily never hear again, according to a poll. Research of 2,000 Yuletide-celebrating adults revealed ‘Mistletoe’ by Justin Bieber and Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know it’s Christmas’ are other tracks people have grown tired of.
While ‘Stay Another Day’ by East 17, and ‘Santa Tell Me’ by Ariana Grande were also loathed. However, ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham!, Chris Rea’s ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ and ‘Fairytale of New York’ by The Pogues were the most popular songs.
However, the latter proved divisive by also featuring in the top 10 of most disliked. According to the research commission by Twix, 23 per cent listen to festive music every day during the Christmas period, 24 per cent listen every few weeks or less, with some not listening to any songs at all.
But by mid-December, 20 per cent are sick of hearing Christmas music, with 17 per cent believing you should stop hearing festive tunes altogether by the 26th. And 30 per cent said they’ve not heard a good festive song release in years. To mix up festive music this year, the confectionery brand has launched a Twixmas track featuring grime MC D Double E and Nella Rose for those frazzled by the festivities.
D Double E said: “We all have Christmas songs we love, but we’ve been listening to them for decades and they can feel a bit stale. “And it looks as though people agree with that – so we’ve looked to flip the script on festive tracks to show you lot how to do Twixmas this year, to give people something to enjoy once the big day is done and dusted.”.
