The UK’s top 10 songs for driving home at Christmas includes a controversial hit

As Christmas Day inches closer, many of us are set to be driving home to spend the holidays with our families. As it’s the only time of the year to listen to festive bangers, a drive home is the perfect opportunity to listen to classic hits or even an alternative Christmas song or two.
While we can all guess that Chris Rea’s Driving Home for Christmas is probably the best festive driving tune, Brits have decided the top 10 tunes for driving home for the holidays. In a survey from Motorway, it was revealed that Wham!, Michael Buble, and Mariah Carey, all scraped their way into the top 10 driving hits.
It was also revealed that one slightly controversial tune made it’s way into the top five, following a bit of a hullabaloo earlier this year…. Obviously Chris Rea’s hit Driving Home For Christmas has snagged the top slot in the survey. With Rea’s raspy vocals and the gentle beat of the -nostalgic tune, there is nothing quite like this bop on a snowy (or most likely rainy) drive home back to the countryside (or the suburbs or city if you don’t live in a Richard Curtis film).
Last Christmas remains one of the British public’s most loved festive tunes so it’s probably not surprising that it’s managed to snag a top spot in this survey. The 80s pop synth tune is like a warm hug and the perfect cheesy romantic tune to sing out of tune while you struggle to find your exit on the M25.
