It may have recently made history as the most streamed Christmas song, hitting over 2 billion listens on Spotify. But it seems what many Brits want for Christmas is to never hear Mariah Carey's festive hit again. All I Want For Christmas Is You, first released in 1994, has come out top in a poll of the Christmas songs Brits are most sick of hearing.
Justin Bieber's Mistletoe and Band Aid's 'Do They Know it's Christmas' are other tracks people have grown tired of. Meanwhile East 17's Stay Another Day and Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande were also loathed. Last Christmas by Wham!, Chris Rea's Driving Home for Christmas and Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl were the most popular songs.
However, the latter proved divisive by also featuring in the top 10 of most disliked. According to the research commissioned by Twix, 23% of us listen to festive music every day during the Christmas period -but by mid-December, 20% of people are sick of hearing Christmas music and 17% say you should stop hearing festive tunes altogether by Boxing Day.
The confectionery brand has now launched a 'Twixmas' song, It's Twixmas Time, featuring grime MC D Double E and presenter Nella Rose for those bored 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.".
