Alternative Christmas number ones.

[dicko]

In November 1956, Johnnie Ray scored the second of his three UK number-one singles with "Just Walkin' in the Rain", which topped the chart for seven weeks and also became the year's Christmas number-one.

The Christmas Number One from the year you turned 10 played by the last band you listened to
Go . . .

the last band that just happened to be on the radio... or the last band i chose to listen to by playing a record or CD... or the last band i listened to live?

 

[MontyVeda]

I believe it would have been Another Brick in the Wall... but if it were to be performed by the band who got Xmas number one the following year, it'd be The St Winifred's School Choir, which would be strangely fitting.

Oops! I don't read things properly. Corrected my emails accordingly, thanks.

Another one who did not read the original post properly here!

I change my answer to “Reet Petite” but it’s now being covered by The Stranglers (because I’ve listened to some other music since my original post).

If someone asked what was the last thing you ate, how would you answer that?

Perhaps re-read the thread guidance / post #1 (tbf you are in a popular group )

Whichever makes it more amusing.
No one's actually fact checking

it'd be an easier question with fewer variables.
I have the radio on all day Sunday and can't keep track of what was played just before the current band that's playing.

It was a sausage roll, by the way

someone will be


so going by the CD in my player... it's Another Brick in the Wall pt2 by Soulwax.
currently on the radio is Captain Beefheart
last band i listened to live was a local band, Deccan Traps.

I think all three would make it even more dreary than the original
