Revealed: The ‘WORST chart toppers’ at Christmas… is your favorite on the checklist?

Brits have voted for Mr Blobby and his self-titled hit as the worst chart topper at Christmas song over the last 50 years.

The song claimed the top spot back in 1993 when it was released on November 22 and peaked at number one on December 11.

Novelty tracks dominated the top ten spot with the Bob the Builder theme song, voiced by Neil Morrisey, coming in at second place after receiving a quarter of the vote.

One artist who dominated a good chunk of the list was Ladbaby and their pastry-themed fundraising parodies including ‘I love Sausage Rolls’ (23 percent), Don’t Stop Me Eatin’ (22 percent), ‘Sausage Rolls For Everyone’ (22 percent) ‘Food Aid’ (21 percent) and ‘We Built This City (…on Sausage Rolls)’ (19 percent).

Around 2,000 Brits took part in the poll conducted by banking app Thinkmoney, which also featured songs from well-loved artists, including The Spice Girls, Sir Cliff Richard, and Rage Against the Machine, in the top 15.

The banking app worked alongside Marc Burrows, music journalist and author of ‘The Story of the Christmas #1’ on the study.

He said: ‘These results prove something that might surprise people, especially when we’re discussing Christmas hits: the British public generally has pretty good taste in music!

‘We tend to associate Christmas Number One with the real musical crimes, like Mr Blobby and St Winnifred’s School Choir, but while those hits might be memorable, it’s for all the wrong reasons… almost no-one actually wants to listen to them. When was the last time you heard Mr Blobby on the radio?

Girl power and pop icons, The Spice girls scrapped in on the list at 12th place for ‘Goodbye’ and 14th for ‘2 become 1’

‘People were happy to support the LadBaby singles for five years in a row because they raised money for a good cause, but it’s encouraging to see that nobody actually liked them. 

‘They’re dad-jokes for charity, and it’s fine to let them go. All of these songs have served their purpose, and it turns out that we’re happy to never hear them ever again.’

At the bottom of the list is Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which peaked in both 1975 and 1991 and had only 6 percent of the vote.

Slightly further up is Shakin’ Stevens 1985 hit ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ (8 percent) and Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ (8 percent) from 1984.

Vix Leyton, consumer expert at thinkmoney, said: ‘A lot of Christmas songs are hardwired into us by nostalgia and habit, built on the foundations of the one Christmas album every family had pre-streaming.

‘In typically British fashion, whilst we might complain about overplay fatigue, we will not relinquish them, even the ones we love to hate.

‘And with streaming bringing ghosts of Christmas past back into the charts, it really lays bare where the festive favourites are – Ladbaby need not be waiting by the front door for a cheque from Spotify.

‘Christmas music has seen something of a revival in contemporary pop over the last decade, with Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson and Sabrina Carpenter joining the canon without reaching the top spot; whilst novelty songs, charity efforts and campaigns for Christmas number one will likely continue, it remains to be seen if any new Festive offering will overcome our loyalty to the classics and take top spot.’

Recently, on the opposite side of the coin, Kylie Minogue nabbed the top spot in the festive charts with her song ‘XMAS’ over Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’.

Meanwhile, Brits have also had their say on the Whamageddon phenomenon, which is a game where players attempt not to hear the original version of ‘Last Christmas’ from December 1 until Christmas Eve.

Just over 1 in 10 (11%) want to abolish the practice because they’re concerned it will lead to fewer radio plays.
