Oh good, the European Super League is trying to sneak back in through the cat flap, thinking nobody would notice if they changed their name to the Unity League
I'd say this is the most annoying thing I've heard in the last ten minutes, but I just had my Whamageddon streak broken for another year thanks to the BBC News...

Avoiding hearing last Christmas by wham. Tbf making it to 17th December is a good effort. It seems to be on everywhere the last few weeks.
I see.
I would never deny myself the pleasure of hearing that classic.
Unless a financial incentive was involved
I have escaped it.
You might wanna get some money on Tesco getting
me during my final pre-Christmas shop (although to
be kind to them their store "loops" do always seem
to have "Christmas wrapping" included) .
I managed a three-year streak one time
Admittedly two of those years involved the entire country being in lockdown so there was far less chance of hearing it in a shop or at a Christmas party, but still...
Yeah the supermarkets love the Christmas songs, all part of their ploy to get us to spend even more than we will.

I can't get over "Merry Xmas Everybody" being apparently replaced as the official anthem of Christmas by "Fairytale of New York".
Wot no Wombles? Also Greg Lake (though Prokofiev should get a writing credit).
The 70s was a great decade for Christmas songs.
The Slade and Wizzard songs are for me the greatest.
Those who were not too much older than me as kids,
later explained it to me (when I was much older) along the
following lines :
The "three day week" came only a few days after that Christmas,
For the economic "basket case" that the UK was,
the Wizzard song evoked a feeling of being free of the strife,
while the Slade song (chorus) evoked a feeling that a
future where that strife was gone was close at hand.
100% agree.
I also got "Whammed" on the 2nd this year by a thoughtless teenager playing his car stereo too loud upon coming home from work....
It should be UK law that every decade the UK music
industry must produce at least two new songs that the
kids/teens of that time will hold forever in their hearts.
As a 70s kid I feel blessed that there were so many.
I still don't think you'd top those two. Both are simply a work of genius...
1. Just as many decades in the UK had 1-2 generation
defining genres in rock/pop, so IMHO should it be for
Christmas songs.
2. Regarding your comment :
Did your granny ever tell you, that the old ones are the best ...
