Eleven of this year's best Christmas songs

It's less than a week to Christmas Day - so here's a quick round-up of this year's new Christmas songs and festive cover versions. Presented in a big long list with next to no commentary because I'm drunk on eggnog.

1) Indina Menzel and Michael Buble - Baby It's Cold Outside
The video is almost too cute to bear.




2) Nothing Left To Do (Let's Make This Christmas Blue) - The Both




3) Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me

Stick around for the blooper reel at the end of this video.




4) Nashville Cast - Blue Christmas



5) Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
A supercut of every Darlene Love performance for David Letterman since 1986.




6) Dum Dum Girls - On Christmas
Shades of St Ettiene here.




7) Bombay Bicycle Club - In The Bleak Midwinter




8) Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett - Winter Wonderland
Don't let this fool you into buying their album.



9) Sam Smith - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
For God's sake, won't someone give him a hug?




10) Cornershop - Let The Good Times Roll



11) Little Mix - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Technically awful, but oddly compelling.

And that's it from me for now... I'm taking a break for my first Christmas as a Dad (which is as exciting as it sounds).

I'll be back with my annual Top 10 lists sometime between now and the new year.

Cornershop make record

It's no Brimful of Asha, but the new Cornershop record is a decent rip-off of Primal Scream ripping off Joe Cocker covering T-Rex.

Cornershop - Who Fingered Rock and Roll?


Is there any song that can't be improved by a trio of wailing divas screeching "yeah, yeah, yeaaaah" over the chorus? (Hint: No).
