From 9pm Concrete will turned in to a pop grotto of Christmas cheer for the Love Machine Xmas Party, and you can find out all the details here. If you’re not signed up to our mailer (why not?) you’ll have missed our exclusive Xmas Megamix. This is a shame for you, but because we’re not total Grinches, we’ve compiled this list of tunes that you can expect to hear if you come down to jingle all the way with us tonight.
1. Mariah Carey - ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’
OBVIOUSLY.
2. Britney Spears - ‘My Only Wish (This Year)’
It’s the Princess of Pop’s 30th birthday today. We may or may not play this frothy little number 30 times in celebration.
3. S Club 7 - Perfect Christmas
Perfectly seasonal.
4. Jackson 5 - ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’
Is there a better version of this song than the Jackson 5 one? Survey says NO.
5. Wham! - Last Christmas
For the lovers.
6. Lady Gaga - Christmas Tree
Festive filth. Let’s falalalala lalalala.
7. Bo Selecta - Proper Crimbo
We needed a novelty tune. It was this or ‘Cheeky Holiday’.
8. Brenda Lee - ‘Rockin Around The Christmas Tree’
Why do we always dance to this like the cardboard cut outs in Home Alone?
9. The Pogues - ‘Fairytale Of New York’ feat. Kirsty MacColl
Who doesn’t shout “you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot!” louder than all the other lyrics?
10. Elton John - ‘Step Into Christmas’
The admission’s free (well, £4).
11. Wizzard - ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’
Amen.
12. Slade - ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’
The old songs are the best. Everyone knows that - not just grannies.
13. The Waitresses - ‘Christmas Wrapping’
We’ll probably play the Spice Girls version too.
14. Girls Aloud - ‘Christmas Round At Ours’
Just superb.
15. Kylie Minogue - ‘Santa Baby’
Without the horribly cheesy video.
Of course there’ll be the usual banging pop hits thrown in amongst the tinselly goodness and more fun than you can even imagine right now. Meet you under the mistletoe you lovely bunch!
Snowman? Check
Fairy lights? Check
‘Sexy’ santa costume? Check
Deep’n’crisp’n’even snow? Check
Chimney? Implied
Yonder star? Check
We’re only a reindeer short of a full house, basically.
Apparently the album will include four new tracks. Will any of them be as good as ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You?’ Of course not, but we’re getting prematurely excited about the Love Machine Christmas Special all the same.
