The Shins’ ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ trumps ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’

‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ is not the most played Christmas song anymore

The Shins’ cover of Paul McCartney’s Christmas classic, ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ is now the most played Christmas song.

 

For 20 years, Mariah Carey’s ‘All I want For Christmas Is You’ was the most played song. Now, according to PlayNetwork, The Shins’ have knocked Carey from the top spot with their cover of the McCartney’s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’.

 

Other most played Christmas songs include Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’ and Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’. McCartney’s original version of ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ only reached No.17 in PlayNetwork’s list of most played songs and Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Underneath the Tree’ is the only recent original song to make the list.

 

Julia Cummings, Director of Music Services, PlayNetwork said, “The songs themselves transcend demographics, which is why we see the same titles more than once but performed by different artists."

 

See what other holiday songs earned a spot on PlayNetwork's list below:

 

1) The Shins "Wonderful Christmastime"

2) Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

3) Christina Aguilera "Christmas Time"

4) Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping"

Click Here: http://bit.ly/1YeKU4Z and download the file with the figures of the cover of the album. It's just cut and hang in the tree - then, post the photo with the hashtag ‪#‎aheadfullofchristmas‬

I recorded a version of my favorite Christmas song yesterday. It's a beautiful song I think. Maybe it'll help people get into the holiday spirit :P

You know what...I´ve practically been working 80% of the time for weeks and being in a sunny place on top of it all I was wondering when I was ever gonna feel some Christmas spirit. And enters your post with one of my absolutely favourite Christmas songs! It has such a sacredness and joy to it it never fails to put me right in the magic of Christmas, so thank you so much! :)

 

P.s. Do you have a favourite rendition of this song? I have a few but one of my favourites is Lavigne + Chantal, love the duet :)

Aw thanks! Glad I could help! Haha I know what it's like. I live in California, and sometimes it just doesn't feel so Christmassy. Although this year it's been colder at least, so it's felt a bit better. I'm so glad someone else loves this song. Sacredness and joy; I think that's a perfect way of describing it. I actually really, really love a version that Lisa Hannigan does. Not sure if you're familiar with her. I think she's an amazing singer though. Much deeper voice than mine, which I'm a little jealous of, haha. I've never heard the Lavigne + Chantal one. Will be looking it up! Thanks :)

Haha, well, not sure where you are. In northern California it's been colder anyway :P Love Polar Express btw! I wish I got ABC Family just for this time of year and all the great holiday movies they play nonstop. Seeing it on the guide and not being able to watch is a small torture, haha.

I'm not in the USA but I think I'll watch it on the weekend, I haven't seen it in years!

 

Hey cool! I am away from home so away from my Blu-ray movie library too. And today I was thinking oh I´d love to see the Polar Express: that´d put me even deeper in the Christmas mood, oh I miss my blu-ray...and then boom its on the telly! haha I love when that happens :)

Ah yes Northern would be colder I am sure..here I think its still warm, not as it was but surely twice as warm as in Denmark haha

I am in Orange County :) And awww I know about not being able to watch a movie when you really wanna watch it...see my post above: I had the opposite experience this time hehe I can imagine you have all sorts of pay per view though in the US right? Like rentals and whatnot.

 

I actually dont have a TV back home (only a TV screen for my home movies), but I am enjoying the christmas movies on ABC Family yes :)

Oh and about Polar Express I always loved the song from it :)

Great to read that! Christmas time is on your side, nothing like a good Christmas movie to get in the Christmas mood! I've heard a lot of carols but I'm missing the movies.

 

And I just realized that this weekend we start the Christmas break in Mexico! I need a good rest to enjoy my family!

I love the movie a Christmas Carol and Jack Frost which I haven't seen in recent years. I think it's a little bit sad but I love the story.

I love that track, I love that movie, I love everything about it.
