Charity Christmas Songs – Terry & Aled’s Little Drummer Boy!
Leave the first response December 17, 2008 / Posted in Christmas, MusicTis the season to be jolly, decorate the tree, munch mince pies, write Christmas cards and revel in this years charity Christmas song releases! Here’s a good point for us to do a Top of The Pops style intro, so pop pickers, here’s the top charity songs for Christmas 2008! *Play TOTP theme tune*
The unlikely collaboration between Terry Wogan and Aled Jones singing Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth to raise money for BBC Children in Need came in at number 3 on Sunday! Visit the Bandaged website to find out where you can download copies of the single or buy copies in shops.
The One Show
Let’s Not Fight This Christmas by Chris Difford and the Decorations. The Decorations include the show’s presenters, Christine Bleakley, Adrian Chiles and the little dancer himself, John Sergeant. This song is available as a download-only single and Children in Need will receive a minimum of 20p for every download purchased.
Let them know on their blog whether you think it will be a hit or a miss! Unfortunately, the song did not make the Top 100 chart this week, so it is extremely unlikely to make it to number one for Christmas.
In recent years there seem to be less charity records at Christmas – could the dominance of the X Factor be to blame? Apart from Terry and Aled, there are no other charity records in the top 100. Will Christmas 2008 see the end of the charity single? Let’s hope not – buy Terry and Aled!
