    Coming top of the poll, just ahead of John Lennon's 'Happy Xmas (The War Is Over) is The Pogues' classic 'Fairytale Of New York'; coming in third is the Beach Boys rendition of Little St. Nick. These are the results in full determined by votes out of ten.

    Pogues' 1987 track 'Fairytale of New York' was recently named as the most played Christmas song of the 21st century.

    The track has beat the likes of Wham's Last Christmas, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You, Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody and Wizzard's I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday.

    'Fairytale Of New York' features vocals from the late singer Kirsty MacColl, who was killed when she was struck by a boat while swimming in Mexico in 2000.
