With Christmas less than a week away and Father Christmas's sleigh bells tinkling away in the distance, Gigwise has gone all festive this week.

As well as a round-up of the Essential Christmas Hits, we've put together a collection of some of the worst festive album covers.

From William Hung's 'Hung for the Holidays' to Paul Holt's Roxy Music-esque 'Fifty Grand for Christmas', this list will make you reach for the brandy.

You'll also find covers for albums by Bordell Mammas and Sir Elton John – so check out the full countdown now and leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
