The Story of the Christmas No. 1

Opis
Marc Burrows explores the peculiarly British cultural phenomenon of the Christmas single's chart. The festive top spot was something that, prior to 1973, wasn't particularly important but has since become a cornerstone of the December news cycle and, for years, an annual cultural moment ... that may have reached the end of its life.
He traces the origins of the concept, through the Beatles and the-years-when-it-wasn't-really-a-thing, the Glam rock boom, Band Aid, novelty records, the X-Factor years and the awful Sausage Roll charity records of the 2020s, supported by interviews with figures involved in some of the most iconic hits and notable chart battles of the past half century and obsessive, in-depth research. He explores the sometimes fascinating and sometimes weird and unlikely stories behind some of the most beloved (and some of the most utterly loathed) songs in British musical history.
The Story of the Christmas No. 1 is more than just a nostalgic music book. It subtly explores pop culture and social history, examining our relationship with Christmas, how our national identity is reflected in the music we listen to together, and how the music industry has changed. It also reveals how the Christmas No. 1 reflects the current social reality of today and how technology and culture have reshaped the way music is consumed.
