The Buzz Christmas Song World Cup – Group E – Buzz.ie

Unsurprisingly, it’s our favourite time of year!

As part of our #ChristmasBuzz celebrations, the elves on the Buzz writing team have put their 32 favourite songs from the yuletide season into a World Cup-style tournament.

They’ve been split into eight groups of four, with the top two from each progressing into the last 16!

Simple as that!

Group D was won by All I Want For Christmas Is You, with 38% of the vote, and Driving Home For Christmas, with 35% of the vote.

War Is Over missed out with 26% of the vote while My Only Wish was the least successful song so far, with 1%!

All I Want for Christmas Is You, with 38% of the vote, and Driving Home for Christmas, with 35%, win Group D of the #BuzzChristmasSongWorldCup Group D!

We’re now on to Group E and it’s a bit of a group of death.

Merry Christmas Everyone – Shakin’ Stevens

Shakin’ Stevens’ classic will get even the biggest Grinches into the Christmas spirit.

Try to listen to it and not sing along, we dare you!

Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley

Written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson, this one was most famously performed by Elvis Presley.

It’s not a typical Christmas song but still a classic.

Fairytale Of New York – The Pogues

Fairytale Of New York is regarded by many as the greatest Christmas song of all time.

It isn’t Christmas until you’re hearing this at least twice a day!

It’s been in the news lately after Eoghan McDermott suggested censoring the song’s use of the word ‘faggot’.

This provoked a serious debate with most people furious at the idea of censoring art.

RTÉ eventually confirmed they wouldn’t be censoring the song while Shane MacGowan issued a statement on the matter.

Last Christmas – Wham!

Another classic, good luck voting!

Because of the difficult choice in this group, we’re going to give you two days to vote.

The poll is now open!

The #BuzzChristmasSongWorldCup Group E is a real group of death!
