With 38% of the votes, Brits just can’t get enough of the camp classic and will be gearing up to perform the legendary Village People dance moves at parties up and down the country in the run up to Christmas. And almost 30 years since it hit the Christmas top spot, St. Winifred’s Choir’s first and only single, There’s No-one Quite Like Grandma, is still driving 34% of the nation mad as it is voted the worst Christmas party track of all time.

The Pogue’s legendary hit, Fairytale in New York, has been voted the best song to ensure your party ends on a high (38%), while Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You is our number one song to kiss to under the mistletoe (46%).
