Amazon UK's most-streamed Christmas tracks of 2015

Online retailer Amazon.co.uk has announced its most-streamed Christmas track of the year in the UK on Prime Music. 

Mariah Carey’s iconic 'All I Want for Christmas is You', which peaked at No.2 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, has been named as the most-streamed festive song of 2015 in the UK on the digital service. 'Fairytale Of New York' by The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl came in second place and Boney M.’s 1978 hit 'Mary’s Boy Child – Oh My Lord' came third.

Chris Rea’s 'Driving Home For Christmas' takes fourth place, just ahead of Wham’s 'Last Christmas' (No.5) and Elton John’s 'Step Into Christmas' (No.6). 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' by Wizzard is at No.7 on the list and it's followed by fellow glam-rockers Slade with 'Merry Xmas Everybody' at No.8. 

'Once In Royal David’s City' by Choir of King’s College, Cambridge is at No.9 and 'It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas' by Perry Como rounds off the top ten.

Amazon also announced that 2009’s 'Killing in the Name' by Rage Against The Machine remains the best-selling Christmas No.1 of all time on the Amazon Digital Music store, ahead of 'Something I Need' by last year’s X-Factor winner Ben Haenow, and 'Wherever You Are' by The Military Wives Choir.
