Time once again to look at the Christmas charts every 10 years, this time beginning with 1960.
The biggest Christmas hit this year was "Little Donkey" by Nina & Frederick which made number 3. This did better than the 2 versions of the same song that had charted the previous year. It was the 2nd Top 40 hit for Nina & Frederick having charted with another Christmas record the previous year with "Mary's Boy Child".
Adam Faith had narrowly missed out on being Christmas number one in 1959 having been joint top the week before Christmas. This year he had a Christmas hit with "Lonely Pup (In A Christmas Shop)" which got to number 4.
The other 2 Christmas hits were both number 40s that I have written about in my number 40s posts earlier this year. They were "Little White Berry" by Roy Castle and "Must Be Santa" by Tommy Steele.
Christmas number one went to Cliff Richard with "I Love You". It was his first Christmas number one but it wasn't a Christmas song.
