About This Track
“Merry Xmas Everybody” is a song by the English glam rock band Slade. Written by guitarist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Chas Chandler, it was the band’s sixth number-one single in the UK. It held the UK Christmas Number One slot in December 1973, beating another Christmas-themed song, Wizzard’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday”, which reached fourth place. By mid-January it was still at number one; it stayed in the UK Singles Chart well into February 1974.
Based on melodies from discarded songs written six years before, “Merry Xmas Everybody” was Slade’s best-selling single, released at the peak of their popularity, and sold over a million copies upon its first release. It is Slade’s last number-one single, but by far their most successful. It has been released during every decade since 1973, and has been covered by numerous artists, ensuring it remains popular. In a 2007 poll, “Merry Xmas Everybody” was voted the UK’s most popular Christmas song.
