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.

    What? Where am I? Is it Christmas already? No, just the scrobbler working in its own inimitable manner......... 'tis only February 2012. And, if those pesky Mayans were right, Christmas wont arrive this year, as their calendar ended mid December. Uh oh !!!
