BBC One - Top of the Pops, Christmas Hits

Madness, East 17, Coldplay, The Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Slade, Mud and many more.

A compilation of performances from Christmas shows, including The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Madness, Chas & Dave, Slade, Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

The Top of the Pops Christmas Hits compilation is made up of hits down the years, mostly performed on those classic episodes of Christmas Top of the Pops in a seasonal studio. We include songs that reached the charts in December, from Ian Dury and the Blockheads to Madness, East 17 and Coldplay. 

There are hits that made the enviable Christmas Number 1 spot from the likes of The Human League and Pet Shop Boys, songs that were pipped to the post and perennial Christmas classics from Slade, Mud and Frankie Goes to Hollywood to name but three.  We also have a special rediscovered rare performance opening the programme from the psychedelic era Rolling Stones from 1967 and not broadcast for over 40 years.  Christmas Top of the Pops adorns the studio in tinsel to give a perfect playlist for any festive party.
