Christmas number one

[DisturbedPervert]

Yeah, but I've never heard of a specific one for Christmas being important. 

[CountDeMoney]

What the hell is a Christmas number one?

No idea.

You don't have a singles chart any more? Did the American Top 40 die with Casey Kasem?

Thank God, yes.
Actually, I think the last time Billboard charts really mattered to anybody was, like, 1986.

"And with a bullet to the top spot, it's Madonna's 'Like A Prayer'!"

In short, nobody gives a rat fuck.

They build up to it all year and it stays there for two weeks as there isn't a new one over the holiday. The publicity around it leads to more sales.

For your delectation, all the past number ones: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/music/newsid_2580000/2580729.stm
Could have sworn I remember The Police's ""De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"" being there one year

They do (we all so do). We also have the common courtesy to use the words "top" or "chart" when naming them.

Christmas number one, ffs I thought this would be about pipi.

Casey Kasem isn't dead.

I'm sure they do it all the time, but once when driving home from Alaska I found that the Siruis 80s channel was doing a replay of the entirety of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from 1982 or some such.  It was a hoot.

I have avoided being exposed to "Last Christmas" so far this year.

Actually, there's a syndicated, once-a-week radio nostalgia program that just replays one of Kasem's Top 40 shows from that week in a random year.  Last week it was the Top 40 for the 2nd week in December of 1976 IIRC, this week it'll be the Top 40 for the 3rd week in December of some other year.  It can be pretty trippy if you turn it on while he's introducing a song;  before he gives the title, you think, "Hey, Casey's doing the Top 40 again" but then it's kind of a let-down when you realize that it's just a re-run.

I hate Killing in the Name; then again, Rage Against the Machine is down there with Jane's Addiction in my book: stereotypical angsty college kid voice whining about some "poignant" issue.
