As it's 12 days until the voting for 2025 opens I thought I'd remind everyone of the past 12 winners of what some people are calling, "that thing that that guy does on twitter and bluesky but he doesn't do it on twitter any more"
The 2013 Festive 50 no. 1.

Yes, it'll be top ten tracks released this year but I'll leave the interpretation of released this year up to you lot. If enough of you are happy with thinking something was released this year to get it into the top 50 I'm not going to start a fight ;)

Reminder that all of the Festive 50 shows going back to 2013 are available on MixCloud for another couple of weeks at least. Then it'll just revert back to the last few years.
See you in November.
Cheer mate, thanks for that. Hope you and the chopfam have an excellent Christmas.

You can listen to it here…
I took out all the 6 to 10 votes and the chart is much the same. Top 10 virtually identical. Rest is just reshuffled.
These are the 8 tracks who would have made it and the 8 tracks that would have been replaced.
Cheers mate.
