Christmas is descending upon us at an alarming rate, but the avalanche of novelty nonsense is nearly behind us, fortunately! Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 17th December 1995 - eleven new entries this week, including from Corona, Queen, Levellers, L.V. and... somebody who may or may not be Frank Bruno.

'Tis the season for gaiety, goodwill to all men and novelty festive tat in the UK Singles Chart! Welcome to ChartLife, where Juliet and Ed will be counting down the Top 40 from the week of 10th December 1995 in its entirety, and DEAR LORD we've got some humdingers for you! New entries from Mr Blobby (yes, he made another song), the cast of Coronation St., the Childliners and Michael Barrymore (yes, really).

Slightly more credible attempts at the Xmas Number One come from Pearl Jam, Luther Vandross & Janet Jackson, the Outhere Brothers, Juliet's best mate Suggs and the much-vaunted return of The Beatles.

You can check out (most of) the Top 40 via our Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Fq3sv4NAkRMqRsSLkmoUx?si=dEpgTcJKSheLOtDj3IpQXA
