Ready to jingle all the way? It's that magical time of year when Christmas tunes fill the air, and we all have our go-to holiday anthems! But have you ever wondered which songs reign supreme? Well, let's dive into the festive music scene.
In a 2021 poll by The Journal, the Irish public cast their votes, and the results were clear. 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues was crowned the champion, securing the top spot by a significant margin.
