The Sounds of Christmas Top 100 For 2014

1/16/2015

3 Comments

 
Whew!  The number-crunching is finally done, and out of the thousands of songs we played this year, we finally have this year's top one hundred! 

Darlene Love and the Empty Pockets appear the most times (three each).  Four other artists appear two times. 

"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and "Please Come Home For Christmas" were the most popular songs, with each making three different appearances on this final chart.

So here they are - the most-requested and highest-rated songs from the Sounds of Christmas 2014!

By the way, you can click on each one and go to Amazon or the artist's website to hear at least some of the song (and then buy it if you'd like)!
