AMF Christmas Music Survey ❄ TOP CHRISTMAS SONGS, ALBUMS & ARTISTS OF ALL TIME (2024 update) - Ballots due Dec. 20

[Daniel]

It's that time of year! Continuing a (semi)-annual tradition started in 2014, it's time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of AMF's Top Christmas Songs survey with a new update! This year, we will be recognizing not only our favourite Christmas songs, but you are also able to submit a list of your favourite Christmas albums, and your favourite artists of Christmas music

RULES & GUIDELINES

Carry-over ballots
Unlike other redux surveys conducted at AMF, votes from previous years will not be completely scrapped. All of the participants from the 2014–2023 surveys will have their most recent ballot carried over to this year, unless they wish to submit a revised list in place of their old one. In that event, their new ballot will cancel out their old one(s). Any ballots from first-time participants will have their scores added on to the tally.

Favourite Songs of Christmas list requirements
You can either send me a private message, or post a reply in this topic, with your ranked list of your favourite songs that would fit in the Christmas/holiday/winter category (min. 25 songs per list, max. 100)

Favourite Albums of Christmas list requirements
You can either send me a private message, or post a reply in this topic, with your ranked list of your favourite albums that would fit in the Christmas/holiday/winter category (min. 10 albums per list, max. 50)

Favourite Artists of Christmas list requirements
You can either send me a private message, or post a reply in this topic, with your ranked list of your favourite artists of Christmas (based on their output of Christmas/holiday music only, not including their non-holiday music) (min. 10 artists per list, max. 50)

What counts as a Christmas song?
While many Christmas songs are known for being just that, there are quite an array of topics that the holiday genre covers: the birth of Jesus, Santa Claus, snow, reindeer, and winter, among other things. Some are more obviously Christmas songs than others, while there is a lot of dispute about whether or not other songs count as Christmas songs. I like to keep it fairly open to interpretation, so if you consider it a Christmas song, include it on your ballot. There is a chance someone else will, and could show up with a decent finish in the final tally. Some of the songs from the first edition received massive gains in following surveys because a lot of users said they did not realize certain songs counted, and included them on their next ballots.

Songs by specific artists, classical recordings, and unspecified artists
Since there are many songs that have been recorded by hundreds of different artists, please indicate the recording artist for each of your entries. As we did the last three surveys, for classical recordings where there may not be a definitive recorded version, composers' names will be accepted. I will also be accepting Christmas songs without specific performers, if you have a favourite carol or song, but don't necessarily have a preferred recorded version. In this case, please cite "no artist specified" or leave the artist's name blank. Unspecified versions of songs will be counted separately from versions with specified artists.

Deadline
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, December 20. My goal is to have the results posted before Christmas.

Last year's results
For those of you who may be having a hard time brainstorming some Christmas songs, here are the complete results of last year's survey, as well as a Spotify playlist below:

[Humphrey1]

We kindly ask you to please remove pauldrach's from the carry-over ballots. There is no poster of that name and he wishes to renounce said year-old ballot, the content of which he does not have any recollection of. If you refuse, every single Humphrey will be forced to submit an identical list of 25 different versions of "Frosty the Snowman".

Including the new Xiu Xiu cover I presume?

[Gillingham]

I'd better skip this, as I wouldn't be able to name 20 christmas songs by heart. Also my top 10 would be mostly filled by Low's 'Christmas' EP, which some might not even consider Christmas music. Alternatively, I could fill it with classical music. Anyway, I dislike going shopping in December, precisely because of of the omnipresent music.

Good luck to you all.

Hahaha ... As much as I enjoy listening to Christmas music around this time of year, for the other 11 months of the year, I can't stand hearing it.
Excellent choices for your top Christmas artists, by the way!

[Live in Phoenix]

Thank you, as far as Christmas music, it reminds me of how I’ve sided with the argument that Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie… It has Christmas elements, so you could make an argument for it, but if it doesn’t feel oppressive the other 11 months of the year, is it even really Christmas entertainment?

[garth]

I won't submit a proper list for this, because I can only come up with 2 songs!

1. Fairytale of New York
2. Snoopy's Christmas

Also, I noticed 'White Winter Hymnal' on that Christmas playlist. I've never associated it with Christmas myself, but I guess it fits. Just interesting how much the context your hear a song in influences your perception of it.

[Romain]

Even if I never play, because Christmas songs are not at all a thing in France. But I have to talk about the best-selling single in my country since 1946, which is quite simply a Christmas song, perhaps the only one apart from religious songs.

‘Petit papa noël’ by Tino Rossi

We kindly ask you to please remove pauldrach's from the carry-over ballots. There is no poster of that name and he wishes to renounce said year-old ballot, the content of which he does not have any recollection of. If you refuse, every single Humphrey will be forced to submit an identical list of 25 different versions of "Frosty the Snowman".

I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to inactive or banned accounts. Can you fill me in on what happened to pauldrach's account? Are you still in touch with them?

We have eaten him.

All of us!

What has this devolved to

[StevieFan13]

For the more literal-minded, all the Humphrey accounts are just Paul. Protest thing about something. I’m too autistic to deal with this. Ballot in the coming days.

My albums list is a fairly ungodly mix of classical pieces, spoken word, comedy and EPs. Please excuse the liberties taken. Where I've selected classical pieces I've tried to include my preferred recordings.
