kirsty maccoll
the band remained stable enough to record "if i should fall from grace with god" with its christmas hit duet with kirsty maccoll "fairytale of new york". "fairytale of new york" was released as a single in 1987 and reached no. 1 in the irish charts and no. 2 in the british charts over christmas (the time of peak sales). the song has become a festive classic in the uk and ireland over the years, and was voted the best christmas song of all time three years running in 2004, 2005, and 2006 in polls by music channel vh1 uk, despite not achieving christmas number one when it was released. it was also voted as the 27th greatest song never to reach uk#1 in another vh1 poll, and also voted as the 84th greatest song of all time by bbc radio 2 listeners in the "sold on song" top 100 poll. in 2007 the record was briefly censored by the bbc because of the word "faggot" being deemed potentially offensive to gay people. following protests from listeners, including the mother of kirsty maccoll, the censorship was lifted.
