although the christmas number one is a highly coveted prize in the united kingdom, the second-place finisher on the christmas singles chart has also earned a certain degree of popularity, especially since the 1980s. on prs for music's 2010 list of the most popular christmas songs of the year, the top three songs were all songs that had finished second on the chart: 1987's "fairytale of new york" by the pogues and kirsty maccoll (beaten by the pet shop boys' cover of "always on my mind"), 1984's "last christmas" by wham! (second to band aid's "do they know it's christmas?," which also appears on the top-10 of the prs chart), and 1994's "all i want for christmas is you", now considered a christmas standard both in the uk and in performer mariah carey's native united states but one that lost the christmas number-one to east 17's "stay another day". in some cases, the christmas number-one is a novelty song that has little shelf life after the christmas season, whereas the number-two has a greater life in recurrent rotation. an example of this was 1980's "there's no one quite like grandma" by st winifred's school choir, a song that forced "(just like) starting over" by the recently deceased john lennon out of the number-one spot (lennon returned to number-one the week after christmas).
