I only found a few that tested well for me this year that you didn't already have listed:

1) The A-Strings - Sleigh Ride
2) Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas
3) Alison Moyet - The Coventry Carol
4) The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)
5) Sting - Gabriel's Message [yes, basically this entire album charted well for us]

I understand you may not want to add these due to where they originally showed up on the charts; I just wanted to let you know they did well on an all-80s internet station.

Thanks for your herculean efforts to put this list together!! Merry Christmas.

I didn't see Santa Claus is Coming To Town by The Carpenters on the list. I seem to recall that received airplay back in 1974.

In the post titled, 'OT-Wham-Last Christmas', I posted the Top 5 selling Christmas singles from my record store from 1960-1994. There was one that I didn't include because I thought it was a 'local' hit only. It would've come in at #4 knocking McCartney & Lennon down a spot. I also thought that it was being heavily played on Chicago powerhouse (in those years), WGN-AM, which I never considered Top 40 radio. On top of that, they would promote my record store as being the place to purchase it, skewing sales? It was, "Pretty Little Dolly" by Mona Abboud. I know, "WHO"?? It took her a dozen years to obtain the rights from NBC & the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson before she could start pressing up 45's in 1980. It would be interesting to hear if anyone on the board has heard of this outside of Chicago. -Bill.

Never heard of that one, Bill! But I did find it on YouTube:
