Can't really understand all the loathing that appears to go on actually.
I could understand people simply not liking his music but some people seem to get ever so personal about it.

21 million singles sold in the UK to date
so over the years lots of people
I suspect for the most part these days it is predominantly female, over the age of 40 but if you ever attended a concert you might be surprised that there is an age span from 10 to 70 literally and males do go too.

So 33 chart entries in 31 different years in the official christmas chart as designated by Guinness I hasten to add for chart afficianados.
And you will note hardly a sleigh bell or jingle bell in sight among all those songs - yet the cheesy christmas tag will no doubt remain forever now.
cheers

When Wooden Heart debuts inside the Top Ten this Sunday the chart statisticians will be declaring a tie on Top Ten hits with Cliff - 66:66
Will not be long - 7 days - before Elvis takes the lead
A travesty but these are the new rules apparently
Shame
