So how much do the likes of Slade, Mariah Carey and Cliff Richard get paid in royalties every December for their Xmas hits? Well, the Mail looked into it, and here's what it found out:
'Merry Christmas Everybody' by Slade: £500,000 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues: £400,000 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey: £376,000 'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby: £328,000 'Last Christmas' by Wham!: £300,000 'Wonderful Christmastime' by Paul McCartney: £260,000 'Stop the Cavalry' by Jona Lewie: £120,000 '2000 Miles' by The Pretenders: £102,000 'Mistletoe and Wine' by Cliff Richard: £100,000 'Stay Another Day' by Tony Mortimer, East 17: £97,000 Pretty sweet deal, eh?

A good Christmas song is an annual goldmine.
Sadly nobody has written a good Christmas song for year's. The 70s and 80s knocked out lots of classic Christmas songs. The last half decent one was The Darkness, and that wasn't that great, and the last one before that was Mariah Carey. Last edited by Alf; 22-12-2016 at 06:25 PM. |
