Default Xmas Hit Song Royalties

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?
