Quiz: how much can you remember about Christmas No 1s?

The Christmas No 1 single used to be one of the music calendar’s highlights of the year, and something the whole music retail industry focused on, with the winning record ubiquitous throughout the festive season.

But a survey by StubHub has recently revealed that 95% of the British public cannot name a single Christmas No 1 from this decade. Can you believe that? We couldn’t, and we were sure that Guardian readers would have their finger on the pulse of popular culture, and would prove this wrong. So have a crack at our quiz, on Christmas No 1s through the years.

Remember, there are no prizes, it’s just for fun. Let us know in the comments how brilliantly you’ve got on.
