Welcome back everyone - Christmas Eve and bored of wrapping presents? Well, here's chance for the Forum Festive Frivolities to continue - come join the fun!
Hidden in a straight line across, up, down or diagonally (backwards or forwards too!) in the grid below are 30 singles titles. Each has been a #1 hit in the UK in the week in which Christmas Day fell, from the 1950s to last year,
The rules are simple:
- Find a title in the grid, give me the full title as printed in the grid, the start and end co-ordinates of the title and the title's group/singer/band name for a point;
- For a bonus, give me the year (or years - a bonus point per year) that the title by that artist was at the top in the Christmas Week chart;
- First person to tell me the year or years gets the bonus.
Then give someone else a chance, and repeat.
I'll be around to update the grid and keep track of the scores at intervals during the day. I will compile the winners towards the end of day.
NB: There are a few tricky ones in there, where a song or variant of a song was released by different artists, or where a release was a double A-side, watch out!
PS. Feel free to use any tool at your disposal to check date(s) and/or artist/s once you have found a title in the grid.
Over to you, happy hunting: @Cleoriff @Bambino @blissgirl @BobM @Cairdeas1 @gmarkj @J9el @jonsie @lewys-gp @madasaf1sh @MAKAZAGA @Martin-O2 @Mi-Amigo @MI5 @Pennywren @Projectionist @RafaC @RunrigForever @sheepdog @TallTrees and anyone else who fancies a go!

@pgn Something I need found but not scored off?
Oops, did I miss one, @BobM?
Unsurprising, and I haven't been at the punch yet honest!
Damn and I just got that one as it wasn't crossed off. Pfffttt. Lol
Well, pending the Stewards' enquiry, I have Perfect down for the Tag Team Trio - @BobM, any advance on your query above?
And we have 3 left - one in the noughties, just, and a late 90s and an early 50s.
A one-word, a two-word and a four-word...
