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.

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...

@Cleoriff 

The song was GOODBYE by Spice Girls [see my post above] but I don`t know the date 

As for the last grid, that is here 

https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-Topic/O2-Community-Forum-2021-Christmas-Singles-Mega-Word-Grid-Par...

but songs found after that, aren`t crossed off
