We made the festive fifety twice this year!!! which is massive for us. The festive fifety used to picked by the man that would have loved us John Peel, his top fifety tracks of the year. He passed the buck over to our chums at dandelion radio before he passed on.
Not only did we make it twice last year we just found out this sweeeet fact:
!Sub-Two Minute tracks that made the Festive Fifty!
An update was rendered necessary because of the achievement of Lost Penguin, who emulated Half Man Half Biscuit and The Wedding Present by placing two of the twenty shortest tracks ever to grace the Festive Fifty. In fact, Lost Penguin became the first band since Half Man Half Biscuit to place two sub-two minute tracks in the same festive fifty. Here's the top thirty, which now comprises all tracks of less than two minutes duration to have appeared in the chart.
