Few festive bangers resonate quite like this one. They may not have had Maria's range (they kept "All I Want For Christmas" off the number 1 spot that year), but East 17's '90s Yuletide anthem "Stay Another Day" remains one of the most replayable songs of the season.

It's easy to forget that East 17 were once the bad boys of pop, but they really were the band parents prayed their kids weren't listening to. They were even discussed in the House of Commons after Brian Harvey told an interviewer drugs were "cool". (Drugs are for mugs, Brian, everyone knows that.)

Despite the popular belief that "Stay Another Day" is a plea to a lover who wants to end a relationship, songwriter Tony Mortimer has since explained the song is actually about his own grief, written just a few years after his brother Ollie took his own life. He played it for the label who immediately saw Christmas Number 1 potential, slapped some sleigh bells on it, and the rest is history.

Anyway, here they are in 1994, sending the song straight to number one and filling us with Christmas spirit along the way.
