"Light a candle, and let it burn. Never let hope disappear, it's dark now, but it will get brighter again". Do you recognize the lines from Triad's Christmas song "Light a Candle"? Not so surprising, since they belong to the most played Christmas song almost every year.
The music rights organization Stim has compiled statistics on the most played Swedish Christmas songs in December 2023. "Light a Candle" is thus number one, followed by Marcus & Martinus' "Christmas to me" and Adolphson & Falk's "More Christmas".
The international list is topped by Wham's "Last Christmas", second is Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and third is The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's "Fairytale of New York".
