There was only ever going to be one winner from the 50 festive favourites to choose from, as Wham! received 6,400 votes (21.1%).
George Michael fans paid the perfect tribute in the poll, by also placing his 2010 track 'December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)' into second place, with 4,500 votes (14.8%), followed by Band Aid (which also included George) with 'Do They Know It's Christmas' in third with 3,500 votes (11.5%).
There was a late rally from Cliff Richard fans, with 'Mistletoe and Wine' and 'Saviour's Day' completing the top five.
Classics from Mariah Carey, David Bowie and Bing Crosby, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, Chris Rea and Slade rounded out the top 10.
