At number eleven it's Mr Elton John and Step into Christmas!
"Step into Christmas" is a Christmas song by Elton John (Music by Elton John,Lyrics by Bernie Taupin) released in 1973. Though it was originally released as a stand-alone single in 1973 with the B-Side "Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd Be a Turkey at Christmas)", peaking at #23 in the UK. Due to Billboard magazine editorial policy it was held off the Hot 100. It did, however, make #1 on a specially designated Christmas chart, and it appeared in the Cashbox Top 100 charts. It was later included as a bonus track on the 1995 remastered reissue of the album Caribou, even though it was released in the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road days. It also appears on the albums Elton John's Christmas Party, Rare Masters, To Be Continued, and The Best Christmas Album In The World...Ever!.
It was covered by the band The Wedding Present on their 1992 album Hit Parade II, and also covered by The Business for the Bollocks to Christmas EP.
