Queen has once again ignited the music scene with the release of a previously unheard Christmas song titled "Not For Sale (Polar Bear)." Unveiled after years of anticipation, this discovery comes as a delightful surprise to both longtime fans and music enthusiasts, highlighting the band's enduring legacy and influence.  

Every Christmas has its soundtrack. For some, it’s loud and celebratory, filled with sleigh bells and singalong choruses. For others, it’s quieter — reflective, emotional, and rooted in the moments between celebration. Few songs capture that quieter side of the season better than “Driving Home for Christmas” by Chris Rea.

Few Christmas songs inspire as much discussion, division, and yearly reappraisal as “Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney. Since its release in 1979, the song has become a permanent fixture of the festive season — played endlessly on the radio, in shops, at parties, and across streaming playlists every December. And yet, it remains one of the most hotly debated holiday songs of all time.

Today, we're diving into none other than the unforgettable Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie. Released in 1980, this track stands out due to its unexpected blend of holiday cheer and deep-rooted anti-war sentiments. Oddly enough, despite its popularity, the song was banned by BBC Radio One in 1990, as the BBC feared it might upset listeners, given the global situation of the time. Instant classic? Absolutely!
