Christmas is just around the corner, and everybody loves a wee sing along to festive tunes, no matter what they're doing.
A new study of 500 Spotify playlists has revealed the UK’s favourites when it comes to creating the ultimate festive soundtrack for none other than in the shower. To coincide with the Spotify study, luxury bathroom specialist, Big Bathroom Shop surveyed 1,000 Brit’s bathroom habits, revealing that 78 per cent admit to singing in the shower.
Over half of the participants in the study (52 per cent) have a personalised bathroom playlist especially for Christmas that they play exclusively from December 1. So which festive tracks made it to the top ten and into our shower showtimes?
