1st December so it’s officially Whamageddon time….
The 1st Rule
The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas".
The 2nd Rule
The game starts on December 1st, and finishes at the end of December 24th.
The 3rd Rule
Only the original version applies.
The 4th Rule
You're out as soon as you recognise the song.
Who’s in - sign up below and the last person standing wins a luxury fictional Christmas hamper…

I'm in. Given that my preferred listening is either Planet Rock or Classic FM, and I work from home, I reckon I'm in with a shout.
I just need to avoid supermarkets now. |

I can go without wham. The American version of the most annoying song is Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas. It is overplayed and I just want to gouge my eardrums out with a spoon. |

Last year I got round Asda and through the checkout, then heard the first bars as I was leaving.

One year, I played and got to 23rd December and was still in.
Then, I accidentally knocked a button in my car as I was parking and switched the radio on...
I literally screamed "NOOOOOOOOO!" so loudly, passers by became concerned.
I've never got over it and have vowed never to play again.
...not that I'm competitive or anything... |

I listen to Heart Christmas so I've already heard it about 35,000 times this month. |

"I've been in bed most of the day and remembered to turn the sound down on my phone.
Not got it set as a ring tone, then?
No, my phone has only one assigned ringtone and it's not that.
A mischief maker like me could set itvas a ring tone and then trick lots of people into calling me back after sending them missed calls!
Only you would hear it though?"

I don't own a radio.
I do miss it on my Christmas Playlist though.

"I did this one year and got to Xmas without hearing it and I was just sad cos it’s an iconic Xmas song and it didn’t feel like Christmas without it "
That's the downside.
When I get Whammed I'm only peeved for a few seconds, then I put it back on my playlist. |

No, I would make sure I was somewhere really busy.
I'm an accomplished mischief maker! |

i have never been sent to Whamhalla. Managed to survive so far and as a DJ i refuse to play the original |

Still in but the radio station I listen to at work won't play this song. It's just the supermarkets that will catch me out. |

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
Apparently it was played several times at the market I was at on Saturday. I didn't even notice, much to the disappointment of others who were caught out. Hopefully the same will happen throughout the remaining markets. And after Christmas Eve... I'll put my hearing aid back on during markets |

Oh I'm still in. Yay me! Survived the weekend, I've got an indie Christmas playlist ready to go for wreath making. I'm hoping I can last until at least mid December. |

Survived an hour in Romford.
NEXT were playing some random Christmas tunes I've never heard.
The mall has really lovely decorations this year.
I just know I'm getting Whammed watching reels on Facebook this year. |

Can I just ask an adjudicator, if I hum it in my head so I remember I’m meant to be looking out for it, I’m still in, yes? |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Still in even though I wasn't planning to take part. How odd.

Do they play Christmas hymns instead? |

I think I'll win this so I am going to imply a rule for me.
If I hear the Manics sing it again I will bow out.
What a great version too. |
