1988 in pop marked the arrival of Kylie Minogue, sibling duo Bros and the rise of house music, but it was long-standing chart icon Cliff Richard who claimed the year's best-selling single.

Mistletoe & Wine spent four weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, across the whole of December - including the Christmas Number 1 - racking up an estimated 737,000 sales by the end of the year to claim 1988's top song, according to Official Charts Company data.

As revealed on Channel 5 series Britain's Favourite 80s Songs, the festive track was Cliff's 12th chart-topper and is still proving popular more than 30 years on from its release, re-entering the Top 100 at Christmas for the past two years during the festive season.
