Sir Terry Wogan could be heading back to the charts thanks to an online campaign to get the late broadcaster to Christmas Number One.
Sir Terry Wogan could be heading back to the charts for Christmas number one
The star, who died this year following a battle with cancer, released a version of The Floral Dance in 1978, which reached number 21 in the charts.
Now a Facebook page, entitled Campaign to get Terry's The Floral Dance to this year's Official Christmas Number One song, has been set up.
It could mean a chart battle with Sir Cliff Richard, who is also releasing a Christmas single, a festive mix of It's Better To Dream, a song which appears on the veteran singer's latest album.
Last year, the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir reached the top of the charts with their charity single A Bridge Over You.
This year's Official Christmas Number One will be crowned on Friday December 23.
Contenders include One Day I'll Fly Away by Vaults, from the John Lewis Christmas advert.
