Fairytale of New York is a song written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan and recorded by their band The Pogues, featuring singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl on vocals. It was originally released as a single on 23 November 1987 and later featured on the Pogues' 1988 album If I Should Fall from Grace with God. It has proved enduringly popular with both music critics and the public: to date the song has reached the UK Top 20 on fifteen separate occasions since its original release in 1987, including every year since 2005, and was certified triple platinum in the UK in 2019. In the UK, Fairytale of New York is the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century. The front of the t-shirt features the artwork from a rare US release in 1987 which credited Kirsty MacColl's name first, we've put that right though.
