Buenos Aires, December 17 (NA) — Creating a Top 5 of Christmas songs is a challenge, as the music of this season is divided between religious classics, the 'crooners' anthems of the 50s, and modern pop hits. However, as learned from the Argentine News Agency, the artificial intelligence tool Gemini compiled a list of the 5 best. For this, it was based on its cultural impact, musical quality, and that unique ability to 'get you in the mood' as soon as the first chords sound. The ranking of Christmas songs according to artificial intelligence 1. 'Noche de Paz' — 'Silent Night'. It is the best-selling song in history. From a melodic point of view, it is the most perfect Christmas carol ever written. 2. 'The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)' – Nat King Cole (1946). For many, this is the definitive interpretation of Christmas. The velvety voice of Nat King Cole along with the string arrangement creates an atmosphere of absolute home and warmth. 3. 'White Christmas' – Bing Crosby (1942). At the opposite end is this piece of pure nostalgia. 4. 'Feliz Navidad' – José Feliciano (1970). The Latin touch that conquered the whole world cannot be missing. It is an elegant song that never goes out of style. Its acoustic guitar rhythm and the direct message of good wishes make it the most inclusive and celebrated song in all latitudes. 5. 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' – Mariah Carey (1994). It is, without a doubt, the modern queen of Christmas. It is cheerful, has impeccable production that recalls the sound of Phil Spector from the 60s and the voice of Mariah in her prime. Listening to it is like watching snow fall through a fogged-up window, even if you are in the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere. Special mentions: 'Last Christmas' – Wham! (1984). George Michael wrote this jewel, which curiously is a song of unrequited love, but with such a Christmas instrumentation that it became indispensable. 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues (for those who prefer a somewhat rawer and folk Christmas). 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' (Bruce Springsteen's version for a rockier sound).
