The Human League : a band best known for a song they never wanted to release as a single but that went on to become the biggest seller of 1981 . ‘ Don ’ t You Want Me ’, a clever duet examining the death of a love affair from both perspectives , also proved once and for all that the best Christmas number ones aren ’ t about Christmas at all .
