I was taken by complete surprise when I glanced at this list and found out that a Christmas classic was knocked out of the top spot this year.

According to 'Play Network,' a company that compiles seasonal playlists for scores of retailers, Maria Carey is no longer the queen of Christmas Carols.

Carey's, 1994 holiday hit, 'All I Want for Christmas is You,' has been knocked down to position #2 on the chart. 

The Shin's cover of Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmas Time' is the new leader this year!

Chances are when you're roaming the malls and stores this holiday season, you're bound to hear some of the songs on the list:

1. The Shins, 'Wonderful Christmastime'
2. Mariah Carey, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'
3. Christina Aguilera, 'Christmas Time'
4. The Waitresses, 'Christmas Wrapping'
5. Jack Johnson, 'Someday At Christmas'
6. Kelly Clarkson, 'Underneath the Tree'
7. Michael Bublé, 'Holly Jolly Christmas'
8. Bing Crosby, 'White Christmas'
9. Train, 'What Christmas Means To Me'
10. Ella Fitzgerald, 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'
