Christmas is All Around, a Christmas-themed cover of The Troggs' (and later Wet Wet Wet's) Love is All Around, is one of the main aspects of the story for Billy Mack (Bill Nighy). The song is publicised during interviews with Mack as being "crap", yet in the film it still receives a great deal of airplay and reaches the Christmas number one. The song was also released as a single in the real world and, while not getting to number one, was still a success. Previously Richard Curtis had used the Wet Wet Wet version for Four Weddings and a Funeral.
