UK weather: The highest-charting 'cold', 'frozen', 'ice' and 'snow' songs
With temperatures in the UK plummeting, we've compiled the UK's chilliest hits - the highest-charting songs with 'cold', 'frozen', 'ice' and 'snow' in the title - and it makes for a seriously brisk playlist.
Just four 'cold' songs have gone all the way to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart: Vanilla's Ice's cool-as-a-cucumber Ice Ice Baby in 1990, Madonna's icy ballad Frozen in 1998, crisp midtempo banger Cold Water by Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber and MO, and most recently, Elton John & Dua Lipa's Cold Heart (Pnau Remix).
Other notable entries are Girls Aloud's supremely chilly Life Got Cold from 2003, hip-hop classic Cold As Ice by rap duo M.O.P, and two entries for winter warmer classic Baby, It's Cold Outside - Tom Jones's cover with Cerys Matthews was a Top 20 hit in 1999, while Idina Menzel's rendition with Michael Buble snuck into the Top 40 in 2014.

It's a hit single list, not a track list. As neither of those 'freeze' records hit the top 40, then no, they couldn't.
