How Can Wet Wet Wet Not Get Her Wet Wet Wet?

Men who buy their lovers CDs for Christmas by Mariah Carey, Celine Dion or Whitney Houston could end up dumped.

A quarter of women claim they would give their man the elbow if his festive gift to them is music by the singers.

Phil Collins and Wet Wet Wet are no safer a bet - they could lead to a lonesome Christmas reports The Sun.

No mention of any country music singing stars,* so perhaps Brian is safe.

But choosing the music your lover actually likes will hit the right note - half of women said they were attracted to a man because of his musical taste.

Artists which could save a man from getting dumped by his girl are Damian Rice, Robbie Williams, Joss Stone, Westlife, Usher and Elton John.

No mention of a country music singer here either. Maybe country has no effect whatsoever**.

*I use the term rather loosely.
**Besides this, of course.
