As I dust down the Xmas playlist, I'm reminded there 3, and only 3, permissible step-up key changes in pop. All others are naff gimmicks which belie a poor song. Acceptable are:
#Easy by #thecommodores
#riselikeaphoenix by @ConchitaWurst

@tomrothery I offer two other contenders for consideration: I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi

Agreed! Two worthy entries in the pantheon of permissible key change songs!
