at least with River it was #1 on the Amazon chart
the Bieber song is nowhere to be seen on Spotify, Apple, iTunes
low top 100 on Amazon... and makes the mids top 75? that's literally impossible...

River wasn't #1 on the Amazon chart at this stage of its chart career though.

It's nowhere to be seen on those platforms because it's an Amazon exclusive, as per the first post. Nothing's impossible after last year's ridiculousness from Amazon.

River was top 10 at this point and top 3 the week after.

Justin’s Amazon position is lower than his official position. That is impossible.

Ever since his voice broke he has sounded bored. He doesn’t have an interesting or strong voice and can’t he just leave this classic alone?

Indeed! And to be fair now I've heard it, it's a lot better than expected! Never going to be a definitive version, but there's definitely worse out there.

It got to number 4 due to its playlist position, I know what version we will continue to hear every December hence forth!

It got to #4 because it was an Amazon exclusive and Alexa spammed it, but that doesn't stop it being a top 5 smash kink.gif don't think anyone's contesting that Brenda Lee's original is the biggest and most loved!

Interested to see if Amazon will still be spamming this this year now that it's no longer an exclusive tongue.gif (I'm guessing they'll have new exclusives that they will move onto shilling instead).

I remember this being a better cover than I expected it to be tbf, obviously not a patch on the Brenda Lee version but perfectly listenable.

It won’t, just like the John Lennon cover from the year before lost in the lower top 200s every Xmas day and then out!
