What's this Fire Tones version of DTKIC? Is it a charity group or something?

Posted by: Dmdr 30th November 2018, 12:35 AM

Cheryl has also released a new remix, a vertical video to her Youtube channel and has a Graham Norton performance, wonder if it will be enough for a return to the Top 40.

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 30th November 2018, 12:36 AM

FFS at James & Anne's horrendous version of RTS being set to go top 10 and be a big hit. Arghhhh.

Posted by: Mack. 30th November 2018, 12:37 AM

Yes it is a charity.group featured on Midlands Today about this being 'one of the favourites ' for Christmas #1.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 30th November 2018, 12:37 AM

A 40+ strong choir of fire personnel from across the UK, including Cheshire’s Dan Selby, Emily Morris and Matt Lloyd, are making a bid for the Christmas number one to raise money for charity.

The Fire Tones’ cover of the Band Aid classic, ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’, is already the bookie’s favourite to be in the top five festive songs this year, with all proceeds from the single being split between The Fire Fighters Charity and the Band Aid Charity Trust.

At the end of October over forty fire and rescue service personnel from across the country descended on the BIMM music college in Birmingham. College principle Anthony Greaves had given them free access to the college’s newly-built recording studio, along with support from student producers. During the 12-hour session, they performed under the watchful eye of seasoned music producer Steve Osborne - whose clients include U2, Placebo, Elbow and the Doves - and vocal arranger Louise Warren, both of whom donated their time for free.

The single, which is high on the list of bookies’ favourites for the Christmas number one slot, is available to download on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon Music, with a cd version available from Amazon, and proceeds are being split evenly between the two charities.

Most likely will be no1 on iTunes by the end of today and airplay will be immediate for it. So is it a Mark Ronson lead single?

Mark and Miley at #10

Damn at how huge this is going to be, I can see it debuting top 25 on Spotify too! Will debut at around #11-12 though but will defiantly be a top five hit especially with promo!

Posted by: danVember 30th November 2018, 12:26 PM

I can definitely see Mark Ronson being a big Xmas number one contender. Song sounds big.

Posted by: dobbo 30th November 2018, 01:09 PM

Ronson coming for Xmas #1 he deserved 4 years ago, x factor is no threat at all now.

Indeed, x factor final was always lined up with releasing for Xmas week, then in 2011 it was pulled forward a week iirc, that became the new norm and now it's a whole fortnight earlier! (Plus the extra half week as we're tracking Fridays now not Sundays).

yes Ari video was released last night

Posted by: omrimayo 1st December 2018, 07:45 AM

And in 12 hours it did already more than 37m views and gonna break the all time record on YT. Her streams on Spotify WW jumped a lot with that effect and in the US she umped from 0
40 to have 30% lead at number 1. This is Christmas number 1 easily...

Video views for Ariana are INSANE! nearly at 40 million
Will 100% get a big boost this week streaming sales wise off the video views.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 1st December 2018, 11:57 AM

Ariana just had a huge update on kworb!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 1st December 2018, 12:06 PM

Its had a huge boost on itunes due to the video.
I imagine she should get back up to #2 on itunes by the end of the day.
EDIT - Oh she's only 6% from being #2 so think that could happen faster haha

Posted by: Cqmerqn 1st December 2018, 12:08 PM

I know that

I hope Nothing Breaks Like A Heart can reach #2 before Ariana steals it!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 1st December 2018, 12:11 PM

No I wasn't saying it like you didn't know it was because of the video, Sorry looks like that.
Just meant the video as give it a big "video effect" boost basically, I know you aint stupid ha! x

Whoever wins X Factor this weekend is going to lose out to Ariana

Posted by: Scene 1st December 2018, 12:20 PM

Maybe Ari could break 100k this week?!!

Posted by: Mart!n 1st December 2018, 12:22 PM

If she does it be the first single of 2018 to break 100k+

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st December 2018, 12:27 PM

Pleased to see she’s promoting more - I was worried she was pinning everything on XF. Might manage another week T40 before disappearing. I’m sure the lack of success with this single will have the record company wondering how the hell to follow it up.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 1st December 2018, 12:33 PM

I wonder if the video being huge will boost her spotify? I guess won't find out with UK until tomorrow with the video coming out at 8pm lastnight.

Posted by: Mart!n 1st December 2018, 12:37 PM

I think the last act to release in November and went on to be the Christmas #1 track is Queen with the original release of Bohemian Rhapsody (29 Nov - 1975) if my memory serves me right.

Hope Rewrite The Stars doesn't get too big of a boost

Posted by: dancember 1st December 2018, 10:24 PM

The producers probably asked him to do 'Shotgun' seeing as it's one of the year's biggest hits.

Posted by: 🎅🏼Cqmerqnㇳ 1st December 2018, 10:28 PM

I hope Mark and Miley can stay top 10 until their performance on Graham Norton!

It also feels like the type of song that will blow up once radio start playing it more.

Posted by: miichaelking21 1st December 2018, 11:53 PM

Probably because of how dreadful their performance of the song was tonight, nobody in their right mind wants to relive that

Christ the night at Shotgun being performed - it's a big hit but George should have told them he wanted to promote a song that would further sell the album. Is the last XF showntomorrow evenjng? Who's performing if so?

Posted by: 🎅🏼Cqmerqnㇳ 2nd December 2018, 12:34 AM

Ellie Goulding, Take That and Chic

Posted by: UltraReputation 2nd December 2018, 12:53 AM

Legit screaming! Why is this so accurate haha


Omg legit this. And none of the performances were good imo either: George I disliked but I think that's more down to the song than the performance, Tom's duet of LALO was a screeching messT and Anne wasn't great vocally at all but was incredible compared to James being completely off-pitch the entirety of that horrendous perofmrnace.

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 01:36 AM

Chic

Posted by: Bjork 2nd December 2018, 07:56 AM

can't believe Ezra did Shotgun instead of Hold my Girl, at least he could have done a little medley

funny how we were discussing the other day hope far up the charts Hold my girl would climb after the performance, and in the end he did his 9-mo old track

Posted by: 777666jason 2nd December 2018, 10:45 AM

Agree the contestants were better (minus Antony)

Posted by: SmileyKylie 2nd December 2018, 11:21 AM

22 Musics Too Sad Without You (Album) Kylie Minogue & Jack Savoretti
125 Musics Too Sad Without You (Edit) Kylie Minogue & Jack Savoretti

Both climbed nicely as the song responds nicely to radio plays on Radio 2 and Magic FM

Just call the 'edit' a Christmas remix and bobs your uncle!

Posted by: AcerBen 2nd December 2018, 11:21 AM

Well, I think a performance of the big hit DOES help the album directly. If he did the new single, that would've given that a chart boost, and then the increased radio play for that would help the album more indirectly I think. He's also selling tickets at the moment.

Ideally he'd have done a medley though.

Posted by: GTH 2nd December 2018, 12:02 PM

I am guessing George/the label are gunning for the biggest song of 2018 against One Kiss and God’s Plan. Think it has the potential to catch up by the end of December.

Would have preferred Hold My Girl still. The song is doing well on radio and downloads. It’s the sort of the song that would benefit from a tv performance.

Posted by: SKOB 2nd December 2018, 01:24 PM

That TGS mania is something else and it's much UK focused... wonder why.

Posted by: Tedward 2nd December 2018, 01:56 PM

Would be a shame if Shotgun did end up the song of 2018, One Kiss and God's Plan were so much bigger than it (and better imo).

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 2nd December 2018, 02:06 PM

Omg. Now I want a 'The Greatest Showmania' TV show like we had for Abba in the late 90's/early noughties!

Posted by: JosephCarey 2nd December 2018, 02:06 PM

Were they really so much bigger though? Shotgun actually feels bigger than both to me, and if they were all released at the start of the year like God's Plan, I feel quite confident that Shotgun would prove itself to be bigger on sales, with One Kiss second and God's Plan third.

Posted by: 🎅🏼Cqmerqnㇳ 2nd December 2018, 02:09 PM

Shotgun doesn’t feel anywhere near as big as One Kiss!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 2nd December 2018, 02:13 PM

you're right, it feels much bigger

Posted by: Jαsє 2nd December 2018, 02:16 PM

"Shotgun" takes me back to the summer, oh how I miss it

Posted by: Tedward 2nd December 2018, 02:19 PM

OCC updated the Top 40 of 2018 so far a few days ago, and God's Plan (at 1.52m sales) is still pretty far ahead of Shotgun (at 1.36m). One Kiss is much closer though, if anything's gonna overtake Drake it'll be that song, not George's!

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-songs-of-2018-so-far__22432/

Posted by: JosephCarey 2nd December 2018, 02:21 PM

You're right, but when it comes to the EOY chart, older songs benefit more. Shotgun didn't impact as a single until around June, while God's Plan peaked in January and One Kiss impacted from April, so they've had longer to build up sales since they became hits. As I said, if they all came out in the same week, I expect Shotgun would be on higher sales. For context, it would've only left the top 10 a few weeks ago if it weren't for ACR, that's mega impressive!

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 02:46 PM

It's ridiculous - wish Ezra and his record company had the balls to say they want to promote the current single!

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 02:49 PM

Can't imagine the label caring too much if they scored the best selling single of the year or not!

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 02:53 PM

There's def a shout for Shotgun vs Gods Plan but One Kiss has been undeniably massive across all formats.

Posted by: Tedward 2nd December 2018, 02:57 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but Shotgun never actually was #1 on Spotify was it? While One Kiss was there for ages and did incredibly well on downloads as well.

Posted by: 🎅🏼Cqmerqnㇳ 2nd December 2018, 03:13 PM

Correct, and I’m pretty Shotgun peaked at 475-500k per day on Spotify, whereas One Kiss was doing 850-900k.

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 03:17 PM

Yeh I would say One Kiss is the years biggest track but maybe I'm biased as I'm not a fan of Gods Plan!

Posted by: JosephCarey 2nd December 2018, 03:31 PM

Shotgun was huge across all formats too so I'm not sure what the point here is


I think Shotgun was more unlucky to get blocked by Three Lions and In My Feelings on Spotify - it was #2 for a VERY long time. One Kiss peaked higher on daily streams but I would argue Shotgun has been more consistent, the fact it's STILL going strong on sales and streams is pretty incredible, One Kiss wasn't this high at this point in its run.

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 03:40 PM

My point is that If I want to make that point I still can even if it's clearly frustrated you.

One Kiss was no1 for like 9 weeks and it was dominant across all formats including airplay/downloads/streams and as another poster pointed out its streams peaked hugely One various days/weeks. Let's just agree both songs were equally huge I guess.

Posted by: JosephCarey 2nd December 2018, 03:43 PM

I'm not frustrated at all and I don't think my post displayed that whatsoever, I was debating with you which is the entire point of this forum, no? You suggested One Kiss was bigger because it was huge across all formats, but so was the song you're comparing it to. That's simply what I was suggesting.

One Kiss had 8 weeks at #1, and God's Plan had 9, but it's interesting to see that while Shotgun "only" had 4 weeks at the top, there were five weeks at #2 in the middle and a further one beforehand - ten weeks in the top 2 and avoiding ACR the whole time is very impressive and I think we can't forget that!

Posted by: dancember 2nd December 2018, 03:44 PM

Shotgun did manage 3 days at #1 on Spotify, and was also #1 for the week 2018-07-12 before spending a long while at #2. Its Spotify run in general has been very impressive.

41-54-61-60-67-75-73-71-50-31-27-9-8-3-4-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-7-8-10-11-11-12-16-18-22-25-29-26-29-...

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 03:47 PM

Yeh well that's true, it had a lot of time at number 2 when Three Lions and In My Feelings sold more but were less consistent.

I just felt your post was a little passive aggressive at mine but maybe I took it wrongly!

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 03:50 PM

How far realistically will Dalton Harris push the #2 down over the next 24 hours with his winner's single?

Posted by: Scene 2nd December 2018, 04:39 PM

I still wouldn't be so sure Dalton will be the winner. If he does win though I reckon he could push #1 down to 0.13.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd December 2018, 04:52 PM

I'd say 'One Kiss' feels like the bigger one of the two from an observational point of view, although 'Shotgun' has been a key hit this year.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd December 2018, 04:52 PM

Also, James Arthur and Anne-Marie is an ultimate combination of evil.

Posted by: lewistgreen 2nd December 2018, 04:58 PM

It’s just had runaway success in the UK, especially the tracks as they’ve done much better here than in the US. That’s why British acts are represented on the Reimagined album because they noticed how popular it is here.

Gutted that Ellie has had one of the smallest boosts of the year from XF

Posted by: dancember 2nd December 2018, 09:53 PM

It'll go to #1 with a big lead here but I wonder how it'll do on Spotify, especially with all the Christmas songs around it could easily get lost in the mix.

I'm thinking maybe top 5 officially but it'll have to sustain a big iTunes lead all week.

Posted by: omrimayo 2nd December 2018, 09:53 PM

It's not on Spotify still...

Posted by: Pigs in blankets 2nd December 2018, 10:03 PM

Probably they are going to add it at midnight. He still have to make up a lot of ground though, hence the 3 days to make up.

So true, was so good. Dalton had to win though, so deserved. Great promo slot for OMS though - and has been coming back to the chart every year for the last 5 years now so this is a very welcome start to OMS taking over this Christmas.

Glad to see "One More Sleep" getting a good boost from the X-factor performance. It's been doing extremely well on streaming this year so far as well. Despite being on ACR it gives me hope it'll manage to go top 40 on the official chart again this year.

Posted by: sammy01 3rd December 2018, 10:08 AM

James Arthur isn't my cup of tea but he is obviously doing something right. In a thread where a song by Kylie or Leona rising 5 places gets praise knocking James for not having a top 10 (until this Friday I'm sure) seems a bit trying to down play his success for the sake of it.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 3rd December 2018, 05:09 PM

Presumably as they're all on the same playlist

Posted by: Christmasteve201 3rd December 2018, 05:33 PM

Everyone can be an arse now and again in life!

Posted by: Christmasteve201 3rd December 2018, 05:35 PM

Dalton has moved the rest down to 0.16!! Huge lead.

Did Rewrite The Stars ever get to no2? Seems close to it now!

Posted by: SameBoy 3rd December 2018, 05:41 PM

Ellie not even TOP 20 with X Factor ? yikes.

Posted by: mdh 3rd December 2018, 05:42 PM

I saw James Arthur last year with Ella Henderson and he was very humble and polite to the crowd, puts on a brilliant show live too. For all he's done in the past he seems like a genuinely lovely guy nowadays.

20. Ellie Goulding - Close To Me

Posted by: GTH 3rd December 2018, 06:47 PM

Media training will do that to an artist

Posted by: 777666jason 3rd December 2018, 07:08 PM

Page 10 of this thread it went to number 2 (probably for a couple of minutes before dalton zoomed past it)

You even quoted it yourself Steve

Whoopsie I had just forgotten lol:

Posted by: Scene 3rd December 2018, 07:44 PM

How far did Dimelo and When Christmas Comes Around push the #2 down to - presuming they both made iTunes #1?

07. Mark Ronson ft. Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart

The other tracks are climbing back to dalton after the last update

Posted by: Christmasteve201 3rd December 2018, 11:24 PM

Will be interesting to see how he holds up or whether he begins falling like a stone now!

Yay, happy to see this climbing already.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 4th December 2018, 12:33 AM

Was it not already high before the XF final?

Posted by: SKOB 4th December 2018, 08:17 AM

Is X Factor over? This early?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 4th December 2018, 08:30 AM

Yep, the final was two days ago. It was also over this time last year too (final: Sunday 3rd December 2017).

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 4th December 2018, 09:12 AM

It will always completely and utterly baffle me how it happened though.

Posted by: M4NG0 4th December 2018, 10:32 AM

I can only assume he had an exceptionally good team around him and they had a strong word with him. That and the fact he came back with a Ed Sheeran style song which really clicked with the public.

17. Ellie Goulding - Close To Me

Posted by: ZaraRuinMyLife 4th December 2018, 01:41 PM

13. James Arthur - Empty Inside

Looking likely he's going to have three songs in the top 10 soon.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 4th December 2018, 05:09 PM

What a hero lol!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th December 2018, 05:10 PM

Empty Space is one of the best songs he's released - loving Rewrite The Stars and The Power of Love too!

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 4th December 2018, 07:18 PM

38. Paloma Faith - Silent Night (feat. The Thank You Midwife Choir)
51. West End Does - Where Are You Christmas? (feat. Carrie Hope Fletcher)
105. John Gibbons & Franklin - A Spaceman Came Travelling (feat. Nina Nesbitt)

Posted by: Tedward 4th December 2018, 07:19 PM

Empty Space is probably the best song he's released so far but his voice still gets on my nerves in it- especially the chorus

Rewrite The Stars cover is unforgivable though. I really want to like Anne-Marie as well, but almost everything she's done this year is terrible

Posted by: Bjork 4th December 2018, 07:22 PM

Empty space is ok
but his cover of Rewrite the stars with Anne Marie is terrible to say the least

I've only heard the liver version of Power of Love and James Arthur was terrible too, overhanging and shouting all the way

Posted by: Michael Bubré 4th December 2018, 07:24 PM

Does John Gibbons have any original songs?

Posted by: dancember 4th December 2018, 07:42 PM

he actually does! but none of them did anything chart wise.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 4th December 2018, 09:53 PM

What is this West End Does group?

Is Palomas version of silent night on the album rerelease of a seperate single?

Posted by: ZaraRuinMyLife 4th December 2018, 09:59 PM

04. Mark Ronson feat Miley Cyrus - Nothing breaks like a heart

Damn this truly will go to number one in January and could end up #1 on iTunes following Norton!

Posted by: December's Dong 4th December 2018, 10:25 PM

THIS

What % is the no.2 now?

Posted by: M4NG0 4th December 2018, 11:07 PM

I want it to be Christmas Number one, but mostly because I put a bet on it the day it was released (I got odds of 14-1!)

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 5th December 2018, 12:59 AM

Forty Four Productions will be launching a 'WEST END DOES: CHRISTMAS EP' featuring West End stars: Carrie Hope Fletcher (Heathers), Rob Houchen (Eugenius), Tyrone Huntley (Jesus Christ Superstar), Bradley Jaden (Les Miserables), Rachel John (Hamilton), Rachel Tucker (Wicked) & Laura Tebbutt (School of Rock). All profits from the EP will be going to the fantastic work of Make-A-Wish UK.

The EP will feature three stunning tracks:

* Where Are You Christmas? (from 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas') - sung by Carrie Hope Fletcher, with 'Sing Gospel' Choir.

* Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - sung by Rob Houchen.

* O Holy Night - sung by Tyrone Huntley, Bradley Jaden, Rachel John, Rachel Tucker, Laura Tebbutt and Rob Houchen, with 'Sing Gospel' Choir.



No, it's just a single

37. Ane Brun - Always On My Mind

Posted by: Christmasteve201 5th December 2018, 09:31 AM

Is this from the ad? Seems to be a huge amount of old songs on ads that are slowed down to ballads!

Posted by: Bjork 5th December 2018, 10:31 AM

Ane Brun is very good at covers, a few years ago she did an amazing cover of Halo
this is great too

Posted by: Christmasteve201 5th December 2018, 01:04 PM

I do like it there's just been a huge amount over the past 15 years!

Posted by: thecarterfilez 5th December 2018, 01:33 PM

In addition to Miley performing on Graham Norton on Friday, she has been confirmed as performing on BBC Live Lounge. wow PROMO !

Didn't realise Snow Patrol were doing so well! Great track from a great album!

Looks like Ellie has peaked now. On the other hand Jon Gibbons is creeping high and higher.

Posted by: 🎅🏼Cqmerqnㇳ 5th December 2018, 02:37 PM

Thats a new peak for Ellie!

Posted by: UltraReputation 5th December 2018, 02:45 PM

It was actually a lot lower than #50 when I last saw it a couple of weeks ago! The week before Ava took off, she was very low top 100 if in it at all, as when I was tracking SBP, WTPO was always within a few places of it on iTunes!

Posted by: Bjork 5th December 2018, 02:48 PM

it's more of a streaming hit I'd say

Posted by: Christmasteve201 5th December 2018, 05:56 PM

Hopefully it conitinues to rise on downloads as well!

Posted by: Adamski94 5th December 2018, 06:14 PM

I'm a big fan of Rob Houchen his song 'Warning Signs' is a personal fave of mine

04. Ed Sheeran & Jess Glynne - Christmas Day

Posted by: dancember 6th December 2018, 10:19 AM

Fake news. Though I wouldn't mind an Ed/Jess Christmas song just to give Jess the Christmas number one. *_

Looks like R1 have played Baz Lurhmann again as he's back at #40.

John Gibbons up to #61 now too. Hope this can scrape an official top 100 position over Christmas.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 6th December 2018, 10:52 AM

DON'T DO THAT TO ME!

Posted by: Christmasteve201 6th December 2018, 01:46 PM

lol is that a Dido cover?!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 6th December 2018, 06:21 PM

Tom Grennan on the rise again, what's caused this? I was hoping "Run in the Rain" could (though it might still) do something to give him another hit and close the debut era.

Because the guy who produced it ended up ripping his ears out and bleeding to death so the finished product never came to light, fortunately.

Are there any new releases tonight that are going to do well? It seems last week was the last big Friday for new releases.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 6th December 2018, 09:43 PM

There ain't many I can think of!

Didn't realise Dalton was less than 40% ahead now!

Posted by: Lapland Labia 6th December 2018, 10:22 PM

What is this fake news about Nick from I'm a Celeb bring at no.1 on iTunes?? That is the X Factor's n
ITunes no.1!

Posted by: TheGrinch 6th December 2018, 10:29 PM

Dalton’s drop next week is going to be absolutely huge (2-15)

Posted by: Christmasteve201 6th December 2018, 10:30 PM

They told him on the show he was no1 on iTunes and obv people who don't know about the charts think that's official number 1!

Posted by: Lapland Labia 6th December 2018, 10:35 PM

But he isn't. Dalton is!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 6th December 2018, 10:36 PM

Yeah thankfully it didn't stay at the top for long

Posted by: Christmasteve201 6th December 2018, 10:51 PM

Prob accumulated around 1000 sales.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 6th December 2018, 11:05 PM

He debuted at No17 on the sales chart, which today usually suggest around 3K sales (not enough to go Top 100 officially).
