Top 100 for the 21st December 2019

Pete's Chart Commentary
It's Christmas Takeover week! But not as takeover-y as last year as not as many artists released Christmas songs, meaning I ended up trawling the Billboard Christian Chart to find songs to make it somewhat reasonable. In the Top 40 are songs from The Afters, We Are Messengers, Alessia Cara and a cover of Driving Home For Christmas by Gavin James. The original re-enters the lower end of the chart, alongside a selection of festive new and re-entries.
