For what it's worth I'd prefer Mariah to be Xmas #1 over Ed Sheeran or Adele. As much as I like Ed, I don't like the way he's gone about getting the Xmas #1, it feels like such a cynical ploy with the Beyonce remix. And if Adele did release tomorrow (which I highly doubt she will) that would feel just as cynical. I prefer more organic Xmas #1s, 'Stay Another Day' being possibly the most perfect example of that.

QUOTE(Doctor Blind @ Dec 13 2017, 10:11 PM)  Ed is performing on the Strictly Come Dancing final so it would surprise me! Mariah's best (only) chance is the week after Christmas as that is when her streams will be highest - she will be fighting against gift card week, but that effect has collapsed in recent years. I didn’t know he was performing on strictly as I don’t follow the show. Well in that case, he will be no1 then unless something incredible changes at the last minute! |

Mariah will definitely get to number one in the next few years. Her streaming is so strong - on a year when Xmas day falls on a Wednesday she'll have a massive chance.

I'm sure East 17 released Stay Another Day to have a crack at the xmas no1 at the time tbh. The fact they were a British band probably helped them ease ahead of Mariah if anything as they were able to perform/promo in the uk at the time. This got me thinking - does anyone know the sales difference between both songs from Dec 94? |

East 17 were doing around 170K/week, and Mariah was on around 85K on her first week at number 2, and then 105K the week after - no idea about Christmas week I'm afraid (was not reported in Music Week). |

Isn't Ed Sheeran releasing a version of "Perfect" with Andrea Bocelli as well tomorrow? I would love Adele to release her "Fastlove" cover and beat him to Christmas #1. Will be interesting to see how the Wham campaign does though, could surprise!

Adele is a rare type of A Lister we get these days, She always puts people before her and so down to earth and she really truly deserves her success not only as a talented artist but the fantastic person she is

According to OCC, Mariah sold 100,000 in Christmas week and East 17 managed 160,000 (assuming these are their recalculated figures). http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/2...-is-you-__7820/ |

Did East 17 have much promo that week in terms of tv or signings?

BIB - Agree 100% It's really cheeky and pretty sell-out tbh. I know Ed Sheeran is kinda the poster boy for that anyway but still... |
