QUOTE(timjimlee @ Dec 11 2017, 06:11 PM)  Actually it was last year that Chris Rea got to #26, it peaked at #53 in the year of Release (1988). Good to see it improving year-on-year. If I recall correctly Chris Rea would have likely got even higher last year but it got removed from Spotify in the final week before Christmas leading to it exiting the top 100 entirely while most/all of the other Xmas songs were peaking. Especially problematic for that particular song as it's one that usually picks up more than most in the couple of days right before Christmas for obvious reasons. Should be top 20 this year I'd think. Good to see a bunch more Xmas songs being taken off ACR, I really like seeing the charts filled with Christmas songs each December tbh lol ~ Yass for The Pogues climbing, Elton in the top 20, Slade top 30 (higher than I thought they'd be as I thought they were underperforming a bit on Spotify, they're not even that far behind Wizzard for once) and Lennon and McCartney both top 40, hope they can all hold their positions as they're all amongst my faves of the Christmas classics. I'd love to see Coldplay make the top 40 again as well in the next couple of weeks. Also good to see Ed re-overtaking Sam in the albums chart, I'd much rather have Ed as the Christmas #1 if it has to be one of the two. Paloma's album actually holding up really well so far beyond its big second week drop, could prove to be another high seller for her in the long run! |

QUOTE(Tawdry Hepburn @ Dec 11 2017, 07:48 PM) Paloma is doing amazingly. I know she's always been a consistent and strong album seller but for the first time not one of the singles has made a particularly big impact so I was unsure if the album would just slide away quicker. If it can stay in the top 10 over Christmas that should give it some bumper sales! It's mainly due to streaming. Her singles have been getting good airplay, which looks to be having a positive effect on the album! |

QUOTE(Envoirment @ Dec 11 2017, 08:32 PM) I really dislike recurrent rules/catalogue charts, so I would hope it's never considered. I mean the chart is meant to reflect popularity and Christmas songs are popular for one month a year. Don't think it's that big of a deal. I mean you could argue that a large amount of streams for a lot of songs are people just clicking play on popular spotify playlists without seeking out the songs individually. No different than clicking a Christmas playlist. I think that's a problem too - but this is worse because they're getting in the way of current hits. Does the chart really accurately reflect popularity if Spotify playlists have so much power? |

Paloma being at #4 is surely nothing to frown upon?

It is looking like we will see new peaks for Step Into Christmas, Buble's It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas and Holly Jolly Christmas, Driving Home for Christmas, Santa Tell Me, Happy Xmas (War is Over), and Kylie's Santa Baby, all with another whole chart week before Christmas. I'd love to see Elton's Step Into Christmas finally break the top 20.

It is wonderful to see some Christmas songs on track for a new career peak, i am really enjoying this. I also believe Mariah Carey could be on for matching her original peak position this week and wonderful to see Leona Lewis on tracj to enter the top 40.
Wonderful to see Ed Sheeran looking like returning to the album number 1, he has his Strictly Come Dancing Promotion coming up to which will drive sales even further for him next week. Great to see Paloma Faith on the increase too. |

Would be an nightmare if you had to listen to the chart if you were a JW.
But people will bitch and moan about this with too many Xmas songs in the Top40. There are too many there you go, I said it. |

Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas though, and the stricter ones won't involve themselves at all with it. My Mum used to work with one who would refuse to take Christmas cards to the postroom even if she was going there anyway.

This one got to #2 It's kind of astonishing how Elton John's track has turned into one of the biggest Christmas classics (and seemingly increasing in popularity every year) after how low it peaked originally, same with Chris Rea. |

Paloma's deluxe version is the same price as the standard version in HMV. Which is probably enticing the more casual buyer. Really happy with her album doing so well though

We just have to deal with Christmas songs clogging up the charts although I find it annoying too. Once it’s Boxing Day, Christmas songs will stop or hardly get streamed
