I think Rag'N'Bone Man will have the first #1 of 2017 he will also have the Brit effect, since he won the Critics Award, leading up to the nominations (January), he could be in for a long haul. The Brits is also showcased in February, with a pre show towards the end of January. I do like the Little Mix single Touch could also get a week or 2 in between. I'm not feeling the new track to 50 Shades Darker, I reckon that will miss, there is nothing to hook you in like Love Me Like You Do.

I'll just put it below 23rd December Rockabye 30th December Rockabye 6th Jan Human or Rockabye or Touch those will dominate a few weeks in Jan. February/late Jan Ed Sheeran if he releases.

She will match Lush Life ' s peak though or get to 2. This post has been edited by XMAS Rob S~: 21st December 2016, 10:44 AM

However it would be foolish to rule out Little Mix entirely, and also Zara Larsson!

I guess if Rag'n'Bone Man was put at 59p he'd be a very strong contender though, but I think it'll be another 'Dancing On My Own' situation where he does amazingly well on sales but not so stellar streaming which will deny him the #1.
