Congratulations to anyone who picked Mariah-AIWFCIY for this week - she appeared at #1456 yesterday, moving up to #1231 as of a few minutes ago. :)

 

 

OH MY GOD, THAT WAS ME!!!

 

I feel like I'm in a game of Bingo - THAT WAS ME!!!

 

I WAS RIGHT!

 

Oh, wait, I was the week before. Never mind, close enough.

It's Mariah, she's entered today!

 

I beat you to that by half a day... :)

Damn, I thought it would have been Cheeky Girls' 'Have A Cheeky Christmas'. Alex Range would've been happy. :P

Go and download 'Have A Cheeky Christmas' :)

 

Some good choices for downloading on Christmas 2013 :

- Florin Street Band

- Britney Spears

- Fast Food Rockers

- Mel Smith & Kim Wilde

 

and Me & My (if their Xmas song is available on British I-Tunes)

 

Not Christmas songs, but the spirit of winter for me :

- ABBA - Happy New Year

- Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe

- Steps - Heartbeat

The Pogues are at #1172 currently and Mariah is #1164. The guitarist from The Pogues died today so that probably means there will be another campaign to get 'Fairytale of New York' to Xmas #1.

Was there any of us who didn't think Shane McGowan would be the first to go?

I'd really love these would become sizeable Christmas hits at some point.

[insert suspicions of N-S / various other posters being members of the Florin Street Band street team]

Philip Chevron (the guitarist in question) didn't exactly live a totally sober life either.

No I'm not a member. I just love that song like nuts.

True, but AIUI he died of cancer, rather than, say, liver failure?

How many units must a single sell to chart in iTunes top 1500?

 

If vidcapper buys two, would that be enough?

 

Grin.

 

I would guess a song would need to sell between 30-50 copies a day to make the T1500.

The two biggies have now been in for ages...

 

261. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

509. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

 

But one of the others has turned up at last...

 

1405. Last Christmas (Single Version) - Wham!

"Gaudete" by Erasure got up to about 170 a week or so ago, but has since disappeared from the top 1500

:yahoo: Last Christmas in there happy days, you'll see a lot more in the coming weeks as people start stocking their iPods up for December music. Wonder if they will reduce them to 59p this year again.

 

Scott Mills played Mariah on Friday there because it was nov 1st lol wonder if that's the first spin of an Xmas song this yr, prob not theres radio stations that play them all year isn't there?

I prefer Cascada's cover of it. ;)

 

Serious? No way the originals the best for me. Out of all the Xmas mainstays on the radio each December it's the one I grow least bored of. Others inc pogues, Mariah, Slade & Band Aid just get repetitive. Love newbies like Christmas Lights by Coldplay, Boots by the Killers & ones like the Pretenders, Greg Lake & The Darkness!
