What is the most modern Christmas song you could regard as a classic though?

 

I'm sure many won't agree with this but I reckon The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End is up there.

I agree! I don't like how it's being forgotten and not been getting the airplay that the like of other "classics" get :(

I'd agree with that.

Seconded.

I think it could get to #1 on iTunes breifly tomorrow after she performs it on This Morning. :)

How much of an effect, if any, does This Morning have these days?

 

I remember from doing the prediction games that it typically has little, to no, effect.

Why has Leona increased so dramatically?

 

I don't think This Morning will have that much of a dramatic impact, I think it might increase the song by around 2%. ' One More Sleep' getting a top 3 peak might increase it's radio airplay next week.

Would love for Leona to get the official number 1, her first in 5 years! :wub:

Can't see that happening - it won't this week and even if it overtakes Avicii in the pre Xmas week (next week) the X Factor winner will be #1.

 

Top 3 is fantastic though!

Part of the reason is that it was used in TOWIE last night & played on BBC Radio 1 an hour or so ago. Another reason is its TV airplay & radio airplay are naturally increasing. Radio stations are taking note of the digital performance and upping their plays. :cheer:

 

I think if she can keep increasing, then This Morning might be the tipping point to get her to #1 on iTunes. Well I would hope so anyway. ^_^

Jon McLaughlin - Merry, Merry Christmas Everyone obviously.

 

Leona's song is awful IMO, it should be Kelly Clarkson's one doing this well :(

No wonder Little Mix got a big boost from Paul O'Grady! A performance like that on the X Factor final could probably have sent it top 10! :(

It doesnt necessarily mean itll become an xmas staple for example Britney Spears followed Mariah with her song My only wish this year but it is nowhere near a staple in the uk although i do hear it now and again!

 

That wasn't released a single though, at the time it was just an album track on a Christmas compilation released by Jive. I wish it had been released as a single with a music video!

Show Me is in the top 20! :wub:

Yeah thats true there isnt a video. But i meant there are some songs that chart well but dont become classics!

 

Warm this Winter by Gabrielle Cilmi is a modern xmas classic imo, its played every yr alot and i know its not necessarily an xmas osng but eh!

There it is on radio 1 now!

Has "Chasing Cars" been removed from iTunes, it isn't in the Top 1500!! :o

484. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

 

So no, it hasn't. :P

So no, it hasn't. :P

 

I don't think "song of the decade" will ever drop out the top 1500 tbh.

I think maybe wait until 'One More Sleep' has actually recharted even once before assuming it's going to rechart every year...? :lol: That's jumping to an even bigger conclusion than people who 'underestimated' it. (Note that I'm not saying it's not going to rechart next year, I think it does have a chance, but it's not exactly a foregone conclusion).

 

3. Happy - Pharrell Williams

Hooray at this overtaking Jason :D Another mildly amusing coincidence from this as well, as a top 3 where the top 2 are Leona and Avicii is completed by a song called 'Happy'.

 

28. Turn Back Time - Sub Focus

Still yet to hear this but I'm very surprised at a post-album single from 'Torus' looking likely to go top 40 after 'Turn It Around' had a 14-x run. Is this an instrumental or does it just have an uncredited vocalist?

 

63. Riptide - Vance Joy

Thought the moment for this had passed but now R1 have picked it up it looks like it still has the potential to 'do a Gotye'. Another contender for an early 2014 #1 me thinks.

 

75. Nightcall - London Grammar

FINALLY doing something! This should cement a top 75 position for it this week :D Deserves to be so much bigger than this though, absolutely gorgeous song, the clear highlight of the album along with 'Strong' and 'Wasting My Young Years' :wub: At least their album is still doing well even if the post-album singles have floundered a bit.

 

98. Too Much (feat. Sampha) - Drake

100. Too Much - Sampha

Interesting to see these 2 so close together. I like the Drake version as well but the original is much better.

Yea the new subfocus one is really good, unique compared to the rest and its alisted on radio 1 and played on capital too - should do well!

484. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

 

So no, it hasn't. :P

 

Oh, that's strange I searched (ctrl + F) for Snow Patrol and it only come up with "Run", Thanks.

Ooh yay for 'Turn Back Time' doing things for Sub Focus! I wasn't sure if it was going to be a top 40 contender so great to see it this high. And Bre, you should listen to it! :P It's quite different to his usual style (it's not drum n' bass/drumstep)
