I HOPA HOPA HOPA HOPA HOPA HOPA HOPA *-*

Not a fan of this at all, annoyingly repetitive. :( I wasn't a fan of Nothing's Real But Love either, but Backtrack was good.

One place higher than the similarly titled "High Hopes" from earlier this year :wub:

You mean the word that refers to a meatball? :P Or the donkey?

 

Both, but mainly the former.

They did in 2007, there was a massive outcry, and eventually it was reinstated.

 

Ah - 2 years before I first listened to the chart show so no wonder I don't remember :lol:

 

Surprised to see 'I Hope' holding on this high but then it had 2 versions top 40 all week I guess. The chorus of this is extremely annoying.

I hope I hope I hope I hope it's off to work I go...

 

Whoops, wrong song.

I hope I hope I hope I hope!! I fecking love it!!! It's amazing! OH I'M SO HAPPY!!!! :cheer:

How many times does she say I Hope :heehee:

Has anyone counted how many times she says 'I Hope' in this song?

Pogues will never grow old :heart: easily the best Christmas song going.

 

As for Rebecca Ferguson, I like how the song starts but when it gets to the chorus I'm like, is she making this up as she goes along? :unsure:

I hope, I hope, I hope, this song drops out of the top 40 next week...

'I Hope' is alot better than what I was expecting. Kind of reminds me of Beverly Knight in a way.

(34) Leona Lewis-One More Sleep

 

Good Xmas tune from Leona, Too bad that this tune enter at #34 maybe it climb up the chart in the coming weeks but this is somewhat disappointing to her here rather than at or near #1 like she was 5 years ago.

Has anyone counted how many times she says 'I Hope' in this song?

 

Apparently 65 times after doing ctrl+f on the lyrics. :lol:

I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope.

I think she says it 30+ times. I'm gonna count next time I listen now.

Whoops, wrong song.

Not sure any of the dwarf names refer to her. I don't remember one called Irritating.

Fairytale of New York :heart:

 

Absolutely love hearing Christmas songs in December ^_^

 

I don't mind hearing this one in July! :lol:

'I Hope' is alot better than what I was expecting. Kind of reminds me of Beverly Knight in a way.

someone seeing sense :D

Whilst Love Actually is seen as a modern Christmas classic, the one think I can't forgive it for is ensuring that this song became a perennial Christmas classic. I do not like "All I Want For Christmas Is You" at all.
