No sign of Christmas Lights :(.

 

I heard Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons earlier - im not sure if it was just a coincidence but i consider it along with my own christmas/seaosnal classics :D First day of Winter i suppose!

Why is 'Christmas Wrapping' never "cherry picked" to become a Christmas staple? It's one of my all time favourites :(

453 Coldplay Christmas Lights

485 Kelly Clarkson Underneath the Tree

929 The Saturdays Christmas Wrapping

No sing of 'Wrapped In Red' then :( good to see UTT top 500 at least though.

Wouldn't it be funny if we ended 2014 with a number one single from Union J, but not 1D

And last year didn't "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" and "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" make iTunes #1? :lol: They were very surprising!

 

Ding Dong didn't make #1 on the chart, it was held off by Duke's Need U (100%) (thank goodness :drama:)

That's why April said iTunes #1 :P

The Saturdays going to get a third top 200 smash.

 

'Christmas Wrapping' climb!

First reading carefully second writing a comment :P

 

As already someone said April/December was talking about iTunes number 1s :drama:

:cheer: At Christmas Lights! Where is the Waitresses version from 1982 :huh:

'Underneath The Tree' is my favourite Christmas song of recent times. :wub:

 

It's really aggravating me that one of the worst songs of the year is keeping Ella from the top 10. :angry:

Yes I knew that, I was just pointing out one of the rare iTunes #1 not #1 on the chart. Anyone made a thread on these occurrences?

With all the multiple versions removed & the X-Factor performances removed Leona is about 91! :D

Incredible for Union J if they keep #1 especially as they were looking like being on the verge of getting dropped as their lead single spent 2 weeks in the charts with a chart run of 9-74-out!

 

Am sure now they have added 2 extra versions to iTunes and have the single bundle which counts as 4 sales alongside their signings in Morrisons this week should be enough to snatch the #1 position!

Not going to lie i think this X Factor performance saved their career to be honest, talk about the performance of a lifetime!

The Union J song is very poor in my opinion, is it just the X Factor performance that's made it go to Number 1??

Of course the XF performance helped but XF slots don't guarantee hits these days. Nicole Scherzinger couldn't even manage Top 40 following hers.

Union J's song is so so awful! I don't understand why people on here are saying its a definite improvement? Kudos to their promo team for making this big but it'll defo be a WTF number one in the future. If anything I wish it was Carry You doing this, nowhere near as cringe.

Good news for Leona then! If she can keep climbing as the week goes on, I hope she'll be able to make it into this week's top 100 chart. :)

I imagine the average X Factor watchers would love Union J though, wheras Nicole Scherzinger has a slightly older fanbase I'd say.
