i still LOVE stay with me haha :lol:

Oh Stay with me :D Not his best though

At 30 weeks in the top 30, maybe this could break Happy's record as well?

Am I the only one who didn't see this spending 30+ weeks in the T40. While "Money on My Mind" hasn't done half as poorly as I thought it would, I was sure this wouldn't fare that much better. The poorest album track imo, but great to see Sam Smith getting success regardless - "Like I Can" deserves to be HUGE though!

This is such a poor Christmas chart in truth (and it can't even wholly be blamed on streaming).

 

At least this didn't return to the top 10 which was entirely plausable.

 

Having said that everything performed on X Factor final has done minimal. Where's Photograph/Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

'Stay With Me' is just so monotonous~ :zzz:

Biography

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist. Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), and Merry Christmas (1994), Carey was established as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single "One Sweet Day", a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history. During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.

 

Carey left Columbia in 2000, and signed a $100 million recording contract with Virgin Records. Before the release of her first feature film Glitter (2001), she suffered a physical and emotional breakdown and was hospitalized for severe exhaustion. Following the film's poor reception, she was bought out of her recording contract for $50 million, which led to a decline in her career. She signed a multi-million dollar contract deal with Island Records in 2002, and after an unsuccessful period, returned to the top of music charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). Its second single "We Belong Together" became her most successful single of the 2000s, and was later named "Song of the Decade" by Billboard. Carey once again ventured into film with a well-received supporting role in Precious (2009); she was awarded the "Breakthrough Performance Award" at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and Black Reel and NAACP Image Award nominations.

 

In a career spanning over two decades, Carey has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards. Carey was also named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, she is the third best-selling female artist in the United States, with 63.5 million certified albums. With the release of "Touch My Body" (2008), Carey gained her eighteenth number one single in the United States, more than any other solo artist. In 2012, Carey was ranked second on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Women in Music". Aside from her commercial accomplishments, Carey has won five Grammy Awards, 17 World Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, and 31 Billboard Music Awards. Referred to as the "songbird supreme" by the Guinness World Records, she is famed for her five-octave vocal range, power, melismatic style and signature use of the whistle register. - Wikipedia

"Everyone's favourite Christmas song" - explains why it usually charts lower than The Pogues ~ The Pogues victorious on Christmas Day once more despite streaming *.*

At 30 weeks in the top 30, maybe this could break Happy's record as well?

 

Wouldn't at all be surprised, he'll have gift card help, then BRITs exposure etc.

 

Woo! Mariah bringing us much needed festive joy :D

Yay for Mariah!! :yahoo: I actually thought this would have just been outside the top20. They'll be telling us Band Aid 30 is top 10 next!! Nah, don't think so! :lol:

Except it doesn't usually chart lower, she's just losing out this year due to Google Play offering the song for free ^_^

Sorry Jameela Your an amazing chart presenter but All I Want for Chirstmas is not my favorite christmas song IMO...Cant wait for The Pouges :D :wub:

Loving a bit of AIWFCIY at the mo ~ so gloriously Christmasy :bounce:

I can see this spending another week T20 next week. It'll have 5 days of sales/streaming - and surely streaming on Christmas day will benefit it hugely? With only "Heroes" as a new entry above it, could it well improve on it's #16 peak in 2014?

Except it doesn't usually chart lower, she's just losing out this year due to Google Play offering the song for free ^_^

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

:hi: Buzzjack

 

Adore this song so much, my favourite ever Christmas song. And yay at Hozier repeaking :cheer:

Song info

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for relief of the 1983–85 famine in Ethiopia. The original version was produced by Midge Ure and released by Band Aid on 28 November 1984.

 

At a press conference on 10 November 2014, Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure announced that in 2014 a group of artists would again come together to re-record the song, this time under the banner of 'Band Aid 30' and in aid of the Ebola crisis. It was released on the following Monday, 17 November, just 11 days short of the 30th anniversary of the release of the original version of the track. - iTunes
