Well conjuring up the full chart run for 'Merry Christmas Everyone' took quite a while :heehee: Just about got it done in time for the first recap post though! Nice to see that song back (first time since 2008 it's been top 40, no doubt with much thanks to streaming!) as odd as it is to hear it for the first time after Christmas :P

 

The gift card effect has seemed a little more muted than usual with only 2 older songs re-entering but I still expect sales will be pretty huge. Could just be few re-entries because all the benefiting songs were still in the top 40 anyway :lol:

 

I think the 'gift card effect' is and will get less and less each year - 2 years ago all my nieces and nephews wanted for Christmas was iTunes cards, This year it was all about Spotify subscriptions.

I think these are the drop outs..

I hope not!

I hate when an old single's popularity prevents the subsequent singles from decent runs like it is happening to Ella Henderson.

I don't think people should rule out the likes of "Happy", "All of Me" and "Rather Be" from re-entering just yet. With only Phillip George looking to enter the T40 next week and Band Aid 30, Shakin' Stevens, Wizzard, Wham, Mariah Carey and The Pogues all looking to fall out, we should get another round of re-entries!

 

Boo at the likes of Blonde, Oliver Heldens, Labrinth and Ella Henderson all falling - all deserve to sell a lot more!

I think these are the drop outs..

:o I really hope you're mistaken as that's such a plummet and one I didn't see happening! Possibly their best single for me!

Pretty sure it has to be Gorgon City who's dropped out. Suppose that's what happens when you release on Xmas week...

6 months for 'Chandelier' in the top 40! :cheer: :wub:

 

So thoroughly deserved.

This is actually never going to leave!

Pretty sure it has to be Gorgon City who's dropped out. Suppose that's what happens when you release on Xmas week...

 

If it has dropped out, it had better come back in next week. :angry:

 

Sia climbing....again. This songs like a yo-yo these days.

To think I thought this would only get about 8 weeks in the top 40 when it debuted at #6.

Gorgon City had dropped to well outside the top 40 on iTunes by the end of the week so yes, it's pretty likely they'll be gone.

Such a shame Chandelier didn't get more time top 10 but 6 months in the chart definitely makes up for it.
