Oh no, hopefully she will be OK.

Were the performances bad?

No not bad but she missed some notes she would normally hit, a couple mid note. She either has a cold or is croaky from the promo/ interviews. Santa Baby was solid but her voice wasn’t as rich as it can be.

XMAS was very good overall, was that its first ever proper live performance? Capital have added it and Santa Baby to their YouTube channel!

She does look incredible, she’s in fabulous shape. The red latex dress was stunning.

Pitty she didn't perform hot in December instead of santa baby but santa baby is likely to get more streams as it might be the more prominent of the 2 songs which will help album streams.

Nice interview on bbc1 breakfast.

Says she will take a month off after Xmas lol.

Hot in December video snippet, Xmas snippet, it's the most wonderful snippet, office party snippet

Oh one thing I’ve noticed on both Spotify and Amazon is Fully Wrapped is marked as a ‘compilation’ in the credits.

That would be quite interesting if they mark it as a Greatest Hits album for chart purposes. Would mean both Kylie Christmas and Fully Wrapped would receive streaming points.

We’ll find out soon when the official charts shows us the midweeks.

Are any of the other songs other than XMAS doing anything on Amazon?

Santa Baby is around top 60. Others not showing sadly.

Does that mean they would be split, I'd prefer all streaming to count towards fully wrapped

They’ll be double counted if it’s classed as a compilation by the OCC. It’s daft, that’s why so many hits albums are permanently charting in the UK. If the above is to be believed Fully Wrapped is showing as a New not Reentry.

Edited December 8, 2025Dec 8 by aeroco

^ The spreadsheet that this information comes from always has NEW in the “Last Week Position” column even if it’s a re-entry! So we can’t tell from this alone how the OCC is treating Fully Wrapped. What we need from the source is the “number of weeks in chart” information. If it’s only 1 week then it’s definitely treated as a new release, but if it’s… however many weeks Kylie Christmas has spent Top 200… then it’s been combined. In any case, we should find this out later from OCC’s Monday update.

It seems like Kylie Christmas is quite safe for #1 as things stand. Sam Fender is #2 with 8,841 and Kylie outsold him based on Sunday sales so he’s not currently catching up. Only Olivia Dean sold more than Kylie on Sunday, but not by much, only 80 or so copies according to the source.

XMAS is sadly lagging behind Tom Grennan at this same stage. He was midweek #3 at this point with 16,427 sales. Meaning Kylie’s only doing 61.5% as well he was doing in the equivalent period. I wonder why the Amazon effect is less powerful this year? Unless they really ramp it up next week, I don’t think XMAS will realistically a Christmas #1 contender. It may end up being the case that the week after is its best chance, which in a way would be unfortunate as the week after Christmas chart isn’t aired by Radio 1 as far as I’m aware.

I am guessing Tom had downloads, video streaming etc included though? maybe physicals too, TV apperance?????

I do think from Friday we could go all out crazy with remixes, Alexa, downloads, video etc. + 2 TV appearances.

It has been deliberately held back..

Tom also held back his downloads and physicals

I think Kylie will shift a sizeable more amount of physicals though, but either way I'm not too concerned. Even if it gets her anywhere in the top 5 I'll be over the moon.

Tom Grennan didn’t have physicals available in this equivalent week last year (in fact his were only released in the week after Christmas chart week). While he was available to download at this point, his download sales were weak (reaching #82 in the download chart in this equivalent week last year). His music video never made the video streaming chart! So really, he was almost entirely driven by audio streaming at this stage.

I just hope Amazon really goes into overdrive with XMAS next week!

Do you think Gwen Stefani Amazon exclsuive is stealing some Alexa Streams too?

Honestly this - the fact we’re going to see a 2nd Top 10 when I didn’t think she’d be troubling the Top 40 singles chart again is amazing.

Not sure she’s stealing them - Amazon are spamming both rather than one over the other.

Kylie isn’t being Alexa spammed anywhere near as much as Tom was…That’s literally what it boils down to.

Tom last year was played 3 times in every 15 or so songs, Kylie is being played once…

Not sure if it’s People skipping so it’s not as auto played?

Hopefully next week they put her really high and turn the Alexa switch on 😂

There’s always more than one Amazon exclusive each year, so it’s negligible, Kylie’s getting the level of support she’s getting regardless of Gwen.
