As Christmas day is on a Friday I can definitely see the Xmas songs doing slightly better than usual as the buildup week won't be split into 2 chart weeks [although the biggest day for streaming is Christmas Day itself, so there will be a bit of hangover through to the next week. The perfect day for Christmas to fall on would be a Thursday really.]

2025 here we come!

yep, mass streaming of Xmas songs should ensure Mariah and The Pogues go top 20 yet again, possibly even top 10 for Mariah as she seems to do far better on streams?

Good to see Frankie still smashing Gabrielle's version - the male vocal is just so much more powerful than the female one in this track!

It will be interesting to see what songs take advantage of the New Year lull and surge upwards after Christmas. Obviously Justin Bieber and Adele will still be high but I wonder if Sigala or Grace could actually sneak a week at #1? A bit how songs like Scream & Shout, What's My Name etc did previously? I am sure there are also a few songs lingering in the latter half of the chart that could climb next year like Take Me To Church did this year.

29. Martin Solveig feat. Sam White - +1

Doing better than I expected!

Yes! :D

Anyone have any predictions on this going top 20 on iTunes and top 40 officially? It deserves to!

Really hope "+1" can become a huge smash, I wonder if it'll climb once the new year begins. Martin Solveig did it before with 'Hello'..

Yes! :D

It'll probably end up in the low 50s on Friday and drop off from there, Christmas songs are going to start hammering any momentum it picks up before long.

 

Kind of serves them right for leaving it so long to release it. :D

Sigala being the only excitement at the top of the charts this week proves heldback releases are still needed really. Think how painfully boring it would be otherwise!

Sigala will be lucky to sell 60k tho. You have to release that songs first week position isn't necessarily the end of their story and any ni her of songs in the top 100 at the moment could rise like TMTC did last year so January could see Sigala, Coldplay or anything else could climb post Xmas!

I'd estimate about 45K total for Sigala (sales only), Bieber only did 56K last week and Sigala is around 82% combined on iTunes at the moment.

Most likely they were waiting for Radio 1 to playlist it, but alas, it never happened.

78. Reggie 'N' Bollie - I Gotta Feeling/I Like To Move It

I think this is the highest they got. :yahoo:

 

I wish the original version from Reel To Real was top 100 too. It is one of my favorite dance classics of all time. :cheer:

but sure Sigala had some preorders too, even if these days that don't account for much

I was counting the pre-orders, Justin Bieber will decline in sales this week.
