Come on you lot, leave that Grinch behind. Put on your Christmas hats, wrap that tinsel round your necks and sing LOUDLY

 

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

C'mon FIX YOU for number 1!!!!!

I guess it's number 1 combined already... but with 50K (it's really insane number) of streaming.. will give JB the number 1 spot.

Is there a physical for 'A Bridge Over You' or is it just relying on downloads? (I see it isn't available to stream).

The choir won't get number 1 I think with the streaming disadvantage, it's probably a bad song though I do have to rep Greenwich and Lewisham here *.* South East London slaying the Christmas charts. These charity and campaign songs are just gonna really struggle from now on as streaming grows.

 

Louisa won't even be top 10 this week will she? eeek.

It is on Spotify, I just streamed it...

 

from the title I thought it was gonna be an original, but it's a medley of Bridge over troubled water + Coldplay's Fix You

 

don't think it works but alas...

Justin Bieber still has a strong lead especially when you consider that he has way more streams. I've also assumed that the 2 versions of Merry Christmas Everyone will be combined (is that the case or no?)

 

Lol at Louisa already outside the top 10.

Justin Bieber will make a very un-Christmas number 1. There is no buzz around the Christmas number 1 this year at all so it seems :cry:

Lethal Bizzle is flopping at the moment

Justin Bieber will make a very un-Christmas number 1. There is no buzz around the Christmas number 1 this year at all so it seems :cry:

imo he deserves it more than anyone. He really has owned this year and managed to turn a lot of haters around (me, for example). It would be great to have a break from X Factor or charity singles being Christmas #1 for once, it's been a while.

I don't see the big fuss around a "proper" Xmas song etc. being #1 at Christmas. I'd rather it was just a good song, which Love Yourself definitely is!

The NHS song is at 97.73 % combined now, The NHS song is also now the bookies favourite for xmas #1.

 

Odds:

 

NHS 4/9

 

Justin Bieber 7/4

 

Star Wars 14/1

 

Louisa Johnson 16/1

 

One Direction 16/1

 

Stormzy 33/1

Cant say Ive got a problem with a Choir-based charity single once a year tbh although Bieber has done a decent job at little twerp reversal.

 

Louisa performing on Text Santa tonight, last chance saloon maybe .....

 

 

It is on Spotify, I just streamed it...

So it is, I thought it was credited as just 'The NHS Choir' so I missed it. Still, its streams will be tiny and I don't think it'll stand much of a chance at getting officially #1 if there's no physical.

How much of a lead on iTunes would it need overall probably to beat Justin and overcome his streaming? Twice as much?

Great, i hope the bookies continue to lengthen Bieber's odds and then I can bet on him finally :cheer: I don't see NHS holding up tbh, but it could if it gains momentum/media coverage. And will then go 1-40 or something next week, yay.

maybe it's for a good cause but its a terrible medley of songs, it's like if chosen by Cheryl :D

still hasn't overtaken on the live feed though

Poor Lethal Bizzle flopping. It's probably due to LB being dropped by Universal
