NHS Choir will have shifted enough on Friday to stay comfortably top 100 and possibly even still top 40 I think. (The fact 'even' appears in that sentence speaks volumes about how disastrous this drop is going to be though :lol:)

 

Deservedly so, it is the most apalling record to hit number one since "Wake Me Up" last year and before that The Justice Collective. These horrible cover versions are far worse than any X Factor winning single ever released. Remember when charity records used to be decent? Perfect Day & S Club?

 

It is quite fascinating to see how it will drop and Louisa Johnson as well. You can never say the UK charts are boring though.

I'd bet all my money that NHS Choir won't be top 40 tomorrow. :w00t: :cheer:

Yeah I really can't see them being top 40 either.

The usual cut off for the Top 40 as of late has been 13-14k and there's no question it'll be higher this week, not sure how much but definitely higher, so I really can't see NHS Choir staying Top 40. Possibly so on the sales chart, but not by much.

Further update on the midweek update: Music Week still haven't published a midweek update and there's been one tweet made from their twitter account since I sent them a tweet a few hours ago (to which I received no reply) so I think it's safe to say that nothing is going to appear on their website. It looks like we'll have to wait until Friday afternoon for the weekly chart show before we find out anything.

And I thought Louisa was falling quickly :heehee:

well considering that the nhs choir have already slumped out of the top100 on iTunes and haven't graced the spotify top200 ~ surely they're going to struggle to remain in the combined top100 this week~

 

in any case such a comical fall from the top spot should precipitate the tightening of the anti-hyping chart rules to include orchestrated facebook campaigns which distort the chart~

 

You really think they will take action to stop charity singles making the Xmas no.1?

Good luck with that campaign!

 

Really don't understand why anyone is surprised by the NHS choir single performance this week, it's bleedin obvious.

 

The standout, even historic one in the last decade, is the XFactor winners song performance.

If it's so 'bleeding obvious' why is it completely unprecedented? No single has fallen out of the Top 20 before from #1. I think for that reason it is somewhat noteworthy.

 

Even Rage Against the Machine had enough support to make it to #2 in week 2.

Exactly Doctor Blind

 

Surely that ship has long since sailed... :lol:

Yup it is very boring...

They were even top-40 on week 3!

RATM isnt a choir song the week after Xmas, right?

Give some stats on Xmas #1 campaign choir songs the week after Xmas and you may have a point :blink:

Military Wives {1}-4-14-24-34

Justive Collective {1}-5-21

 

Both started at #1 and both choirs which we're still top 5 in their 2nd week and both practically top 20 in their 3rd week!

So the NHS Choir fall is unprecedented, especially considering no song has fallen out of the top 20 from #1!

I like to know where the next #1 track is going to come from, hardly any new releases for the month of January, could be a climber, love to see Grace getting there, maybe Snakehips could climb very slowly to the top 'All My Friends' is not that bad, otherwise it be Justin Bieber for the next month or so :drama: Needs someone like Rihanna to drop a new release.

If JB is still no1 with LY on the 31/1/16 I will eat my hat and fair play if it is but theres always new tracks that are released once the new year kicks in so id say something will come along some friday or something will rise. Most campaigns for new albums released up until March will start from Jan 1st not to mention one of the sound of top 5 will release a song or a song is currently out now which will gain airplay and popularity. Also Lush Life is released on the 15/1/16 and has a preorder with the stream on spotify in the top 50 already so it should do well from early signs, although im not sure if the preorder is for a OAOS style release or if its already been premiered?

 

On the NHS Choir drop the previous songs did have physical singles which do help severe the song slightly esp if the christmas chart falls on the 16/12 or something so they have 2 weeks top 5 gauranteed plus the final week of the year people are still in the shops for the sales so people willpick up the cd steadying its heavy fall.

daily updates from the OCC during xmas week to let everyone know the choir was a contender, not even a midweek update this week.

could be a coincidence, but you might suspect a support to the choir

I would say the OCC team are off all this week but work up until the xmas chart is announced, as they always act like the christmas chart has the importance of the pre 2003 era these days with interviews from the contenders on their sites (even with non contenders like The Couteeners, Scouting for Girls etc).

There probably will be releases in January, just that they don't get pre-announced. For example Birdy has a single out tomorrow - we only know about it because her website posted the story early by mistake.

 

But with OAOS most of them will bomb :wacko:

Exactly. When granting (ore refusing) holiday requests, the OCC are bound to want to make sure they have staff in the lead-up to the Christmas chart. They are less likely to insist on the same staffing levels for this week. Most of the holiday requests will have been submitted long before the choir campaign started, so any suggestions of a conspiracy are either nonsense or a Daily Mail story. Not that there is much difference between nonsense and a Daily Mail story.
