My prediction

 

1. Jo Cox and Friends

2. Clean Bandit

3. Ed Sheeran

4. Matt Terry

5. London Hospices Choir

 

Yeah, I am going to wait until tomorrow to buy Clean Bandit officially and also going to stream it all week. I would quite like £400 please.

Yeah Zenons looks like it could be right (that's if Ed releases) however I'd replace the Choir with Mariah! I think the Choir is surely going to be overshadowed by the Jo Cox track this year.

Clean Bandit would be a bad Xmas #1. I'm sick of this zombie-fied tropical dance tripe - it's so bland and boring. Can see why a lot of people don't have a personality, it's this rubbish music. Jo Cox or Mariah for the #1.

If Ed release something then he'll trounce Clean Bandit. It could probably clear 30k in curiosity streams alone let alone repeat listens and download sales!

Because Jo Cox's Friends is an example of REAL music?

I doubt Eds going to release anything, I think the blue updates were just uploaded as He's come off social media for the time being?

 

Definitely, be buying Clean Bandit in all music stores and streaming all the versions from tomorrow haha!

I don't mind having Rag'N'Bone Man at #1 next week, at least he get a few weeks at #1 if he wins the Sound of 2017 the week after.

He left his social media on 13th December 2015, the blue image updates came exactly a year later! It's anyone's guess what it means precisely, but it does seem to indicate a return to social media / a tease of a new era.

I don't think that's very likely, 'Human' is #26 on Spotify, so his streaming would need to become a lot stronger - and sharpish!

Oh you cannot put Clean Bandit in the same category as tropical house! Rockabye is poptastic and the very opposite of bland.

I don't think Ed would be allowed to release something. He penned the XF song. If Syco had any sense they'd write some clause in the contract that he can't release something on xmas week to avoid competition

I doubt he'll release something tomorrow. It would be pretty shitty of him to try to compete with a charity record he'd written himself and I can't imagine he's bothered about getting a Christmas #1 of his own. I think the only reason he did that announcement the other day was because it was exactly a year since he'd stopped tweeting.

Just watching Prime Minister Questions from yesterday and they were talking a out the importance of downloading the Jo Cox single and Angus Robertson actually held up the cd single - didn't realise it was getting a physical release!

what time are the new contenders released? for now we have CB leading on streaming and matt on downloads

The Christmas chart starts from midnight tonight!

Clean Bandit down to 5/1 and lower on oddschecker now

 

But I guess if it's not the x factor getting the #1 then it has to be the charity single *shrug* (I still reckon Matt would have a really gold chance if they hadn't ditched the physical copies this time, kinda baffling tbh)

i guess you could say it's the Grand National for chart followers :D (only difference being the grand national is far more exciting and interesting every year :angel:)

This year's is still wide open, big gamble from Clean Bandit from 25-1 to 4-1. This is the Grand National for chart followers.
