December 4, 20168 yr Clean Bandit are 16/1. I am predicting them to be honest.. The XF winners single won't be anywhere near the top at Xmas and I don't see anything that could stop them? I can't see Rae Sremmurd taking it now
December 4, 20168 yr I put a fiver on Mariah at 100/1 a couple of days ago - best odds now are 33/1. I think she stands a very good chance - already 4 on streaming and top 20 on i-tunes and the song will be hammered in the week leading up to Christmas - particularly on streaming which I think is going to give her the nudge this year. Especially given as competition seems to be on the low side.
December 4, 20168 yr It won't be a Christmas song until Christmas day falls on a Thursday so it gets maximum streaming before the midnight cut-off. Can't see it being Clean Bandit either, surely they won't be still be shifting huge numbers in what would be their seventh week on top? Only a choir/charity song will take it IMO as X Factor will also be very weak.
December 4, 20168 yr Can't see it being Clean Bandit either, surely they won't be still be shifting huge numbers in what would be their seventh week on top? But then who'd sell enough to overtake Clean Bandit? I don't think the choir support will be that big tbh

December 4, 20168 yr NHS Choir sold over 100k last year so it depends if people get behind it or not!
December 4, 20168 yr Sick of these choir songs, they're always bloody awful, wish people would just give money to the charities direct for crying out loud. It really is an open race this year, and with the streaming phenomenon it really could be a Christmas classic we've not seen hit the top spot before. Or perhaps Ed Sheeran has written the winner a brand new Christmas song, we just don't know?
December 4, 20168 yr Author But then who'd sell enough to overtake Clean Bandit? I don't think the choir support will be that big tbh We all said that about the NHS Choir last year, but these charity choir singles always seem to get lots of media attention for the cause they're raising money for. The choir this year will only need to sell about 80k to get #1 anyway unless The X Factor winners single is bigger than expected.
December 5, 20168 yr This might be unpopular opinion... But James Arthur is releasing new single "Safe Inside" week before Xmass with (as he said) Epic music video and a lot of promotion in UK... I have heard the song from his Back From The Edge album. His vocals are stunning and song is about a family member that you love and worry about. If you make the same mistakes, I will love you either way All I know is I can't live without you There is nothing I can say that will change you anyway Darling, I could never live without you I can't live, I can't live, no, no Like him or not. For anyone that knows anything about todays music. He is serious Xmass #1 contender.
December 5, 20168 yr Surely anyone who knows anything about today's music knows it's virtually impossible for a post-album single to be Christmas Number One in the download era? The only time it's happened was Rage Against The Machine, which hardly counts. Whether James Arthur knows anything is a question for the reader.
December 7, 20168 yr Mariah could be a contender I'm surprised that she isn't on the front page to be honest. She'll pretty much make every Christmas playlist + will probably be relatively early on as it's such an upbeat tune to get people in the mood. I believe she'll at least make it to number one on Spotify...
December 7, 20168 yr Who was the Spotify Xmas no1 last year? Mariah, tommie she's always has been #1 on Spotify on Christmas week! She'll get there earlier this year with the bigger increase so far this month.
December 7, 20168 yr Come on kylie! I need At Christmas to be top 40!!!!!!! Will we get a video or EP on Friday 9th? I think so
