The hype died when everyone released it was a crap?

I never said it was good, but I did expect it to be doing better considering it was a charity single like so many others charting this week.

You've probably answered your own question there - the charity market is so overly saturated now that there is only so many charity songs that can have a hype to really sustain. The one that has taken off (media wise) is the Jo Cox one. I guess had the market not been so flooded with songs for a charity then I guess it could've stood a better chance.

 

 

13. The London Hospices Choir & Paul Carrack - The Living Years

21. James Shinny Davenport - Christmas Number 1

23. Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5

27. Liv 'N' G - Our Superhero (A Christmas Wish)

34. Friends of Jo Cox - You Can't Always Get What You Want (feat. MP4, Steve Harley, Ricky Wilson, David Gray & KT Tunstall) [Edit]

35. The Everly Pregnant Brothers - Chip Pan

52. Terry Wogan - The Floral Dance

60. Chris Brown - Party (feat. Gucci Mane & Usher)

87. The King Lot - Wings (feat. The Jollyboys)

185. Nathan Sykes - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

537. Galantis - Pillow Fight

 

I knew Galantis was going to struggle against the Christmas releases. They should have just waited until January to release a new single.

Very strange performance from Jo Cox so far.

 

Spent all night climbing 51-50-49. Then it suddenly jumped to 35 and has now spent the last hour going 35-34-33 :lol:

17. Grace (Green Brigade) - Glasnevin

20. Christmas Number 1 - James Shinny Davenport

39. Chip Pan - The Everly Pregnant Brothers

What a miserable state of affairs that the only major new releases on Xmas week these days are just charity songs and campaigns. It does highlight the fact that the Xmas #1 has become a bit irrelevant since the X Factor wrecked the concept. The last great Xmas battle with loads of contenders was in 2003, when so many tracks came out that week, many of them with a Christmas link.

 

Still waiting for someone to answer this for me. :unsure:

 

It just didn't catch the public's attention enough. The advert has been hammered so it's had plenty of exposure from that.

 

It sounds like Scouting For Girls covering something from High School Musical which doesn't help, as that sound is a decade old now.

I think iTunes froze for a good while earlier, which might explain the jump somewhat.

That Glasnevin act, keep on thinking its Glasvegas under a different moniker

it's early but atm there isn't a mass backing for the charity singles

The music video for the single was released two hours ago

 

 

 

I just had to see what the fuss was all about with the Everly Pregnant Brothers track, its actually Chip Pan On Fire :lol: its awful, whoever is downloading it needs shooting :nocheer:

I did preview it expecting some sentimental charity type song, only to find it was some parody of 'Sex On Fire' :lol:

Also if a charity track does go to #1 for a week, there is a slim possibility Clean Bandit going back to #1 the week after, with the two episodes of TOTP, the Xmas show they are performing with Anne Marie and Sean Paul, while the new year's eve show with Louisa Johnson. So I rather have Clean Bandit at #1 next week than having a break in between.

14. Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5 (also #89, #101, #147)

 

^ probably close to the itunes top 10 combined! great song tbh

 

Jo Cox single up to #22

I would have preferred 'This Is How It Feels', a true 90s indie classic :wub:

Why on earth have Jo Cox's "friends" (which apparently includes KT Tunstall) covered a song significantly associated with Donald Trump's election victory last month?

 

It's also horrifically bad - like going to karaoke and a bunch of drunks getting up to have a sing song and thinking they're really funny when really you need ear plugs.

 

These charity Christmas Number 1 campaigns are just dire. I don't get how it used to be a DSQ factor in the past to bulk buy singles (the ultimate fan base buy) and yet this is okay, I mean, is anyone actually going to listen to it? One of the many reasons streaming being included in the chart is essential.

When is mariahs car karaoke coming out?

Is the Jo Cox thing not going to be on spotify?
