December 21, 20169 yr I'm not really up on this so forgive my question if it's stupid. Is there evidence that the climbs on the official chart last year were due to gift card sales, rather than streaming, end of year playlists, 59p reductions or tv promo?

December 21, 20169 yr cos it keeps being said about certain people. why doesn't it just effect the whole top 40?

December 21, 20169 yr The Vamps are having a decent run in the #25 to#30 zone. Hoping once Xmas is out of the way they may be able to push for Top 20! Whereabouts is Shawn Mendes?
December 21, 20169 yr are there certain songs that get a gift card effect then? acts with big teen fanbases (Little Mix, Shawn Mendes etc.) tend to get bigger gift card boosts, as well as the huge hits of the year. then some songs also climb by default from all the xmas songs dropping off.

With last years gift card effect, loads of old songs re-entered and no new songs entered. I just hope this year that gift card effect can send some new songs into the top 40
December 21, 20169 yr So Louis is 300 copies behind Little Mix and his 2nd week at Top 5 on lock, then?
December 21, 20169 yr James Arthur out of the top 10 :o I think he will overtake Bruno Mars by Friday though
December 21, 20169 yr And that's your lot for this year, there won't be any mids for the next 2 weeks due to Xmas and New Year's Eve hols. Normal services should resume 3/4 January, pending if there is any info out there. Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year, please do not shout for the new thread on Saturday, as info will be very hard to find. Thanks for all your contributions, hope to see everyone back sober in the new year.
