December 23, 20169 yr Yeah congrats everyone (especially Jack, looks like you'll have a great Christmas what with £2500 in pocket!), and thankyou to all the chart mods for all the effort you've put in to this thread this year! Been a lot of fun following the charts and commenting in this thread weekly, lets hope 2017 is an even better year :cheer: And merry christmas to everyone :D
December 24, 20169 yr Not really without pre orders not showing if any had any etc and the previous years campaign with media making big deal in previous years etc a week ago clean bandit looked like a long shot but it shows the public are growing tired of these heck before the first mid weeks I would have thought the campaigns one of them had a chance it's why over the week odds have been slashed as it became more obvious But congratulations on your winnings Same here because CBs sales have been low for 2/3 weeks now so I would have thought if anything took off it would have sold enough to be no1 but I suppose 25/1 is an oversight for a song still at no1 and doing 350-400k streams per day (although the bookies wouldn't have realised the latter)!
December 24, 20169 yr The baby in the single cover for Rockabye looks in the small image version like it has a watermelon for a head, but I assume it is a green marble?

December 25, 20169 yr Well many congrats to Clean Bandit achieving what I thought would never happen again for a Xmas #1, particularly after what happened last year. They could easily rack up 10 weeks at #1 now, would take something on a Cold Water scale to knock them off (maybe the new ML track who knows?)
December 25, 20169 yr The fact it's an incredible record makes their reign at the top even sweeter imo :D
December 25, 20169 yr I still think Rag'N' Bone Man will knock them down in January so I think one more week or maybe 2 for CB and then a new number 1.
