It didn't last year. If streaming stays the same but iTunes sales rise, it's bound to have an effect.

So who do we think is going to get the gift card boost (Even though the gift card effect seems less and less each year).

 

I think the following could do well -

 

The Vamps - All Night

Niall - This Town

Louisa Johnson - So Good

James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go

Charli XCX - After The Afterparty

Drake - Fake Love

 

The Vamps 57 :cheer:

Niall 87

Louisa 11

James Arthur 15

Charli XCX 25

Drake 28

Most songs have mutiple versions - I'll probably do a combined update later if nobody else has done one by then and there you'll see that some boosts songs've had are a lot bigger than they look, easily big enough to help them climb a couple of places in the chart!

all we want for christmas is 24K Magic *.*

The main gift card effect seems to just be Clean Bandit pulling well ahead again - Rag'n'Bone Man has dropped from 0.9421 to 0.6715 in a single update. Another few weeks at the top for 'Rockabye' probably :P Although I think/hope 'Human' can sneak in a week or two after that.

G'won Clean Bandit *.*

 

The Chainsmokers sleighing from gift cards too *__*

Wow at some songs having crazy boosts! :o

Typical for it to benefit one of the worst songs this year :( (Closer)

CB with huge update. Another week for sure. Drake also with hugh jump.

I think the 3 songs benefitting most are

Little Mix Shout Out To My Ex

Louisa Johnson So Good

The Chainsmokers Closer

Also, are CB still to perform on TOTP?

The Vamps now up to #47, the song should finally make a top 20 impact this coming week now that they're doing well on streaming too.

Really hope this goes Top 20 - wish they had waited until this week for the 59p reduction.

19 - Honey G :lol: :lol: Likely to flop hard then!

Oh PISS OFF Chainsmokers :puke2:

 

I actually think 'Rockabye' could be #01 until Ed Sheeran releases his new single :lol:

Give it chance :lol: It won't benefit from the gift card effect so I wouldn't totally write it off until after the quiet January period is over tbh!
