I think she was called Chloe Mafia when on X Factor (and Snog Marry Avoid *_*) - I can't imagine this cover being anything but awful :lol:

She was the one who turned up wearing just a bra & only got through to the next stage cos Simon voted with his eyes (and something else).

 

I think we can safely say the Xmas campaign #1 brigade is over after they all flopped last year.

Yeah that going to sound woeful for sure. She appeared on celebrity bb last year as well & I doubt she'll have much supporters because unlike Megan she doesn't have a good voice at all :lol:

 

I'm thinking Wham is the better bet this year but I'd prefer Mariah got there. If not a Christmas track or X factor etc then it'll probably be Ed Sheeran :drama: (although he could be on ACR again by then)

Last year Clean Bandit were tipped by many on here to do it, defying bookmaker and industry expectations due to the impact of the relatively new streaming era. Wonder who the similar call would be this year? Probably Rita or Camila Cabello?
Maybe we could add a poll? Depending on the ACR thing Wham and Mariah have a chance - when's the chart - 22/12?
Ed Sheeran, depending on how much a boost he gets from his XF performance. I really hope not though.

So Wham are favourites??

 

Not many charity/campaigns on there so far!

Idk a charity single could easily spring up from nowhere and take it between now and Christmas. They still have a big effect when the cause/issue is still fresh in people's minds, just look at Artists for Grenfell. I think the Jo Cox single unfortunately just waited too long to release it.

 

Having said that, Rita Ora at 25/1 is very tempting, I chickened out with Clean Bandit last year after what happened with the NHS Choir the year before, so perhaps I shouldn't be as scared this time.

Seems to be some confusion on if the classic Xmas singles will be affected by ACR in the run up to Christmas?

 

My understanding was that if a song has had a sales increase week on week, then it will not be hit by ACR and all streams will count as usual at the 150:1 ratio.

 

Is this correct? In the iTunes thread, I saw someone say different...

 

I have Mariah at 50/1 with £10 so I’m anxious! Haha

Rita is a very good shout but it's worth waiting to see just how big an impact X Factor has on Perfect. If it can keep increasing its sales just enough to avoid ACR on Xmas week I'd say that's a more appealing option.

This is my thinking too. I will leave it until Sunday.
