Top 100 Singles

 

1 Ed Sheeran - Perfect 23,362

2 Rak-Su feat. Wyclef Jean & Naughty Boy - Dimelo 13,028

3 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You 12,724

 

Poor Mariah, so far from no.1 :(

 

An poor Paloma too, same thing. Sam Smith for no.1 then!

Half of the official top 40 singles chart is awashed with Christmas songs :drama: hopefully some will drop fast later in the week.

 

They won't, it will only increase for the next two weeks.

I am so pleased Leona is in the Top 40 again, this has all the makings of a Christmas classic.

They won't, it will only increase for the next two weeks.

 

 

I was using hopefully a bit loose ^_^ its going to be a regular thing every xmas now.

Could you put the correct figure for P!nk please?

 

1 Ed Sheeran - ÷ 29,877

2 Sam Smith - The Thrill Of It All 26,998

3 P!nk - Beautiful Trauma 26,998

 

(unless this is the correct figure and Sam sold the same as her)

Until the OCC make up a brand new chart rule to exclude all Christmas songs from the chart and put them in their own Christmas Chart, or limit the number of eligible Christmas songs. Which I think may actually happen otherwise we're going to have the same 20+ odd songs in the top 40 every Christmas, rather than just the same 5-10.

oopsy daisy, posted the same sales twice :( sorted now.

That Chart is beautiful *_*

 

Jona Lewie cracking the top 40 would make my year!

I wouldn't mind them if they were in the xmas chart week to give the chart a festive feel for a week.

Awww delighted for our Leona!

Yes I see this happening too, I do kind of hope that certain ones can peak at number 1 before that happens though. Torn between a rock and a hard place on this one :)

Great to see Leona at #35 in the midweeks - I hope she can climb further. Guessing she'll be able to go top 20 this year at this rate *_*

 

Surprised to see P!nk and Paloma at #3 & #4 in the album chart :wub:

Leona re-entering the top 40 at last! Hopefully it manages to remain top 40 this week and only climbs from now til Christmas.

 

Hopefully Kelly will re-enter too at some point and climb higher than #30.

What's so wrong with Christmas songs clogging up the charts in December?? I'm sick of the lack of Christmas songs that appear..... the more the merrier! At least listening to the charts will feel like Christmas as it should! ..... a Christmas song might actually get Christmas number 1 God forbid! 😂🎄

Is it time to do a separate catalogue singles chart? If iTunes switch off downloads in the next year or two, the top 40 is going to be completely dominated by Christmas songs every December.

 

It doesn't even mean anything. It's just people going to Spotify's Christmas playlist and hitting play. Kurt Nilsen and 98 Degrees are in the top 100 for goodness sake!

I really dislike recurrent rules/catalogue charts, so I would hope it's never considered. I mean the chart is meant to reflect popularity and Christmas songs are popular for one month a year. Don't think it's that big of a deal.

 

I mean you could argue that a large amount of streams for a lot of songs are people just clicking play on popular spotify playlists without seeking out the songs individually. No different than clicking a Christmas playlist.

If they did a Christmas chart, for 11 months of the year it'd be pointless. Plus if that's what everyone is listening to in December, the main chart should reflect that. It's only for 1 month of the year anyway. Long shall they remain! :magic:

 

EDIT: too slow

I like seeing Christmas songs, but on THIS ridiculous level though? Really?

 

 

Paloma is doing amazingly. I know she's always been a consistent and strong album seller but for the first time not one of the singles has made a particularly big impact so I was unsure if the album would just slide away quicker.

 

If it can stay in the top 10 over Christmas that should give it some bumper sales!
