December 11, 20178 yr The problem I have with it is that for an entire month nothing else is even going to get a look in, and it's only going to get worse year-on-year.
December 11, 20178 yr I'm here for it tbh. It's only 2/3 weeks. I feel like it gets everyone in the festive mood :wub: And I'm pleased the likes of Ariana and Leona are starting to get up there with the classics with their own original hits. Hopefully Kelly can re enter the top 40 at some point this year!
December 11, 20178 yr This one got to #2 on its original release after John Lennon's death so not quite! It's kind of astonishing how Elton John's track has turned into one of the biggest Christmas classics (and seemingly increasing in popularity every year) after how low it peaked originally, same with Chris Rea. And yet we are still waiting for Greg Lake's festive masterpiece to return to the top forty :(
December 12, 20178 yr How John Lennon & Yoko Ono's Cats In A Bag Being Thrown Against A Wall are getting so high is beyond me. There must be more constructive ways to make your ears bleed?
December 12, 20178 yr The problem I have with it is that for an entire month nothing else is even going to get a look in, and it's only going to get worse year-on-year. Over half the top 40 are still non-xmas related songs and i imagine the xmas stuff will start dropping again now we are past the weekend. I like seeing the songs in the chart though, it’s only for a few weeks and there are rarely loads of big single releases this time of year (except charity and xmas #1 contenders). What I am dreading is right after Christmas when everyone plays their 2017 in music playlists and shape of you returns to the top 20 for another 2 months :cry:
December 12, 20178 yr shouldn't the chart reflect just whats most popular each week.. though a limit on the number of tracks from an act i think is necessary per week. i think Sunday's big snow probably helped the Xmas songs
December 12, 20178 yr Ed Sheeran's is releasing anoother version of Perfect this week. This tim featuring Andrea Bocelli, I wonder will he be credited....
December 12, 20178 yr So I guess we'll be getting new versions of Perfect for eternity then. I always suspected the end of the world would take place during my lifetime, I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

December 12, 20178 yr just a thought, if the occ doesn't do something could Mariah's all I Want for XMas, be #1, EVERY YEAR!!!!!???!!!! Like we could have the xmas #1 sorted forever ;)
December 12, 20178 yr Who tf is Andrea Bocelli? Oh dear. He has 9 top ten albums for starters Edited December 12, 20178 yr by SKOB
December 12, 20178 yr Absolute classic Leona heading back to the top 40 where it belongs. Now all it needs is Kelly to join it. Nation's sweetheart Ariana there too. Best Christmas ever.
December 12, 20178 yr So I guess we'll be getting new versions of Perfect for eternity then. I always suspected the end of the world would take place during my lifetime, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. Yay. I mean, I don't even want one version of it but yay.
December 12, 20178 yr just a thought, if the occ doesn't do something could Mariah's all I Want for XMas, be #1, EVERY YEAR!!!!!???!!!! Like we could have the xmas #1 sorted forever ;) I doubt it highly. Once she gets to number 1, other christmas songs who haven't hit 1 will overtake her. Plus the circumstances have to be just right as she (and many others) have a limited amount of weeks to achieve it.
