They're performing together on Strictly final too.

 

You're kidding right? Please say you are

You're kidding right? Please say you are

 

Plus, Ed Sheeran steps up to the stage for a very special performance.

 

 

Beyonce ain't gonna be on Strictly so I can't see this meaning anything else?

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 ;)

Once Apple do away with their itunes downloads this is pretty much what will happen. Instead of X Factor winners getting the xmas #1 by default it'll be Mariah every year now :lol:

Yass go on Mariah!!!!

I believe Liam's doing the update but in the meantime... Mariah Carey looks set to return to her original peak of #2 *_*

Bing Actual Crosby returning to the top 40 too. *_* Although this update is quite skewed towards Christmas songs which benefit well from the weekend effect, so he may not make it. Would be quite something to hear a song from 1942 being played on Radio 1 though.

Clean bandit symphony out top 40 today update

Is the most wonderful time of the year I thought Michael Bublé

Any update for U2’s Song of experiences,thanks

Is Havana set to climb in sales this week and avoid ACR or is it likely to drop

Edited December 12, 20178 yr by CardiiB

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.

Realistically other than charity tracks and X factor has anyone big released anything in December anyway (uptown funk aside) I think the record companies realise this

The key players are still making the money off whatever sells. And it's less risky with upfront costs for those songs on dim and distant balance sheets. They'll possibly dominate for a few years, like X Factor did for a few years, and charity songs before that....until something new comes along and shifts the axis again (which will happen).

 

I'll enjoy it for a month each year while it lasts.

 

Rak-Su are holding up better than what Matt Terry and Louisa Johnson did

Don’t know what to make of Mariah repeaking at no2. I remember when she got there in the 90s but it seems bit crazy that she might end up at no2 again this week after all these years and largely down to streaming. It doesn’t seem right but at least the X factor winner has dropped!

It has been played on Radio 1 at least a few times in recent years.

Leona dropping :(

Her streaming isn't quite good enough at the moment, currently just top 100 on Spotify. She did make it to #74 last year though so she should make the chart (but not top 50) again following Christmas.

 

Oh and I should add that I'm talking about her song 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' - I know you love 'All Alone On Christmas', that hasn't made the Spotify top 200 this year yet.

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.

 

Yeh I stated this in another topic last week - seems it's a lot to do with his iconic status in uk music as the years went by (Step was released in 1973) and so it's obvious inclusion in a lot of xmas collections over the years - it may also have been used in an ad in the 90s?
