December 17, 20178 yr If the 3 song rule has never been introduced we'd have such a messy week with a chart full of Eminem and XMas songs and almost nothing else
December 17, 20178 yr Completely guessing at this stage but I think Perfect should beat Rockabyes 57k low of last year with the increased promo and mix release - should sell 75k or so with River on 55k and Last Christmas on 40k
December 17, 20178 yr So if 'River' does make #1 this week, would the bookies still have to pay out for people who bet on Ed being Xmas #1? Cos you don't bet on a song, you just bet on an artist - but if that artist is only a feature on the song, does it still count with the bookies?
December 18, 20178 yr At this stage of the week it is looking to me like Ed will do the double - given the number of versions of Perfect out there he clearly has the download advantage so far - and streaming is close. Divide will probably be behind Revival in the midweeks (if we get any info) but it has all ready overtaken Revival in the Amazon Best Sellers - I think the reduction of the standard edition to £6.99 will give Ed the edge though, I think a lot of casual buyers will be tempted by that price for a last minute Xmas present.
December 18, 20178 yr I wanted wham this is a shame hun Me too but also happy for it is keep the crown of best selling #2.
December 18, 20178 yr I think it's the song that matters No it's not, because you bet on an artist being Xmas #1, you don't specify the song

Cos you don't bet on a song, you just bet on an artist - but if that artist is only a feature on the song, does it still count with the bookies? They SHOULD pay out. I bet on Ed but I know Bet365 also had odds for Ed and Beyonce as a joint bet so I assume that would be the Perfect song. It would make them look like arseholes too if they didn’t.
December 18, 20178 yr I still feel Ed Sheeran will do the double. Eminem will start off in the midweeks at Number 1 but Ed Sheeran will sell stronger through the week.
December 18, 20178 yr could enminmen get to no 1 in singles he is ahead of ed in stremaing If Eminem does the double, that would be brilliant but would prefer Wham! to get Xmas #1 single Edited December 18, 20178 yr by Hadji
December 18, 20178 yr could enminmen get to no 1 in singles he is ahead of ed in stremaing No. Ed is miles ahead on downloads and isn’t far behind on streaming. Eminem would need to release versions with Beyoncé and Andrea Bocelli to stand even a slight chance.
December 18, 20178 yr how can Eminem's In Your Head be #13, has to be an error, should be Believe? In Your Head is one of the album tracks doing worst on spotify and middle of the pack on itunes
