December 2, 20186 yr Author They should put Wham! at the top of Xmas playlists for once. AIWFCIY is one of those songs that if I was DJing in a bar or club near Xmas, I would refuse to play that songThey are... As of now, Wham! is literally top of the Christmas Is Coming playlist. They're also #2 on Christmas Hits and #6 on Christmas Crackers.
December 2, 20186 yr Just a quick question. How much will the inclusion of video views off-set the drop in streams from ACR? I have a feeling there'll be more Christmas songs in the top 40/100 than people think, although not as many as last year.

Video streams are on ACR as well so it'll be just as cancelled out as the audio streams.
December 3, 20186 yr Author 19 Christmas tracks in the midweek update: 7 Mariah Carey - All I Want.. 16 Wham! - Last Christmas 28 The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York 38 Band Aid - Do They Know.. 39 Michael Bublé - It's Beginning.. 47 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around.. 51 Shakin Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone 53 Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me 60 Wizzard - I Wish It Could.. 62 Elton John - Step Into Christmas 63 Chris Rea - Driving Home.. 64 Leona Lewis - One More Sleep 76 John & Yoko - Happy Xmas 78 Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody 79 Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime 86 Justin Bieber - Mistletoe 94 Andy Williams - Most Wonderful Time.. 96 Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree 98 Michael Bublé - Holly Jolly Christmas This time last year we had 24 in the official chart (the top 6 were reset and the rest were on ACR at this point) 5 Mariah Carey - All I Want.. 6 Wham! - Last Christmas 10 The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York 16 Band Aid - Do They Know.. 21 Shakin Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone 24 Wizzard - I Wish It Could.. 42 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around.. 45 Michael Bublé - It's Beginning.. 60 Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me 62 Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody 63 Elton John - Step Into Christmas 68 Chris Rea - Driving Home.. 74 Justin Bieber - Mistletoe 75 Leona Lewis - One More Sleep 76 John & Yoko - Happy Xmas 78 Sia - Santa's Coming For Us 79 Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime 80 Andy Williams - Most Wonderful Time.. 83 Coldplay - Christmas Lights 84 Bing Crosby - White Christmas 91 Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree 96 Michael Bublé - Holly Jolly Christmas 97 Boney M. - Mary's Boy Child 98 Kylie Minogue - Santa Baby Looks like the Christmas effect won't be as big this year although the midweek update is missing streaming so a few more may get in by the end of the week. Good to see Leona improving year-on-year anyhow.
December 4, 20186 yr Author Won't list them all again but we now have 25 Christmas songs in the chart update, including... Katy Perry's 'Cozy Little Christmas' (!), looks like the Sunday streams really pushed the tracks up, it may calm down a bit by Friday.
December 4, 20186 yr Is the reason Wizzard is doing so badly this year just because of playlists!? Ariana also nearly 30 places higher!
December 4, 20186 yr Author Wizzard aren't doing badly at all, they're #42 in today's mid update, Ariana is #37. They're relatively low on Spotify because of playlists but good Apple Music streams are making up for it.
December 4, 20186 yr Yeh probably many many download versions combined too. Was at 24 this time last year!

December 7, 20186 yr Just leave t as it is, it's fine for like 4 weeks when they are actually popular because everyone is in the spirit of the season!!
December 7, 20186 yr Author I quite like having all the Christmas songs return but I bet the record labels are annoyed that they won't be able to push new material into the chart in December so they'll probably force the OCC's hand into removing them all next year. :rolleyes:

December 14, 20186 yr Author so that's 12 top 40 and 33 in the top 100 and that's still 2 weeks from the chart we're all waiting for! looks like my prediction of between 16-20 is likely. this time last year we had 17 top 40 and 29 top 100 so ACR is very much doing its job at the top end.
December 14, 20186 yr The equivalent chart last year had 17 Xmas songs in the top 40, only 12 this time around.
December 14, 20186 yr Wow didn't realise Santas Cominng For Us by Sia was too 75?! Would Mariah be no1 if she was on SCR?
