Would that price not mean it would chart on the budget chart?

 

Only if the dealer price is below a certain amount - it’s being sold directly by Amazon rather than a 3rd party seller, maybe they are using the opportunity to clear through overstocks?

Likely to clear overstocks, would those sales count towards the official chart?

Yes retailers can sell for any price they like, as long as the dealer price hasn’t been lowered then they’ll count towards the main chart. They are also being sold directly from Amazon so will definitely count.

Great to see this is becoming a Christmas staple outside of the UK :cheer:

Very much so, between these countries, the UK and Ireland it will help it become a very staple hit.

How has Santa Baby performed in Australia?

It is indeed nice to see her reach the single charts in those countries (as her last entry was a while ago in all of them). As far as I know it didn't reach the Australian top 100. Not 100% sure though!

That's disappointing for australia.

I think the whole Golden era has been a bit disappointing tbh in Australia so no surprise SB struggled - hopefully the tour helps the album pick up interest in the album.

Hopefully it does unlike Ireland where it had no impact at all :cry:

I think it would have no impact, the tour has been scaled down because Kylie is only really doing it for her fans in Australia. Australia, as a market, has abandoned Kylie a long time ago.

Had a re-listen to this today and I wish they just stuck to the idea of a disco-infused Christmas album and ditched most of the dreary ballads. The album doesn't get going until 'Christmas Wrapping' for me but there's still some trimming to be made from this point too.

 

I can see why they recorded cover songs but I'd rather more originals. Songs like '100 Degrees', 'White December' and 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here' all really shine and an album worth of material like this would have been fantastic. A shame they didn't rectify this with the extended Snow Queen edition.

 

This is how the album has been performing on digital formats:

 

iTunes:

#222 United Kingdom

Apple Music:

#300 Ireland

#659 United Kingdom

Christmas Isnt Christmas should have been the lead single off this album. Its a classic fun festive tune

A disco infused Christmas album would have worked and a route they could have done successfully.

 

Would have been interesting, maybe if she does a 2nd christmas album she will go that route.

Wish they would give this a tiny push each year (Leona has had adverts on Instagram to stream OMS). I did however see the CD prominently displayed in HMV.

Ya me too especially when she is out promoting, it would be good if it was an annual trickle seller.

Just noticed 'Every Day's Like Christmas' sneaking in at the bottom of the iTunes Top 1500, placing at #1336. I guess being highlighted on the Official Charts' list of new Christmas 'classics' may have spurred a few sales?

Yes its been there a couple of days

 

Thing is with Kylie, she doesnt need to promote Xmas songs too much as she is releasing new music and new CDs etc,

 

Leona and Mariah are reliant on their Xmas hits at the moment.

True,,without their christmas song each both leona and mariah are struggling to get in the charts but they are lucky both have brill christmas songs, both all I want for christmas and one more sleep are miles better than Santa baby or anything on kylie christmas.
