Is Mariah going to smash 1 million? :o

Still, I don't bother disliking xmas songs as they last 3 weeks max each year.

 

Probably more like 5 weeks I'd say.

THIS, they won't be heard of until mid September again on here (in the iTunes chart) and November on radio/tv once we get to next weekend.

712k is fine for Mariah for a Saturday - it's its highest point of the year so far and Sunday's will be 650k then Xmas eve and day will be closer to 1million. Still a great shout of no1 imo. Ariana Santa Tell Me about to over take the current hit for the first time! Indeed the top 6 selling more than the normal no1 currently.

 

Santas Coming For Us up to 58 today and Candy Cane Lane at 158!

This time last year Mariah did 569,960 (and Wham did 571,858), so it definitely seems likely she'll smash her last year Christmas Day streams (which were 1,299,377).

Happy days was wondering what the comparison was so well ahead at present, this weeks chart will be interesting!

What masochists would abuse their ears listening to that Sia screaming crap?? :(

 

Me it's a great album!

It is the worst Christmas album EEEVER put to record. I've never heard anything as bad as it in me loife!!

The world is about opinions which should be respected :P

Santa's Coming For Us is great but I took a listen to Candy Cane Lane the other day and I have to agree with the 'crap' comment on that one. :no:

I like Candy Cane Lane, heard it a few times on ads this year so think it could be a future recurring track. Some of the slower songs are lovely too like Snowman and Snowflake!

Tbh I have a campaign idea for it: promote it to the deaf!

At least Sia's are original songs (even if no one understands a word of what she's saying)

much prefer that to lazy covers like the Buble album

Well this is true that's why I loved it a lot when I first heard the album last year!

 

However I do like a bit of Buble too!

Santa's Coming for Us is brilliant, up there with Santa Tell Me as the "future Xmas classics"

I presume in 10 years time Christmas songs will still be popular. So it will still be the same old Christmas songs that we have now? At that stage AIWFCIY will be 34 years old. There are no real newer Christmas songs coming along that are really popular. You could say Santa Tell Me/One More Sleep, but the vast majority of people haven't heard of them now. And if they're not popular now I can't see them turning into big popular Christmas songs in the future?

Both traah, screwchy SCFU is flopping as no one likes it.

 

Leona Lewis and Coldplay have the two new classics actually, and both are high quality, not dirge.

 

I usually like Sia, but when I heard her vocals on Santa's Coming for Us, I actually burst out laughing. No Sia, just...no.

How are they not popular though? Certainly in the UK I wouldn't say "the vast majority of people" haven't heard them. Santa Tell Me reached a new all-time peak this year, and OMS is on its way to a new post-release peak and has reached new post-release peaks on streaming services, iTunes and airplay charts. They're growing year by year and I can definitely see them becoming bona fide classics.
