Ironically, if Mariah does get to #1 which will be classified as the first #1 of 2019, its the sodding week ending of 3/01/19 OCC go by :lol:

Oh no :(

I mean All I Want For Xmas already feels like a #1 so let’s let the numbers match up then

 

If Ava has to get time at #1 I’d rather it happen at a time where she can be able to get one of the biggest hits of 2019 seeing as that will make up for missing the Xmas #1 relevancy

Surely if a Christmas song goes to #1 on a chart that is technically dated in January, it's only 'embarrassing' (it's not actually) for the public who made it happen. The true embarrassment would be that the UK's official charts company are so intent on pushing their desired chart narrative that they keep moving the goalposts to the point that it's possible for the most streamed & downloaded song of the week to not be #1. You'll get to the point that the #40 song in the country officially is really just the #300 song in reality. Just make a Hot Singles chart like they have in New Zealand for the people who really want to find out which new songs are making an impression and deal with reality on the official chart.

I really do want All I want for Christmas to be a number 1 but would have preferred it to have been the week gone but il still take it if it does get there. My only thing is it would go from number 1 to out of the Top 100 with how it falls in that the Christmas songs vanish.

I do agree all i want for Christmas feels like a number one as do so many of the Christmas songs that never made the top spot. But it would be nice for the annual front runner of the songs to actually be one that has made number 1.

HH needs updating, last time it was updated was 10 days ago

 

Posty's Wow is track #1 on both Today's Top Hits and Pop Rising though

Most Christmas songs have gone to number 1 on a chart dated in January the official chart was always dated the Saturday after the Sunday chart was announced so why is this an issue now?

Probably because we are in the streaming era. In the physical era you listened to what you had brought or the radio, now as we can see from streaming xmas songs are dropped like a sack of spuds on boxing day. In the past people didn't have the choice to switch music so quickly.

The problem is with the dates the OCC use, but it’s really not abnormal when you think that this covers the Christmas week. Really the chart date should be the week ENDING that Friday and not commencing it.

30 re-entries!

 

1. Ariana

2. Ava

3. Halsey

4. Mariah

5. Post (Sunflower)

6. Post (Wow)

7. Wham

8. Mark/Miley

9-13 Xmas song

14. Zara

20. The Greatest Show! (Where did this peak on spotify?)

22. This Is Me

30. A Million Dreams

36. Rewrite The Stars (Zac/Zendaya, one place above the reimagined version!!)

42. Shallow

43. Never Enough

46. OMS/48. Underneath The Tree

Mariah still as high as 4! Number 1 wrapped up?

Ariana back at #1 with 'thank u, next' and #29 with 'imagine', but with extremely low numbers (370k for #1)

Just highlights the complete commercialism that Christmas is when Christmas songs on 28th December is seen as out of date.

 

Do people take down their decorations Boxing Day morning?

Surprised to see Leona still getting 111k streams for One More Sleep yesterday.

Hopefully shes done enough to get top 15 in tomorrows charts.

Hopefully in tomorrow’s update, all the Xmas songs will clear out of the top 50

All the buzzjack grinches who have done nothing but moan for 3 weeks will be happy in that case then.

It's kinda interesting that people are streaming AIWFCIY for 5 weeks before Xmas but drop it the minute after.

 

The anticipation IS big part of the holidays though, it was as a kid and it is still now.

Hopefully people will respect the true meaning of Christmas and keep the songs in the Top 50 until January 6th :D
