When you're a working man/woman Christmas is basically a three day bank holiday. Unless you squander your annual leave on days like today and have to live with the knowledge that you're not getting any more time off for at least a couple of months. So for me personally as someone who had to go to work today Christmas is well and truly over.

I had to work today and I’m not being bitter about it. Christmas Day may be over but the festive season is not. I genuinely feel like we’re going in circles atm about Christmas song longevity.

Mariah still doing enough streams to keep her relevant and possibly no1 on tomorrow's chart!

no new NMF this week?

In the US, Post Malone has the top 2 today, surprised it's not the same in the UK

 

Why? :huh:

Mariah the only Christmas song still in the top 50- 104.598 streams yesterday

32. Jax Years - Play

 

:jump:

so Mariah is down to #41 with 104K

was expecting a bit higher based on last year, so good luck OCC :D

Same top 3 as yesterday

11. Keala

12. The Greatest Show

19. A Million Dreams

21. The superior Rewrite The Stars

25. Shallow

29. Never Enough

35. The Other Side

51. Come Alive

54. From Now On

98. Tightrope (screaming at this nearly being overtaken by the reprises!!)

104. A Million Dreams (reprise)

133. Never Enough (reprise)

 

Could The Greatest Show be the next song to be robbed off a new peak if it doesn't reset to SCR??? It's 12 on spotify & 17 on itunes atm but peaked at 20 iirc officially

 

Come Alive is also 51 and under 1k away from the top 50 :( Shook at TGS still slaying *.*

#4 Sunflower

#5 wow

 

all songs from The Greatest Showman big climbing

Unless you squander your annual leave on days like today and have to live with the knowledge that you're not getting any more time off for at least a couple of months.

You say squander, I say plan well because you feel you deserve a nice long break at the end of the year and can still go on multiple breaks a year.

#Justice4Tightrope

I'm honestly shocked and astounded that 'From Now On' doesn't do better? It's at such a pivitol moment in the movie and it's a fan fave from what I can tell.

 

Is it coz it's so far down the tracklist!

Haha I think it's chart positions here are starting to finally reflect its popularity. Iirc for like the first half of the year, From Now On was always around where Tightrope was and was miles behind the others but now it's starting to catch up to the other songs a bit (whilst Tightrope gets left in the dust haha)!

 

I also feel FNO is one of those songs that's more of a moment in the film but not one of those tracks that you want to rush to listen to after seeing the film :kink:

09. Zara Larsson - Ruin My Life

 

:cheer:

Great to see Jax well inside the top 50 now.

Brilliant to see Hurts Like Hell climbing, think that could be pretty big if pushed further!

Interesting to see 'The Greatest Show' only now competing with 'This Is Me' to be the most streamed TGS song, has it suddenly got a bunch more playlist support or something? Still the best song from the soundtrack.
