Be interesting to see if Leona stays on ACR with One More Sleep, she is performing it tonight with Scarlett on X Factor, surely that counts as 'Active Promo'.

 

It is indeed "Active promo" well to us it is, But apparently Syco need to ask for it to be taken off ACR or something. God knows so confusing none of us even know what active promo is in their eyes.

I’d be happy if “Saviour’s Day” was re-entering the top 40 every year instead of AIWFCIY

What's the advertised Christmas playlist there in uk spotify ?

The Christmas fever on Spotify gets more and more extreme every year! Eight Christmas songs in the top ten on the first day of December?!

 

Last year it took until 10th December for eight Christmas songs to make the top ten.

Streams are low at the moment though!

Britney!!

"Santa Tell Me" is a tragic excuse for a Christmas song, boo at it being higher than the brilliant "Fairytale of New York". (which is criminally low, as if f***ing BRENDA LEE has more streams than it :()

What's the advertised Christmas playlist there in uk spotify ?

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXaGCh33lYU9t

 

'Christmas Crackers' is the first one that was advertised to me, it is definitely aimed at the UK.

Christmas songs in the chart that aren't on ACR forever:

 

#93 Sia - Santa's Coming For Us

#109 Brett Elderedge - Baby, It's Cold Outside (feat. Meghan Trainor)

#115 98º - What Christmas Means To Me

#118 Olivia Holt - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

#146 Gwen Stefani - You Make It Feel Like Christmas (feat. Blake Shelton)

#160 Matt Terry - When Christmas Comes Around

What about ‘My Only Wish’ as it’s never charted?

As I expected for the 1st December but didn't foresee well over 500k plus all the other tracks being

On there. They'll fall quite quickly from Monday I imagine. But climb at weekends.

 

Can't wait to see AIWFCIYs streams this Xmas day!

 

Shaky & Wizzard slightly underperforming!!

What about ‘My Only Wish’ as it’s never charted?

The rule extends to all songs older than 3 years whether they have charted or not.

Whaaaat! Santa Tell Me is amazing!

It feels too much like a normal Ariana track, doesn't have that proper Christmas party vibe that most of the old Christmas songs do imo :D

Edited December 2, 20186 yr by mdh

Agree totally - compare it to 2 other new Xmas hits e.g. Leona and Kelly Clarkson, sound very seasonal!

Santa Tell Me is growing for me but I agree it's not quite as good as many of the classics.

 

Not surprised at all that it's doing so well though especially with 2018 being her biggest year yet. Should easily get a new official chart peak despite its ACR status.

The rule extends to all songs older than 3 years whether they have charted or not.

Oh that’s silly. Not that it would ever chart anyway.

"Santa Tell Me" is a tragic excuse for a Christmas song, boo at it being higher than the brilliant "Fairytale of New York". (which is criminally low, as if f***ing BRENDA LEE has more streams than it :()

 

Poor Brenda aside, I agree with this. It's only charting so high based on Ari's relevance/star power at the moment, rather than the song's merit. Hopefully in a few years Ari can make a more festive Xmas song which can replace STM. I don't want it amongst the elite Christmas songs in years to come. :unsure:

It’s nice to see a different song by Mariah entering the top 200. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is also superior to AIWFC.
