December 20, 20187 yr I wonder if this will increase sausage roll sales this Christmas. :) *Waits for song to become the Greggs anthem on all tv ads*
December 20, 20187 yr I mean, the LadBaby artwork did make me laugh. Good on him. You think anyone accidently bought it thinking it was a michael buble track :lol:
December 20, 20187 yr Keep seeing gift card effect - is that even a thing anymore?! It’s a bit 2006 tbh
December 20, 20187 yr I would have never thought that Ariana was in danger this week in the first place but I think the release of Imagine might have hurt TUN just too much. It's a surprising week for sure. Yeh true, there's also no doubt that the reason Ariana has spent so long at the top is because the video came a few weeks later and caused renewed interest! It added at least 3 week to the no1 length!
December 20, 20187 yr Keep seeing gift card effect - is that even a thing anymore?! It’s a bit 2006 tbh This question is asked numerous times every year and it's proven to still exist - see Big Shaq making iTunes #1 last Christmas
December 20, 20187 yr Keep seeing gift card effect - is that even a thing anymore?! It’s a bit 2006 tbhYeah. iTunes gift cards still sell incredibly well where I work. Older songs (typically "best of the year")/discounted songs tend to do well and benefit a lot.
December 20, 20187 yr *Waits for song to become the Greggs anthem on all tv ads* :lol: it def will! Is Buble Christmas no6? If so how many sales is it off 5?
December 20, 20187 yr Just realised that TGS has hugely gained sales as the weeks went on: Monday 24k Tuesday 32k Wednesday 42k Thursday 55k
December 20, 20187 yr I can see how someone would associate Ava with that Gaga era but I'd argue that "Sweet But Psycho" doesn't take more than a tiny bit of influence, if any, from "Poker Face". It's definitely unique enough for someone to listen to the song 10 times without noticing any Gaga similarities. :blink: Question one: You high? Lady GaGa should have been credited. Everyone here on the FIRST LISTEN!!!!! said GaGa. Does anyone know what number Cher is in the albums? Thank you! See? Why canae we all be more like Stephen? Instead of arguing over who is and isn't and who deserves no.1, we could be like Stephen and ask about Cher and Glastonberry headliner Kylie Minouglue! By the way, where is Glastonberry headliner Kylie Minogue? That's what it's all about, Xmas No1 historically has never been too serious. Think the last great No1 was Spice Girls personally. Omg ... THIS! :cheer: Can I also just say thanks to all the chart mods for all their hard week bringing this thread topic to you every week and all your contributions. I don't think there will be any mids in the next fortnight with Christmas and New Years Day falling on a Tuesday. iTunes and Spotify topics will be your best friend, I expect normal services will resume the week of 7 January 2019. If we have any info it will be posted when its available. In the meantime can I say to everyone have a nice Christmas and a happy new year and thanks to all members who have contributed to this year's xmas chart. 20 pages+ well done guys. No wait, THIS!! :cheer: Thank you, chart mods!! Sausage rolls aren’t even nice, ugh! why cant the vegans have an uprising and buy Sweet but Psycho :angry: Actually wait, THIS!!!! #VEGANSUNITE Ariana has by far the best song. I saw the video today. Whilst unfunny and not a patch on Mean Girls, the Mean Girls tribute and the punched in the face girl in it, and looking the same as in the movie, is just :wub: I detest sausage rolls with passion now :angry: :( Ava could miss out on a potential #1 now But your username is the sausage, the rolled sausage!! 0Aww, He is getting my 99p after all then, Come on sausage roll. :dance: :lol: THIS!!!! Use that 99p to buy Sweet but Psycho Omg Lady GaGa promoting rip off of her song :o Tbh this is probably karma for her copying Express Yourself, so GaGa can't mention this tbh. :lol: :lol: :lol: Ladbaby is going to take it last minute isn't he :lol: Debating whether to give it a download for a laugh at this point :lol: :o DO IT!!!! Just realised what Sweet but Psycho is, its a mix of Gaga's Pokerface and Paparazzi, if you mix the 2 songs you get Sweet but Psycho :D :D :D Omg ... THIIIIIS!!!!! Abbbbsooolute RIP OFF.
December 21, 20187 yr I don't follow the Official Chart anymore but if this Ladbaby song gets to number one then it can only be something refreshing. I doubt all of the contributions towards this week's chart for the songs behind where made on purpose, it's easy to listen to a song by accident or be in a situation where you are forced to listen to a particular song somewhere in public but whether it was for a campaign or not you can tell the contributions for Ladbaby were pre-meditated so it feels purer.
December 21, 20187 yr *Waits for song to become the Greggs anthem on all tv ads* Actually Walls are using it. Half way through the chart week Lad Baby announced that if you downloaded his single and then posted a screenshot of your purchase onto his facebook page you would be entered into a competition to win a years supply of Walls Sausage Rolls. This may be the reason sales picked up in the latter part of the week. There is already a few people saying on the page that the winner ought to donate the prize direct to the Tressel Trust charity that the single is raising money for. In terms of who is more known/popular this week I have heard a lot of people talking about Lad Baby, whilst Ariana's has been around long enough now (and isn't exactly her best effort in the first place) so there didn't seem much interest in her from the people I've discussed the charts with, and I think Ava is relatively unknown still as she is still building up, and more people will actually know who she is in a week or two, I mean the only reason I know of her myself is is that I have been following the xmas chart battle. I'm gonna go now and listen to Ava Max now to find out what it sounds like, as I didn't want to stream during Xmas week, as I wanted Lad Baby to get it (and I only heard of either of them when I saw the contenders based on the first midweek, I just happened to be drawn to checking out the novelty song first, then stuck with it).
December 21, 20187 yr just noticed Ladbaby has finally cracked the Youtube chart 1 Ariana Grande - thank u, next (376,133) 2 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You (347,879) 3 Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho (335,270) 11 NEW LadBaby - We Built This City (181,905 ) still unsure how he sold so much on Wednesday, was doing well on iTunes but not that well, 4 times better than Ava... but not 20 times better... weird
December 21, 20187 yr No11 on YouTube is t to be sniffed at! So Ladbaby won't be 100% downloads then!
