Would prefer this if it was just James Arthur :lol:

Yeah I'd be surprised if they didn't have Ladbaby on, especially as this is the thing his entire campaign was for!

 

I think Ladbaby confirmed on his twitter lastnight he would be on R1 with Scott Mills today.

I never liked that Paul McCartney Christmas song. The Slade one still sounds good.

 

It's much better than the Wizzard dated cheese! Slade is ok, but McCartney is better.

Freya Ridings has INCREASED in sales this week and therefore avoided ACR for another 3 weeks! *.*

Biography

 

The Pogues are an Irish band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so.

 

Their politically tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern, mandolin and accordion.

 

The Pogues were founded in Kings Cross, a district of Central London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone—pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". - Wikipedia

Buzzjack will be THRILLED to hear that despite dropping 2 spots, Freya Ridings has INCREASED in sales this week and therefore avoided ACR for another 3 weeks! *.*

 

Rewrite the Stars :heart:

 

:cheer: Fantastic!! Same for Billie Eilish please!

Twentygayteen sending this right back out of the top 10 already *.* you can come back when you get censored on radio, Pogues x
Would massively prefer it if it was neither. Actually don't mind the song on first listen though.

You'd prefer it if it was neither? Check out the ORIGINAL version by Zac Efron & Zendaya that spent a while in the chart earlier this year!

I'm fuming about it. :puke2:

One of the worst songs of the year imo. -_-

how unfortunate Fairytale Of New York will likely need to wait 11 months before it finally hits 100 weeks charting :P

well it's not their fault is it, does that not come down to the radio stations or whatever?

 

It's still a really good song anyway and doesn't deserve that hate!

BUBLE REALLY needs to release a sequel to christmas

 

He released a deluxe edition in 2011 I think lol. Nearly had all the holiday favs on that, think there's 20 tracks lol
