November 15, 20204 yr Omg I hope Jess Glynne blocks this So the same thing can happen to her like it did with Ava Maxx and Ellie Goulding? :arrr:

November 15, 20204 yr Author What are Mariah's chances this year? Are they better/worse than last year? Worse in theory, because the Christmas chart is on a Friday this year. Streams from Friday 18th-Wednesday 23rd will count towards the chart, but the Christmas Eve streams will be estimated by the OCC (Thursday streams are always estimated... and they'll probably underestimate it because they base it on the streaming trends of the previous 5 days. That won't properly take into account how the songs get huuuuge streams on Christmas Eve). Then the streams that occur on Christmas Day itself will contribute to the Friday 1st January chart, but on the other days that week there won't be much listening of Christmas songs. Last year was much more favourable because the chart was revealed on Friday 27th... so that included Christmas Eve streams and Christmas Day, while it was Boxing Day streams that were estimated. Alexa Goulding ended up benefiting the most from that though.
November 15, 20204 yr It’s so ODD how people just stop listening to Christmas songs on Boxing Day. Christmas lasts for 12 days!
November 15, 20204 yr I can't believe I'm playing this song already! But after how 2020 has been, Christmas is like the shining light at the end of a crappy tunnel for a lot of people including myself and there is literally no other song that encapsulates the joy of Christmas quite like this
November 15, 20204 yr I think some people are just focusing on Christmas chart week when with the way Christmas songs are being listened to already she could easily be number one at any time in December. The only huge new song I can see between now and the Xmas chart is Miley/Dua although LM or another song could easily rise with albums out or coming out.
November 16, 20204 yr The meltdowns and distress it would cause :cheeseblock: My warning rating would increase from 0% to 125% and I wouldn't be permitted on the forums until 2525. e2ZRSwul7cE
November 16, 20204 yr I always spend Xmas in Spain with my family, where Christmas officially lasts until January 6th :D that's actually when the presents are given
November 16, 20204 yr Mariah is doing some Holiday special this year though... though we have no info and there is a rumoured release of her version of 'Where Are You Christmas?' being released...
November 16, 20204 yr So the OCC are still effing with her video streams :angry: Mariah is on the Graham Norton show on the 27th to promote her Christmas special, she could get lucky and grab an early number 1 that week. It will also have the benefit of massive 1st December streams.
November 16, 20204 yr Author It would require a lot of good luck to reach #1 earlier in December, it would certainly rely on normal hits having fairly weak sales! Mariah's video streams were higher than Wham's and Pogues this week, so hopefully it's a sign that her streams are normal, just down on the equivalent week in 2019? 13th Nov 2020: 454,368 - Mariah (-15.38%) 354,533 - Wham (-6.82%) 84,570 - Pogues (-34.79%) 15th Nov 2019: 536,961 - Mariah 380,483 - Wham 129,698 - Pogues
