Dua being ahead of Stormzy is a little weird too.

 

That'll be because she's had a sales boost from being 59p on iTunes I think, sales are always more exaggerated in the First Look chart as the streaming data takes time to catch up (also Dua was ahead of Stormzy in the First Look chart last week as well). I can't imagine there's much of a gap between them at all. It's Ellie being ahead of Stormzy that is rather concerning :lol:

Was hoping Taylor could sneak top 20 in this update :(

 

River!!!!! That random song from John legend??!!

I'm more shocked at John Legend being #10

We knew River was gonna be a climber but wasn't even expecting John Legend to be top 100 :D

 

Didn't think John Legend would get a hit this year!

No, it's that random song by Train on their xmas album!!!

Yeah this is an Amazon Original too it seems :lol:

 

edit: oops beaten to it

 

Also noticed when i ask alexa to play OMS it plays some slow ballad amazon original version now wonder if that will help leona lower down the charts

So bizarre that Taylor Swift, Little Mix and Mabel all release new Christmas songs that gain no traction or playlist support, yet Amazon provides easy cover hits for Ellie Goulding and John Legend, neither of who have had a major hit in years! Spotify need to get their act together and shake up their tired playlists or they could lose ground to their more dynamic and reactive competition.

Ikr :(

 

At least Taylor and Katy have finally been added to Christmas hits! (Tho both deserve to be higher :( )

It'll be interesting to see if there are any other Amazon Covers in the top 100 tomorrow - what's in the Amazon chart?

I really hope the OCC let River slide lmao

I think it's possible there might be more Amazon data than other streaming services because this seriously doesn't seem like it should add up. Clearer picture tomorrow I guess!

I'd been thinking the same - either that Friday's Spotify / Apple data is missing, or that both have Fri but Amazon has Fri-Sat perhaps?

Spotify hasn’t even updated today

You have to use her full name plus the song name for the proper version for some reason.

John Legend :mellow: that flew over my head :lol:

 

Surprised to see Ellie that high, I think she will drop a bit as the week go by, when missing sales are added. :P

Taylor should've made her song an Amazon exclusive then it may have charted at like #6 then.

Haha I've literally been saying this offsite for the past hour 😂😂 Amazon is by far her best streaming platform as well so I low-key feel she could've challenged for #1 judging by river 😂

Little Mix's label now know what they have to do next Xmas :D

I am genuinely loving this Amazon Music impact *.*

If only Michelle McManus' new Christmas album had been an Amazon thing :nocheer:

Omg... this!

I remember reading an article in Music Week hope streaming exclusives is a labels worst nightmare as it can backfire however Amazon obviously want to show their weight and prove they are a strong streaming platform - both tracks have been promoted on multiple playlists, is 2020 going to be the start of streaming exclusives after this result?
