Does this bother people that much? Christmas no.1 means nothing these days and the no.1s this year have been of low quality anyway. This is a laugh and I quite like him. I don’t see lightning striking twice but it would be much better than most other contenders.

I kinda hope he gets it tbh.

 

It’s just for one week and other competitors for the top spot what aren’t Xmas tracks will sell way more in the long run and some may even go to #1 afterwards anyways. Plus it is for charity. I wouldn’t be disappointed at all if he done it again. It’s a bit meh how were still on the Sausage Rolls theme though.

 

 

• misses Xmas #1

• gets #1 on a week where virtually no one cares about the chart let alone the top 10

• falls off the face of the earth a year later

 

that last one is a bit hyperbolic but you get the point

 

It’s Joe McElderry x

I would argue one week of the year which people outside of chart fans care about the no1 is Christmas week.

I want to see him do it just so he joined The Beatles and the Spice Girls with their record :P

Hahah it could happen the way things are these days too!

Not long to go!

Because midnight pre-order splashes are still a thing, this is #1 on AU iTunes with a 2:1 lead. His last song only ever got to #5 but that was a gradual climb.

This is bound to be significantly more frontloaded than last year's I guess.

Because midnight pre-order splashes are still a thing, this is #1 on AU iTunes with a 2:1 lead. His last song only ever got to #5 but that was a gradual climb.

I fully expect it to knock everyone down to under 10 or even 5% when it appears on the Uk iTunes...

Assuming Tones will be selling about 5-6k a week at this stage, that implies LadBaby will probably need to outsell her at least 10 to 1 for the whole week to get #1, so if he doesn't push Tones below 0.1 on the first day it'll probably be safe to say he's not going to get #1. I expect he probably will though, I'm just skeptical it'll hold up well enough during the week.

I checked last years race for #1 and LadBaby claimed #1 at the very last day

Started at #2 in the first mids, dropped to #3 , reclaimed to #2 and only got to #1 on Thursday with a sudden huge lead

And it's another smash!

 

Video coming at 9am

 

And it was actually recorded at the Abbey Road studios!

Absolute load of crap.

 

It’ll get to number 1 but I honestly find it an embarrassment.

Absolutely fab and Christmas No.1.

Lol his wife is so cringe!!

Absolute load of crap.

How can this country be any more embarrassed than it should be already after the election results?

 

Given that the numbers of children in poverty will likely soar over the next five years, this doing well could at least go some way to helping out.

 

And actually why not have a fun Christmas no.1? It’s hardly any worse than the garbage that’s been no.1 for the last 3 months.
