Breakdown for this week is a little bit different for the next fortnite

All I suggest take it as it comes as chart information will be very scarce due to Christmas Day and New Years Day falling midweek

 

Hopefully the First Look Sunday Chart is available, as for OCC update on Monday take it when it comes as Staff will be on their Christmas annual leave, feel free to comment.

 

Just like to say a big thank you to all members and the Chart mod team for all their input for the past year.

 

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year 2020

 

 

Other notes (please read)

- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).

- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.

- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored.

I suspect LadBaby will still be No 1 on the First Look Chart, but won't be by Friday. Not sure what will though and can't see it being Mariah

Last year, Mariah's combined sales increased from 35,896 to 65,004 (81%) to just miss out on #1, while Wham!'s increased from 32,139 to 60,412 (88%).

If those same rates of increase happen this year...

 

Mariah would go from 36,781 (yesterday's chart) to 66,606

Wham! would go from 35,926 (excl. vinyl sales) to 67,530

and in yesterday's chart, Own It did 67,649

 

So basically, who knows.

Stormzy to do the double (hopefully).

Mariah to do the double hopefully!

Mariah to do the double hopefully!

Absolutely no chance of that happening, Album won't come close

Mariah has got the vinyl release & 2nd music video which is doing great so far.

Mariah has got the vinyl release & 2nd music video which is doing great so far.

...and the Walkers crisps advert - I can understand why some people are saying this could be her best chance but really hope Stormzy spoils the Party!

Given that Own It was boosted by the album release I think Wham could get the No1 which would be fitting on the 35th anniversary

 

Next year is 40 years since Stop The Cavalry hit the charts so could there be a campaign to get that to No1?

Maybe Rod will be No.1 album again. His Friday to Tuesday sales should be really good and can’t imagine Stormzy’s album is going to be getting enough Xmas Day streams to counteract it.

 

Stormzy vs Mariah for No.1 single? I expect to see both do around 60-65k with Wham not far behind, just like last year.

Team Mariah adopting a win at all costs strategy this year.

A double youtube video will make the difference.

Furthermore, I don't think the Chart of the Year 2019 is happening, there seems to be two random presenters who I never heard off announcing the official chart countdown next Friday from 4pm to 6pm unless I missed it somewhere its not even in the Radio 1 schedule for the next fortnight.

today's update Spotify looks more favourable to Stormzy than Mariah...

 

was checking's last year's Spotify data...

Mariah did: 695-712-753-1,188-1,637-259-104K

while Ava Max did: 410-393-354-362-302-336-365K

 

Mariah had quite a weak rival in Ava, who was barely doing 360K per day on average

but of course Mariah was on ACR and Ava not, so Ava ended up as Xmas #1

even if on Spotify alone, Mariah did more than double (764K per day on average;

totals were 2,52 million for Ava and 5,34 million for Mariah)

 

so far this year, Mariah started a bit lower on 622K

but her most direct rival, Stormy, has actually started much stronger than Ava did last year, he's on 524K

 

so sure Stormzy has a chance

Furthermore, I don't think the Chart of the Year 2019 is happening, there seems to be two random presenters who I never heard off announcing the official chart countdown next Friday from 4pm to 6pm .

 

They're students Martin from York university. They won student radio awards recently and have presented a chart show together on student radio before. The lass, Hannah, was named Best Student Female presenter so they should have an idea what they're doing. Read today that both are very very nervous but they won't be left alone and the producer will be sat with them all the time. Also they'll sit in on a couple of shows earlier in the day to watch how the desk is run.

Edited December 21, 20196 yr by Crazy Chris-tmas

I’m predicting Stormzy will end up at #1 on the singles chart and Mariah will have similar sales to last year

Last year, Mariah's combined sales increased from 35,896 to 65,004 (81%) to just miss out on #1, while Wham!'s increased from 32,139 to 60,412 (88%).

If those same rates of increase happen this year...

 

Mariah would go from 36,781 (yesterday's chart) to 66,606

Wham! would go from 35,926 (excl. vinyl sales) to 67,530

and in yesterday's chart, Own It did 67,649

 

So basically, who knows.

 

I expect Wham's sales will be a few thousand lower than that as they had the physical release last week to bolster their numbers.
