December 22, 20196 yr I’m definitely not ruling out Mariah quite yet! 2018: 07/12 - #6 - 31,203 14/12 - #5 - 31,528 21/12 - #4 - 35,896 28/12 - #2 - 65,004 2019: 06/12 - #8 - 32,389 13/12 - #6 - 34,485 20/12 - #8 - 36,781 27/12 - #? - ??,??? In theory this upcoming week is more advantageous for Christmas songs than last year: Last year’s dates for this equivalent week: 21st/22nd/23rd/24th/25th/26th and estimated 27th This year: 20th/21st/22nd/23rd/24th/25th and estimated 26th As can be seen by the sales comparisons above, so far this year Mariah has had higher sales every week, even though her positions have been lower. If that trend continues she should do over 65k this week, and as mentioned, Mariah has new physicals & a new music video version released this week. Stormzy managed 67,649 last week, helped along by the album being newly released. I shouldn’t tempt fate but isn’t it likely that he’ll decline this week? I think it could be a very tight race, even though the “first look” chart won’t indicate that it will be. It’s still a bit too soon for the Christmas streaming impact to majorly kick in. Omfg THIS!! The mainstream media might STILL be on the attack and fudging headlines, but it won't be enough if we all BAND TOGETHER AND BUY AIWFCISY!!! Bought one from amazon. I'll buy some from itunes later.
December 22, 20196 yr I could still see Mariah being #1 quite comfortably tbh - as those numbers show, it's been lower this year because of stronger competition, not the song itself doing any worse.
December 22, 20196 yr Any chance at all that Ladbaby could make it two weeks? Near zero, he plummeted to #21 last year in week 2 despite selling nearly 30K.
December 22, 20196 yr Near zero, he plummeted to #21 last year in week 2 despite selling nearly 30K. Just because he didn’t last year doesn’t mean he won’t this year. He is still no1 on iTunes and most of his sales are downloads so I think he stands a chance of staying at no1 next week.
December 22, 20196 yr Whilst it would be deserved for Mariah get to number 1 one day with AIWFCIY some of the tactics of those wanting it to get there this year leave me cold, the back to back streaming of it without even listening to it and the multiple downloading of it are not really in the spirit of a traditional Chart battle. Much prefer to see new music of up-and-coming and current Artists succeed rather than the Annual lining of the pockets of Divas such as Mariah!
December 22, 20196 yr Just because he didn’t last year doesn’t mean he won’t this year. He is still no1 on iTunes and most of his sales are downloads so I think he stands a chance of staying at no1 next week. The gap on iTunes is closing rapidly, he'll probably be off the top of iTunes by tomorrow.
December 22, 20196 yr Just because he didn’t last year doesn’t mean he won’t this year. He is still no1 on iTunes and most of his sales are downloads so I think he stands a chance of staying at no1 next week. Still #1 on iTunes but hardly selling much more than a few hundred copies now so, yes - there is no chance of him staying at number 1.
December 22, 20196 yr Just because he didn’t last year doesn’t mean he won’t this year. He is still no1 on iTunes and most of his sales are downloads so I think he stands a chance of staying at no1 next week. It really isn't happening.
December 22, 20196 yr Except it’s already about to be overtaken by Tones and will get absolutely pummelled one streaming There’s more chance of Gary Glitter being number one this week than Ladbaby Edited December 22, 20196 yr by Lee_J11
December 22, 20196 yr She doesn't perform it because she cant hit those notes anymore. Also lol at you listing more promo (don't forget a 2nd and new music video for it this year) than most songs ever get. Team Stormzy all the way. ITV doing him a massive favour right now, they misquoted him and it is blowing up on social media #streamstormzy LOL I see. You're a bitter Stormzy stan scared that he won't get to number. As I said that promo is for the 25th Anniversary. Try using your brain.
December 22, 20196 yr Where was LadBaby in his second week last year? He fell to #21, and he was still top on iTunes until the Monday night! It looks like he's gonna fall from the top on iTunes on Sunday night this time.

Much prefer to see new music of up-and-coming and current Artists succeed rather than the Annual lining of the pockets of Divas such as Mariah! Right, some clarification as I was wrong!! - You CANNOT mute the song when streaming. - You CANNOT leave it on loop. If you loop it, it won't count. You have to listen to a song in the middle. But you also only need to listen to thirty seconds for it to count. To be sure, listen to a minute a minute of another song, and then back to AIWFC, and so on until you hit your daily cap of 10. I have bought a download, but remember with ACR it only counts as half a sale!! Fortunately you can get every single version on itunes for under £3 (but the pop brat Justin Bibber version doesn't count). It's 59p on itunes, but just 1 sale counts as half due to acr :( Btw, we wouldn't even NEED these tactics if the ocr hadn't cheates her last year, and changed the entire rules of the chart to keep it from no.1. Rigged. Mariah was last year's no.1.
December 22, 20196 yr If it's 'rigged' Michael, why are you bothering this year when it's clear they'll probably 'rig' it again ?

Fortunately you can get every single version on itunes for under £3 (but the pop brat Justin Bibber version doesn't count). It's 59p on itunes, but just 1 sale counts as half due to acr :( It does still count as a full sale despite being on ACR if you download it. The streams are halved.
December 22, 20196 yr It's already rigged with the ridiculous figures they invent for Thursday against her, conveniently meaning she ended just a bit less than Ava Max LOL, rhe year after changing the rules against her. Hiwever if we buy it enough times, no amount of rigging will stop her. Officially. We all know she has been no.1 already, but was cheated out of it.
December 22, 20196 yr I think Ladbaby could be out of the Top 40 by Friday - obviously he'll still be quite high in the first look and early mids, but won't be able to compete with all the Christmas streaming after that.
December 22, 20196 yr More like out of top 75. DM overtakes it on iTunes tomorrow and that has had like 6k in sales in recent weeks?
December 22, 20196 yr LOL I see. You're a bitter Stormzy stan scared that he won't get to number. As I said that promo is for the 25th Anniversary. Try using your brain. I've never intentionally listened to a Stormzy song. As usual on here you give an opinion on a female artists the insults start coming.
