YES IT'S GONE THE OCC STOLE ANOTHER NO.1!! f*** THE UK CHARTS!! Mariah has the USA no.1!! :wub:

 

 

:rolleyes: Oh be quiet. Ellie did more, simple as that.

Kinda feels like the end of an era... most of these Christmas songs have likely peaked for good now :(

 

Yep this is true :( unless the rules somehow don't get altered by 2024 :lol:

Nice for Ellie. I don't really understand the issue that many people appear to have with it only being available at amazon. For me it makes it even more special, it doesn't need the "machines" of Apple or Spotify, to make it the most consumed track of the week.

 

The issue is that the track is most likely not the most popular one of the week. You’d have to be very naive to assume that everyone was asking Alexa to play Ellie Goulding on Christmas Day as its much more likely they were asking for ‘Christmas music’ just as nobody was probably asking for John Legend either.

 

The charts have represented the laziness of Britain’s music consumption habits for a long time but this one really takes the biscuit.

God what an exciting chart, I do agree John Legend being so high kinda gave it away but I still had hope

One of the most random number ones of the decade tbh

Ladbaby 1-57 :lol:

and three places higher... Feliz Navidad finally Top 75!!! :cheer:

 

OMG YES! EVERYTHING IS FORGIVEN! PROSPERO ANO Y FELICIDAD :cheer:

Hilarious!

Well a big well done to Joel and Hannah for hosting the chart today, and a massive thanks to Joseph for all your prep work this week!

Ellie surely must be one of the dullest 'artists' of all time? HER VOICE IS JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!

 

Charts are a complete joke now!

 

There's an aspect in what you write that I agree: to make the chart, music buyers used to go to a shop and purchase a single and you had a limited amount of titles in a shop. Now any (passive) listener contributes to the chart...

Ashley O and now Ellie Goulding okg what kind of queen

In line with brexit and this sort of UK decisions

But you could also argue that people choosing to listen to spotify xmas playlists is exactly the same as Mariah is likely to appear as she appears in most of their playlists.

I'm just here for these reactions really, best late Christmas present ever *.*

 

As hilarious as it is, it's a shame for Mariah as this did feel like her last chance, Ellie's song sounded rather nice. It's a wonderful song from Joni Mitchell.

 

Well a big well done to Joel and Hannah for hosting the chart today, and a massive thanks to Joseph for all your prep work this week!

 

 

Absolutely, and thanks for hosting today and in 2019 - happy new year!

I missed out of the chart but so happy so see Wizzard back in the top 10 and Shakin' Stevens doing better than last year

Honestly, I don't even have a clue of who Alexa is. Even if it is not the most popular (whatever that would mean in terms of chart), it was the one that sold the most copies. It even made me have to use a VPN to buy it, as I don't live in the UK and it's not available anywhere here.

 

Would you then say that LadBaby was the most "popular" track of the week last week, because it was available on every other download/streaming platform? A drop to outside the top 50 shows me that it was actually a "fix". But it was number 1.

 

Mariah will return next year again...

Yay well done Ellie, a deserving #1!

Gutted mariah isnt number 1, I never expected her to be beaten by ellie, I thought if anyone was gonna block her it would be stormzy and ed Sheeran.

Honestly one of the most bizarre/hilarious outcomes in my 10 years of following the UK charts.

So All I Want for Christmas Is You has been number two on FOUR separate occasions. Talk about bad luck there..

YES IT'S GONE THE OCC STOLE ANOTHER NO.1!! f*** THE UK CHARTS!! Mariah has the USA no.1!! :wub:

River is a terrible song compared to last year's #1 SWEET BUT PSYCHO (and ofc AIWFCIY)
