Stormzy only number 5, what a shock! Now the race is open for the xmas songs

Really surprised to see Stormzy this low. Does that mean the Pogues are No 4?

Biography

 

The Pogues are an Irish band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so.

 

Their politically tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern, mandolin and accordion.

 

The Pogues were founded in Kings Cross, a district of Central London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone—pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". - Wikipedia

stormy #5 :o shocker :o

 

there must be crazy numbers for all xmas songs from Amazon

Thank goodness Stormzy and Ed Sheeran are out of the way.

How on Earth has it dropped despite having big streams and being on SCR? I hope it becomes the first #1 of the new decade

 

It didn't have that big streams tbh, lost to DM on at least two days.

I think with this down that Mariah's gonna do it. Would love Ellie to hold on though.

Yes but strangely doesn't make Now compilations these days.

 

 

Too much competition...

So Ladbaby still top 3? Can't be!

I can’t believe we’ve been saying that THIS VERY WEEK would be Mariahs week like for years and years

 

And now it’s here and she’s gonnabe cheated out of a number one by a desperate FLOP 💀

 

Amazon were HAMMERING it every 20 mins or so Xmas eve and Xmas day. I had to keep close to it so that I could skip - honestly!! I would then play Mariah purposefully to counteract their chart manipulation. Think of how many have Amazons. I reckon far more have Amazon Music now than Spotty or Apple, which is for old people, as we all know. Shaky was super high on apple. I wonder who else is to come??

 

Band Aid 2 is horrendous imo, a crappy SAW version with Cliff jumping on the bandwagon.

 

Time for a rate:

 

Band Aid 84>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Band Aid 20>>>>>>>>Band Aid 30>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Band Aid 2

 

BA20 and 30 should be made a criminal offence to be played EVER lol... I'm a late 80s child so my life was SAW, so BAII will always hold a special place in my heart :)

Oh my if Ellie does it :')

Goodbye Stormzy/Sheeran :w00t: :yahoo:

 

So does Calvin have the most No1s this decade ahead of Ed?

Buzzjack will go into Meltdown if Ellie beats Mariah! :lol:

Pogues above Stormzy I was not expecting!

I have never heard this Ellie Goulding song so I don't know what I would like to see at no.1.

Watch Last Christmas sail to #1 now :kink:

Thank goodness Stormzy and Ed Sheeran are out of the way.

 

Omg THIS!!

It didn't have that big streams tbh, lost to DM on at least two days on Spotify.

It was most likely the most streamed song on SCR
