December 20, 20231 yr New peak for 'Santa Tell Me' - #6 has to be one of the highest peaks here for a non-Top 10 hit officially, possibly the highest yet due to ACR rather than being starred out. The highest I can think of is #7 for 'Cupid' officially but #11 without ACR. Although I'm sure Jules can confirm it either way.
December 20, 20231 yr Author I can’t think of anything that’a been as high as 6 in the tracks chart and hasn’t made the official top 10, other than where it’s been due to the 3 track rule like Matilda. Edited December 20, 20231 yr by Jingle Jules
December 20, 20231 yr The highest I can think of is #7 for 'Cupid' officially but #11 without ACR. Although I'm sure Jules can confirm it either way. That's a different thing, where a song wouldn't have made the Top 10 in a chart without ACR, but benefitted from it officially. There have been more extreme cases than 'Cupid', e.g. 'willow' (#3 officially), and I think even Ellie's 'River' (#1 officially) would have peaked at #11 without ACR, but that predates this thread.

You're right, my brain is on slow mode today. Blame last night's Christmas drinks :lol:
December 26, 20231 yr Author 28/12: I think Brenda’s already passed The Pogues. Alexa still hasn’t generated a Top 10 with Ellie reaching #11 a few years ago and Sam I’m currently placing at #12, though he could yet go higher. New peaks for Nat King Cole, The Jacksons and Eartha Kitt by a long way.

December 26, 20231 yr Santa Tell Me only benefits from her name. If it were by anyon3 else, exvept Taylot Swift, it would badly flop like Britney's. It's almost the sam eexact song as Britney's.

December 30, 20231 yr Author 4/1: As I said in the sales thread it’s probably the first time ever the Top 10 have all done more than 100k. Dean Martin joins Kelly Clarkson in the club that have reached the Top 10 here but not officially. Other new peaks for The Ronettes, Nat King Cole, The Jacksons, Jorja Smith, Cher, Kelly & Ariana, The Beach Boys, Laufey and Taylor. Sam actually drops back without the physicals and still no Amazon exclusive has made theTop 10. Their positions don’t seem so extraordinary in this chart. 1 1 Last Christmas (1) YE18 2 2 All I want for Christmas is you (1) YE29 3 3 Rocking around the Christmas tree (3) YE67 4 4 Fairytale of New York (2) YE73 5 5 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (4) 6 7 Santa tell me (6) 7 8 It’s the most wonderful time of the year (7) 8 10 Jingle bell rock (5) 9 6 Merry Christmas everyone (1) 10 13 Let it snow!

A flop would be something like Madonna's Santa Baby. Not a song that has over 300 million streams on Spotify. I don't agree britneys song was a flop as its certified gold and considering it wasn't a single as such its done great but I wouldn't go as far to say it effortlessly charts every year as it hasn't, there has been years it didnt make the top 100 but I'm very happy to see it get a new peak of number 59 this year as I really like the song and hope it can repeak again in the future.
January 1, 20241 yr 'Last Christmas' now ranks joint 10th in the all-time list of most weeks at #1 in an ACR-free chart, alongside 'Sprinter' with 12 weeks (all in the space of 3 years). A moot point but the Jackson 5 song probably hasn't matched its peak from the final chart of 2018, which I'd estimate at #22 (it was #30 officially). Thanks Julian for continuing this over the past year!
January 9, 20241 yr Author It’s that time of the year when for 1 week only I can bring you the 100% accurate old rules chart! Poor Dial Drunk being denied a new peak by ACR and then not even charting due to the 3 track rule. :( 1 30 Stick season (1) 2 42 Lovin on me (1 3 - Prada (2) 4 - Greedy (3) 5 - Cruel summer (3) 6 - Houdini (2) 7 - Strangers (1) 8 - Water (5) 9 - Vampire (1) 10 - Murder on the dancefloor (2) 11 - Paint the town red (1) 12 - Sprinter (1) 13 - Mr Brightside (10) 14 - Is it over now?
