:yahoo: This deserves to really take off, I hope the fact its not on ACR means it can make top 40 this year

 

If it’s that high already it’ll likely be top 40 on Xmas week with the amount of acr Xmas hits!

 

Wow the top 50 on Spotify looks like the Xmas day chart lol albeit the stream amounts are a lot smaller.

MARIAH!!!!!

 

THAT TOP 10 :cheeseblock:

Michael Bublé not very popular on amazon

Mariah now #1 on Apple Music as well

Hope Christmas update ok took over 2 hours to do dedication for you

 

Yeh good work thanks Everton!

 

I take it Taylor Swift ‘Christmas On The Farm’ is meant to be ‘Christmas Tree Farm’?

 

Get that new peak finally ‘Santa Tell Me’ :cheeseblock: :wub:

 

‘positions’ only down 1k streams from yesterday in that mad Christmas rush - its continued stability is quite something!

 

What was it on last Sunday?

 

Can't believe Kelly is doing this well. This really should have gone top 10 on its first time release but better late than never. I get the negative reactions to the usual Christmas songs dominating year on year but some of these haven't really been around for long and charted quite low and are improving on their peak which is one of the better things to come out this invasion. For me anyway.

 

Yeh Kelly did well to get a top 40 in 2013 but she wasn’t massive on radio etc at the time and because she is American didn’t get that much promo in. Leona was able to peak higher due to her promo on Wossy and XF at the time. Hence its big jump on Xmas week to the top 3!

 

Most of these type of songs as you say haven’t been around that long considering the amount of weeks they have to chart so 7 years *5 weeks per year

 

I’m sure the streams for Xmas songs will be similar today but not 100% sure they’ll be as high on 1st December this year due to the fact it’s mid week but we shall see!

 

Does Gwen Stefani/Blake have another year on SCR or are they on ACR already?

Omg yes at Kelly. Really hope she can get high officially too

Yes Christmas tree farm

Yes Christmas tree farm

 

I thought as much!

I like Jess Glynne song

Looks like the chart will be almost exclusively Christmas songs for the whole of December. I imagine the OCC will step in before next Christmas and make some rules changes. Last thing they want or need is their charts mirroring Christmas Spotify playlists year after year for a month.

Haven't people been saying this for years now? Nothing's been changed since the permanent ACR rule and that's not exactly recent.

The charts should reflect what people are listening to imo and people are choosing to listen to these Christmas playlists, the rest of the year the chart is determined by another playlist or two.

Because there hasn't needed to be, there wasn't a 3 songs by 1 artist in the chart either till there needed to be.

 

Having the same top 5 for 3 weeks a year over xmas on the official chart year in year out isnt something the occ will want or is good in any way for the charts.

Isnt that the fault of artist and record labels not releasing anything popular after the 25th November each year!

but it's not something new, it's already been going on for a while and the OCC is not affected by it apparently

they have a very easy solution which is to make a recurrent chart and send there all the old xmas songs

and they could have implemented that ages ago but they're doing nothing

if they cared so much, they'd fix it in 5 minutes

There is loads of xmas songs released every year but Spotify playlists are all the same old xmas songs for the most part.

But then surely radio play should count towards chart positions as many older people "choose" to listen to the radio in the same way others "choose" to listen to Spotify playlists....

Most of the playlists are littered with some newer tracks as well though.
