Posted November 12, 20204 yr The Amazon exclusives seem to keep coming, Justin Bieber's covered Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Not sure how long this YouTube video will remain up for but currently it can be heard here: mLME0OjScDU It's a cute cover!
November 16, 20204 yr Author #64 in the mids, Jess Glynne nowhere to be seen, making this the top Amazon exclusive :cheeseblock:
November 17, 20204 yr i don't doubt this will be #1 at xmas... scooter + chart riggery isn't out the question.
November 17, 20204 yr at least with River it was #1 on the Amazon chart the Bieber song is nowhere to be seen on Spotify, Apple, iTunes low top 100 on Amazon... and makes the mids top 75? that's literally impossible...

River wasn't #1 on the Amazon chart at this stage of its chart career though. It's nowhere to be seen on those platforms because it's an Amazon exclusive, as per the first post. Nothing's impossible after last year's ridiculousness from Amazon.
November 17, 20204 yr River was top 10 at this point and top 3 the week after. Justin’s Amazon position is lower than his official position. That is impossible.
November 17, 20204 yr he sounds bored. or is that what he sounds like these days? Ever since his voice broke he has sounded bored. He doesn’t have an interesting or strong voice and can’t he just leave this classic alone?
October 28, 20213 yr Indeed! And to be fair now I've heard it, it's a lot better than expected! Never going to be a definitive version, but there's definitely worse out there.
October 28, 20213 yr It got to number 4 due to its playlist position, I know what version we will continue to hear every December hence forth!
October 28, 20213 yr Author It got to number 4 due to its playlist position, I know what version we will continue to hear every December hence forth! It got to #4 because it was an Amazon exclusive and Alexa spammed it, but that doesn't stop it being a top 5 smash :kink: don't think anyone's contesting that Brenda Lee's original is the biggest and most loved!
October 29, 20213 yr Interested to see if Amazon will still be spamming this this year now that it's no longer an exclusive :P (I'm guessing they'll have new exclusives that they will move onto shilling instead). I remember this being a better cover than I expected it to be tbf, obviously not a patch on the Brenda Lee version but perfectly listenable.
October 30, 20213 yr It won’t, just like the John Lennon cover from the year before lost in the lower top 200s every Xmas day and then out!
