I'm always curious about why people choose to 'null vote' in polls, there's been 3 so far!

I hope it does purely so we don't have another round of 'this year was her last chance to get #1 and the OCC stole it from her!' followed by next November 'is this the year Mariah will finally get #1?', and repeat ad infinitum every year x

 

Yes I am wading into the salty brine pools of JONASSTYLE'S SALT KINGDOM in here!!!!, but needs MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

1. The OCC really DID steal it both times

2. It made up WILDLY inaccurate Thurs streams that just HAPPENED to bring it below Ava Max

3. It literally changed the entire rules of the chart to stop Mariah

4. Last year, it allowed complete and utter Amazon shenanigans without a peep just to stop Mariah. Absolutely disgraceful!! People are listening to Mariah this year. They're not listening to Alexa Goulding!! And if they do listen to River, it will be to the original by Train from their CLASSIC, Christmas in Tahoe.

5. Laat year, those desperate OCC TROLLOPS even PURPOSEFULLY counted Mariah's video sales drastically wrong. DRASTICALLY! Mariah won the battle last year and she won it vs Eva Max too, and in fact she has been the no.1 for almost every week in December for years now. They just refuse to admit it with their anti-Mariah ACR rules.

6. Speaking of ACR, they refused Mariah's request to get reset last year even though it was getting a new promo push. They completely disregarded their OWN anti-Mariah rules to be extra anti-Mariah. Those absolute TURDS!!!!!!!!! Just thinking aboot their corruption gets me blood boiling. All you anti-Mariah haters can absolutely get over it when she actually does the numbers to be no.1 and was no.1 twice even on ACR, but the OCC trollopy turds just refused to admit it.

 

They hate Mariah and are desperate to stop her getting to no.1. They should just let it happen by now!!!!! Anti-Mariah Desperate Debbies.

If it does do it, my guess is it'll be the week of 11th or 18th and an Amazon or charity single will take the Christmas #1. but just praying it manages it!!

Quick, someone tell Michael who Joni Mitchell is.

I do it if I don't have an opinion on the poll, but want to see the results :P

I voted no cause I'm pessimistic and I do believe the OCC made up streams to keep her at number 2 last year so what's to stop them again this year.. Anyways I would love it to finally get to number 1 as it rightly deserves.

Surely there will be a charity Christmas number one in this year of all years?

 

I voted yes and think it’ll be next Friday if anything. Don’t the Xmas songs start evening out following the big 1st December boost until the 5/6 days before Xmas Eve?

 

Would anyone not think it’s a fitting Christmas number 2?

I can see it being number 1 this year. I voted for next Friday then realised I was thinking of its sales without ACR.

It's about time it got to number one. Mariah Carey is a Christmas legend.

Bar Ladbaby, I think people are a bit fed up with all the charity singles we have had so far this year.

 

Even Ladbaby would need some major sales to stop Mariah if her streams keep building as they have so far this year.

I voted no - with Ariana beating her for the next couple of weeks and LadBaby during the Christmas week. If Sausage Rolls Part 3 doesn't materialise, then yes.

 

I really don't want to manifest this though because I know the mass complaining on the forum would be unbearable if she was kept off :rofl:

 

I think I'd get demoted as Ariana AF mod if I rallied against her :teresa: I do want to see 'positions' keep going if it can, but if not then Mariah would be a great #1.

Another Mariah Carey one with Ariana Grande be high

In the equivalent of the 11th and 18th weeks last year Mariah was doing around 35k chart sales. Positions is likely to be gradually sagging from 40k to about 35k in December. So assuming no other challengers come along before Christmas week she just needs to do a bit better than last year to get there before Christmas week, and so far she’s doing much better than last year.

Probably! I’m just glad that Ellie managed to do it first :D

One scenario which would close this forum down would be if the Oh Santa remix beat AIWFCIY to number one due to it ending up on SCR

I would be amazed if it got enough support to achieve that, even with Ariana on board! But I suppose stranger things have happened.

 

I'm also curious whether Merry Christmas will ever be able to peak higher than #32 :thinking: Last year it made it to #54, its highest position since 1994!

 

13.11.1994 - #32, 28 weeks

(Entry: 13.11.94) 45-54-58-55-45-32-32-103-out (8 weeks)

(Entry: 26.11.95) 195-178-136-143-157-out (5 weeks)

(Entry: 22.11.98) 116-120-out (2 weeks)

(Entry: 08.12.17) 181-159-191-142-out (4 weeks)

(Entry: 07.12.18) 155-133-121-95-out (4 weeks)

(Entry: 08.11.19) 141-out (1 week)

(Entry: 06.12.19) 116-108-98-54-out (4 weeks)

I was only thinking of a hilarious scenario that would be unbelievable, if it did happen I’d eat my hat!

 

Strange that her album only reached #32, it’s recharted recently probably because Christmas albums seem to be in fashion in the uk all of a sudden post-Buble!

I really hope she gets there and realistically it would be either 11 or 18 Dec, but 35-40k is so rarely enough for a #1 that it makes me think it still won't happen, whether it's because of 'positions' holding on or something like 'Whoopty' blowing up. I can see her doing 45k or so Christmas week, but that won't be enough (because Ladbaby).

Did she not do like 70k last year or was that on SCR?

That was the week after Christmas (which is probably the optimum moment for Alexa spamming to clinch the #1 for Bieber or Jess)
