Snowman :heart: :heart: :heart:

Shame it's a bit late for it to be a proper hit.

But I think it's doing well enough for people to want to play it again next year, so maybe it can become a slow-burning low-key Christmas classic, or at least make an annual resurgence :)

isn't Snowman climbing cos it's a TikTok?

 

wow Ed already in straight at #39

Ed's new song isn't as commercial as his usual output, I'm expecting a reasonable debut but wouldn't be surprised if it tailed off quite quickly. A bit like when Drake released some of his less commercial music.

He would have debuted lower, it's taken longer than usual for him to show up though, which is a glitch with brand new songs on Apple a music sometimes.

little over 5 hours to get to 39th. I wonder what I don't care did in 5 hours. It is pointless to compare it to shape of you because that was his peak and also had much more promotion being a lead single. Also we have take into account that its Christmas in 4 days and it was released randomly on a Monday at 11am

It is random but I’m still looking forward to tomorrow’s figures!

Ed up to #20 on Apple

Snowman is indeed being streamed this much thanks to TikTok so I'm also wondering how it will perform after December 25th :unsure:

I imagine it’ll fall like the other Xmas songs Tik tok or not

Ed is 17 on Apple Music now.

Ed's song is quite bearable, not a big sounding hit but...

Ed up to #15 on Apple and already the second highest non Christmas song ('positions' is #10).

Ed #4 on Apple, not the showing I was expecting

He's been swallowed a bit by the Christmas releases, probably moreso than he expected - the label wanted a last minute Christmas #1 apparently. I'm sure he'll jump straight in at #1 the week after though - it would have made more sense to release on Christmas day - it could have still been called a Christmas present and he wouldn't have all the Christmas and charity song competition.

If the label wanted the Xmas #1, surely they would've released on Friday? :lol:

 

I'm not saying the don't want it, but it's hardly a race.

agree, released on Friday would have made more sense.

wasn't expecting it to be behind Shakin Stevens :D

Most people don’t even know ed released. He didn’t promote it on socials like a comeback single but it does have good playlisting on Spotify.

Knowing how much Ed cares about chart facts and figures he definitely released to try and get the Xmas #1. Better luck next time, ginge.

If he was trying... he would've released on Friday?

 

He's probably well aware he won't make #1 this week

I literally knew about this release beforehand because his label wanted a last minute Christmas #1. But they underestimated how busy things are at the moment. Because his singles usually open with such massive numbers I think they expected bigger numbers first week.

 

Not that it matters, I assume he'd rise to #1 the week after unless the song really does fail to connect the way he usually does.
