Yungblud is currently #1, above Shawn.

The charts are dead, let Jess have a fake hit it doesn't matter anymore when the top 6 are Christmas songs any way

:lol:

 

1.3k lead for Mariah, and that's ahead of Wham! who are behind her on every platform and also subject to the same ACR handicap. Things are looking great!

Thanks! I think B&B will be #1 on Friday anyway

Mariah Carey nearly killed Buzzjack :lol:

Whitney: The track from The Bodyguard movie

The other can't remember I think its something about Let's Have Another Party (1954)

 

Whitney had 2 UK Xmas No. 1s. The aforementioned I Will Always Love You in 1992 and Saving All My Love For You in 1985.

I'm officially a Michael Ball fanboy for this week and this week only x

Will be interesting to see the sales gap between Mariah and Ariana

No, Shaky was the 1985 Xmas number 1.

If Mariah gets #1 on Friday, hope she gets knocked off the top a week later by Wham!

Mariah for #1 this week it seems :)

 

Amazon must be reporting crazy high figures for Jess to be #3

she has to be at least on 5K, which is 2,5 per day

crazy how all year round Amazon doesn't account for much (there are always songs doing well only on Amazon that barely trouble the top 100)

and suddenly a song that was #12 on Amazon does 2,5K a day, which is more or less what Ariana was doing all of last week at #1 on Spotify

it's totally impossible that song #12 on Amazon does more than song #1 on Spotify

 

Just remembered that Ariana, Bieber and Jess are all on 7 #1s. Who will get to 8 first, Ari with a fluke '34+35' victory in the January 1st chart (with so much on ACR and Christmas songs dropping) or one of the latter two with their Amazon songs? :D or... none of them yet *_*

Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You is leading the charge on today’s Official Chart: First Look.

 

The festive hit is currently just 1,300 chart sales ahead of Wham’s Last Christmas which rises one place to Number 2 after 48 hours. If Mariah can hold on to her current position it'll be the first time the song's 26-year history that it scoops the Official UK Number 1.

 

Meanwhile, Jess Glynne’s Amazon Originals cover of Donny Hathaway’s This Christmas flies up 25 places to Number 3 on the First Look - and if it stays on track, this will be Jess’s 13th UK Top 10 song.

 

Another Amazon Original, Justin Bieber’s take on Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree is up 16 places to Number 5, set to become his 23rd Top 10 hit.

 

The influx of festive songs into the Top 10 this week means current Number 1 Ariana Grande’s Positions drops to Number 7 – but with five days of this week’s chart race left there’s still time for the song to rise back to the top.

 

Other songs rising into the Top 20 on this week’s First Look are: Merry Christmas Everyone – Shakin’ Stevens (14), Step Into Christmas – Elton John (8), Do They Know It’s Christmas – Band Aid (9), I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard (12), Driving Home For Christmas – Chris Rea (13), Merry Xmas Everybody – Slade (17), and One More Sleep – Leona Lewis (18).

The 2 days worth of Amazon streams is nonsense. Why aren’t songs like Sweet Melody (that are JUST below Jess) anywhere close to #3, despite having Spotify, iTunes and Apple?

It does seem very suspicious

 

to compare:

Jess Glynne (#3 officially, #7 Amazon)

Justin Bieber (#5 officially, #13 Amazon)

Little Mix (#10 officially, #11 Amazon)

 

how does that happen??

Is Amazon exclusive just a UK thing? How do Amazon choose what singer to support or are these Christmas singles made specifically for Amazon?

They're singles specifically made to be exclusive to Amazon.

It's a worldwide thing but Jess Glynne is only being pushed in the UK, with Justin Bieber being mostly for the US market (though we seem to be getting him as well).

It does seem very suspicious

 

to compare:

Jess Glynne (#3 officially, #7 Amazon)

Justin Bieber (#5 officially, #13 Amazon)

Little Mix (#10 officially, #11 Amazon)

 

how does that happen??

 

Maybe Amazon don't calculate plays from playlists or asking Alexa to play 'Christmas music' as plays towards its own chart but report those sales.

 

Looks like Mariah could already be as far ahead of Ariana than the difference at the end of last week, I can't see her losing it now. It's probably more of a threat that Amazon will make up fake sales and Jess denies her!

Theres no doubting Amazon becomes bigger year by year but those figures make no sense, c'mon Mariah!
