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??

I mean that does scream total FIX... Little Mix AHEAD of Bieber on Amazon yet somehow end up fairly significantly behind him in the midweeks, and that’s before all of the Spotify and Apple Music streams etc factored in.

I TOLD YOU ALL LAST YEAR AMAZON AND THE OCC WERE FIXING THE CHRISTMAS CHARTS!!!

I think those two Amazon’s song have fell throughout the week though so hopefully that continues.

all the other songs high on Amazon are on ACR,basically all the Xmas songs except Jess and Biebs

plus also barren mind there's amazon data x2 in todays mids but Spotifyx1 only

This - I do agree with people that the figures seem a bit dodgy but they aren’t impossible. I imagine if Spotify Saturday data was included then Jess and JB wouldn’t be quite as high as they are now.

 

Having said that, looking very likely one will go #1 in the next couple weeks if these are the numbers now :puke2:

Also not some members openly cheering for fraudulent nature in the charts just because they don't like Mariah

 

I'm seeing more Mariah fans claiming fraud if she doesn't get to number 1!

(and I like the song and would love to see it get to number 1).

Amazon decided to have #1 & #2 song on Xmas Week.

 

Hopefully, Xmas songs on Spotify including Mariah are bigger this year in early December. Just in time to have a week at #1 at least, then if Amazon steals during Xmas week for few years we cannot do anything.

And the #1 of Ellie last year, hasn't helped at all her career. It's not a real popular success. She just has a new #1 in her stats, that's all.

I’ll take that. Biggest Christmas song of 2019, too!

Amazon needs to be investigated. These numbers are nonsensical.

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).

Who was pushed last year worldwide? Ellie Goulding was for the UK?

 

It would really be an amazing achievement for Mariah to reached No1! I’m all for that ❤️🎅🎄☃️

Who was pushed last year worldwide? Ellie Goulding was for the UK?

Ellie was their main push, and there was also John Legend whose cover of Happy Xmas (War Is Over) went top 10

Do you guys think that Mariah will finally get her long overdue number 1 this Friday?

Jamie Cullum also reached #100 this week, have any other Amazon Originals charted (yet)?

Surely this confirms Amazon are rigging the numbers. I can't see a way around it. If they're gonna mess with the numbers they should at least put Jess and Bieber at the top of their own chart to make it somewhat believable. :lol:

 

Part of me thinks the OCC just let them get away with it to prevent Mariah from getting to #1 every year.

For reference, the sales gaps between Mariah and Jess last week (position in brackets is Jess' position, Mariah was #2 each time):

 

4,362 Monday mids [#12]

7,839 Tuesday mids [#18]

10,675 Wednesday mids [#21]

13,851 Thursday mids [#24]

19,856 Friday chart [#28]

 

Bieber slumped a lot too, from #8 on Sunday to #21 on Friday. Ellie slumped every week from Sunday to Friday last year (except the week she was actually #1, though I suspect the gap had still closed somewhat by the time Friday came). This is because Amazon report their data on time usually, while Spotify, Apple and YouTube tend to be a day behind.

Ugh why Amazon didn't come up with the idea of reporting fake streams when they had Katy with 'Cozy Little Christmas' :nocheer:

 

Anyway let Mariah have this one week at number one :cheer: After that Jess Glynne can even outsell 'Candle in the Wind' on Christmas week and I won't care.

I TOLD YOU ALL LAST YEAR AMAZON AND THE OCC WERE FIXING THE CHRISTMAS CHARTS!!!

 

 

WE KNOW YOU DID. . :rolleyes:

We still got Ladbaby to come, I reckon that will be announced this week, coming for his hat trick, that's if he is still releasing a track this year.

How do you explain Bieber being ahead of Little Mix (by a lot) on the Official Charts but behind them on Amazon, when that’s the only platform he’s on
