The Pogues in the top 3 for the first time since 2005 would be fitting on the anniversary of Kirsty terrible death.

 

Great Christmas song!

The Pogues should record one sentence to replace "old $l*t on junk", just for the purposes of a radio edit. You wouldn't notice the edit at all that way.

Biography

 

Armed with a mesmerizing, nimble soprano—and a vocal register often likened to Mariah Carey’s and Christina Aguilera’s—Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into a pop and R&B powerhouse. Instantly recognizable thanks to her signature ponytail, cat ears, babydoll dresses, and breezy self-confidence, her slyly sexual personal brand has, like that of the Spice Girls before her, become an iconic image of young female power. But Grande is more than a symbol: Over the course of several albums and scores of hit singles—beginning with 2013’s “The Way” (featuring Mac Miler) through The Weeknd-assisted “Love Me Harder” and “Break Free” (featuring Zedd)—she has consistently outshined her male collaborators and deftly parlayed her stardom into activism. An LGBTQ advocate and outspoken feminist (“I’m tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present, or future PROPERTY,” she tweeted in 2016), she uses her platform to confront issues like misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and bullying, spreading a message of love over all. Nowhere was this more clear than in May 2017: After terrorists attacked her concert in Manchester, England, killing 22 and injuring hundreds, Grande continued her tour. "Perspective changes your life,” she told Beats 1’s Ebro Darden. "You want to stay in the moment and try not to give into fear, because obviously the whole point of finishing the tour was being there for my fans. You want to set the same example and keep going.” And that she did: Her Max Martin-produced smash “No Tears Left to Cry,” an escapist dance-floor triumph released a year after the attack, sends a message of hope and healing, with a dose of hear-me-roar attitude. - iTunes

Sweet Melody is amazing, I wish it had had a week at the top over Ariana.

 

The Pogues are amazing too, they deserve a week at #1, absolute classic!

COME ON MARIAH :cheeseblock:

Yay! Not no. 1 anymore. Go on Mariah!

WEVE GOT A NEW NUMBER ONE :cheer:

 

kudos to arianas dedication to 1x6-3 chart runs

about bloody time

Wham! for #1 next week please

Go Wham!

Tremendous chart run for Ariana. :clap:

 

I'm a fan of both the Mariah and Wham! songs so I'm not mad about either overtaking (even if it does feel a little bit early for this level of domination :lol:)

Positions zzzz wake me up when its over.

 

At least its a smooth 1-3 drop like Slade wanted.

 

Bring on more of 34+35 now instead.

So one of Mariah or Wham is finally going to do it after all this time as famous number 2s! Historic.

A Christmas song #1 and it's not even Christmas week for another 2 weeks! We love to see it, this year of all years.

WE HAVE A NEW NUMBER ONE. WHO WILL IT BE?

I'm glad Positions is finally down from #1

Next 2 songs - 13 weeks at #2 between them without #1... until now

I am still mad at Sheeran for stealing Wham's Christmas number 1 the year after George Michael died.

Also pleased that Positions had such a decent run at number one, really proving how much of a flop it wasn't.

this could be it! Glad we've got a Xmas classic getting to #1 :heart:
