Feels surreal that it’s been streamed more times in the past month than Say You’ll Be There, 2 Become 1 & Spice Up Your Life :o

169.4k streams on Wednesday and as mentioned above it’s now their 3rd most popular track on Spotify

From the OCC page (Christmas TV guide) all music related programmes over Christmas.

 

 

Britain’s Favourite '90s Songs (CH5, 6.25pm)

Channel 5 count down the biggest-sellers from the 90s. Expect Wet Wet Wet, Cher, the Spice Girls, Whitney Houston, Aqua, Elton John and Puff Daddy to show up in this countdown.

 

Fingers crossed we get updated sales and it's not a repeat.

Checked the schedule on BBC

 

TOTP Christmas Special from 1998 will air on BBC Four on Monday Dec 19th at 8pm

 

I looked at BBC Two on Saturday and it's the 1988 special that evening.

Nice bit of promo on tv and great streams for Christmas wrapping.

Nice!

 

Bless Channel 5, they always have the most random schedule lol

169.4k streams on Wednesday and as mentioned above it’s now their 3rd most popular track on Spotify

That's great, it is the song's second highest daily total so far! :cheer:

It's been streamed over 1.5m times since it was added to the Christmas Pop playlist ^_^

That’s the power of playlists and receiving extra streams

 

That’s why Ed Sheeran is 1000x platinum :D

 

Thank you, Jay for the stats and for keeping track of the song’s progress.

So true :lol:

 

And not a problem :wub: Enjoying keeping track of this! Another great update today for Christmas Wrapping:

 

daily: 174,919 / total: 2,955,347 [Thursday 15th]

 

I'll predict the next update will be its largest daily figure so far, fingers crossed! And I would like to see this manage a 200k+ day.

Christmas Wrapping was streamed 195k times on Friday! Its highest ever streaming day on Spotify!

Would it have any chance of entering the top 100 this week?

Probably not, and I would be surprised if it even gets Top200

 

If they were clever, they would put in on their playlists and then do a small campaign every year. Wild that it doesnt event have a tweet or an insta from them..

 

A quick insta post with a picture of them and a link to the track or even the Spice Christmas playlist would do wonders for it (and maybe give Goodbye also a boost?..). Get it in their This Is Spice Girls and Best Of playlists at least!!

sammy was asking for a download campaign on the 23rd. Could be a good one, or even earlier? Say on the 22nd, so that the streams for all of this week (where it will be at its strongest) are boosted by a download campaign on the thursday (which is also the day where streams dont count as much)?...

A lot of these Christmas Wrapping streams are occurring outside of the UK, so I don't think it'll be anywhere close to making the Top 100 official chart here (note that there isn't a Top 200 chart anymore, not since before Summer 2017).

 

195,013 is its worldwide figure yesterday, while the #200 in the UK was streamed 71,844 times and Christmas Wrapping isn't in that Top 200. So that's at least 123,169 from all other countries, which is a minimum of just over 63%. I'm very curious to know how many streams it's managing in the UK alone, but unfortunately there's no way of knowing unless it does make the Top 200 Spotify UK list at some point.

 

Unfortunately because it's such an old song it is on ACR (accelerated chart ratio) which means that whatever streams it manages in the UK, the OCC only counts half of its streams going towards the UK chart (note that the full streams total will contribute to its single sales total though).

 

I wonder if the 23rd, 24th and 25th (and maybe even 26th) streams in total might be higher than the 16th through to the 22nd overall streaming total? I think the main thing about a download campaign would just be to see it chart as high as possible on iTunes, rather than it being able to chart.

 

It's definitely a shame that their team hasn't reacted to Christmas Wrapping. I don't know why they don't help them out more. <_< Quite a missed opportunity to capitalise on these streams and push it further. The mailer promoted "Spice Girls Best Of" and it should have had this (and Sleigh Ride!) added, but nope.

Christmas Wrapping has moved up to #2 in their Popular Top 10 list on Spotify :cheer: Too Much also moved ahead of Mama, not sure when that happened but it was earlier than this particular update.

 

 

Just to make this thread more than just Christmas Wrapping... I always say this every Christmas, but 2 Become 1 somehow sounds as its best at this time of year, to me :wub: I'm also thinking of watching their Christmas in Spiceworld 1999 show again, before Christmas Day. :cool:

The thing with Christmas songs that have become hits in the streaming era is they have grown year on year. That is what we and Universal should be pushing for. Make the most of this year, have Christmas wrapping high on itunes, getting as many streams as possible. Then radio will pick it up, playlists next year outside the big one it is on will be more likely to add it and more people in general be aware of it and add it to their own personal xmas playlists and go to songs. Then in a couple of years it is charting every year.

 

Christmas Wrapping was streamed 217k times on Saturday its highest streaming day 👏

 

217k is massive it is ridiculous Universal are doing nothing to push this further. I cant remember figures from 2019 but I doubt any of their songs bar Wannabe has ever done 217k in a single day.

Wow at it going well over 200k! :cheer:

Not in the UK Spotify Top 200; the #200 did 69,412.

 

 

I thought it would be interesting to see how well it's doing in comparison to The Waitresses original. Their version is pretty popular but it's spread out over 4 versions in their Popular Top 10.

 

Their daily figures on Saturday 17th:

 

daily: 169,699 / total: 24,326,624 (this is doing well in the UK: 83,724 of the streams come from here, almost half of this version's daily amount & #142 on Spotify UK)

daily: 112,589 / total: 16,200,301 [single Edit]

daily: 34,058 / total: 6,669,406

daily: 2,672 / total: 529,467 [Long Version]

overall daily: 319,018 / overall total: 47,725,798
