Chart update is on next Sunday

Apparently, it's the 2020 chart edition.

Reigning champion LadBaby starts out in pole position for the UK’s Official Christmas Number 1 2020 with Don’t Stop Me Eatin’, charging out of the blocks in the biggest chart race of the year with huge sales.

 

The YouTubers aka Mark and Roxanne Hoyle have an impressive lead so far on the Official Chart: First Look, scoring 80,000 chart sales after 48 hours and on course to be one of the biggest opening weeks of the year.

 

The pair are currently the ones to beat as they set their eyes on a third consecutive Christmas Number 1 – following 2018’s We Built This City and 2019’s I Love Sausage Rolls – proceeds will once more benefit food bank charity The Trussell Trust.

 

Jess Glynne is on course for her highest-charting single in two years with This Christmas, which climbs seven places to Number 2 after the weekend’s initial sales and streams. Jess’ take on Donny Hathaway’s 1971 single is an Amazon Music exclusive which was released on signed CD and vinyl this past Friday (Dec. 18). Jess was last in the Official Chart Top 3 in December 2018 with Thursday.

 

The festive classics are up next - Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You is the UK’s most streamed track of the week so far (3) with Wham!’s Last Christmas just behind at Number 4 on the First Look Top 5.

 

Liam Gallagher could be heading for his first solo Top 10 single with festive charity release All You’re Dreaming Of (5) – released on 12" black and 7” limited edition white vinyl last Friday in aid of Action for Children, Liam claims the UK’s second best-seller of the week so far after LadBaby.

 

Justin Bieber’s Amazon Originals festive track Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree could become his 23rd UK Top 10 single, currently at Number 7, and while much of the nation are unable to travel right now, Chris Rea’s Driving Home For Christmas could return to its personal best chart peak of Number 11.

 

In at Number 19 after 48 hours is politically charged song Boris Johnson Is A F**king C*** by British synthpop comedian The K**ts. At just 56 seconds long the track is currently the third fastest-seller of the week.

 

Further down former chart rivals Justin Bieber and the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir have joined for a new version of the Canadian pop star’s Holy (33), the ICU Liberty Singers with their cover of Every Breath You Take (89), and Rig Aid’s It’s Christmas Time (It’s Time To Lash) from the Rig Biz podcast (91).

LadBaby 80,000

 

Wow! That’s really good. Pleased to see it raising money for the Trussel Trust which provides funds for food banks across the UK and most likely round the corner from you.

but why they kept mocking Chris rea thru the show?

Bieber, Jess and especially LadBaby have much worst singing voices

It's an impression because he has a distinctive voice. It's not because he has a bad voice.

I’d rather Ed release his new material in the new year and let LadBaby get it

I heard "80k ahead" so presumably he's done even more than 80k at this stage. Very impressive, looks like even Ed Sheeran may not be able to overtake those kinds of sales.

 

edit: oh I see that article now, anyway 80k already, that's a lot more than their last two still.

80K already? OMG :o

Apparently, it's the 2020 chart edition.

 

Yes

 

Some else done new year day chart to

80K FSFSFSFSFDSFDS OMGGGG

 

YESSS MAAAATE

 

eat them cold, eat them hot, sausage rolls are all we've got <3 <3 <3

Christmas Number 1 all ready confirmed no one g0ne canch ladbaby now last Ed Sheeran got rock block ladbaby sales up

Like I said yesterday, he'd already outsold Mariah's total from last week on Friday's sales alone so to think she still had a chance was stretching it a fair bit!

80k already?! :o Pretty sure that it's in the bag then. I don't think Ed can overtake - especially as it's likely Ladbaby will be on 100k+ by the time Ed releases.

The last act to sell more than 100k in a week falls down to: 23 May 2019 - 123,825 Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber – I Don’t Care

No matter what you think of it, those are some pretty extraordinary sales that you don't see every day!

Justin Bieber & NHS only managed #33 in the end.

as posted on the iTunes thread, the race was over on Friday already, Ladbaby was outselling Mariah 100:1,

Mariah is doing 500 copies a day on iTunes, so that meant 50K on Friday alone

 

just noticed Bieber/NHS are at #33

Wow 80k or 80k ahead that’s mental, didn’t think downloads could do that much anymore, fair play to him, least we will get a 150k seller this year for one week 😍

That’s insane, Ed will no way manage anything near that in three and a half days (if he is indeed releasing).

He's officially confirmed it now!
