"[Mariah] seems set to be some 100,000 copies behind in sales" is his prediction for Friday's outcome. In today's midweeks she's likely to be approaching 26k, making her 90k behind (I know this seems a bit pedantic to point out :heehee: )

Ah thanks for pointing that out, I was doing a quick skim read and missed that important detail!

No surprise that Ed’s not in this update as it doesn’t include most of Tuesday’s streams! He could have done 2 million on Spotify and still wouldn’t be in it. :D

Nice to know Ed is flopping, an Christmas miracle

Not a huge Ed fan but if he saves us from that disgraceful shit at no1 I will be extremely happy.

 

i m so so agree

:o I'll take that with a pinch of salt for now.

 

Take it with the amount of salt in the Atlantic Ocean. He got 280,000 streams on Spotify yesterday and is number 18 on there, then this statement would be correct!

if all her streams could be counted the gap would be much narrower but i cant complain as ive longed for it to be number 1 for years and it finally happened this year.

So Mariah will end up with 50k sales and Ladbaby 150k possibly! He hasn’t done too bad with the Ronan duet it’s added 36k since Sunday!

That boris song up to 6 and ed up to 44 occ just posted an article

Ed flopping. We LOVE to see it

Ed flopping. We LOVE to see it

Ed climbing to #1 next week, that's what we WILL see

That boris song up to 6 and ed up to 44 occ just posted an article

That article is dated yesterday

this is the OCC article:

 

According to the latest Official Charts Company data (Dec 23), reigning champs and midweek leaders LadBaby who claimed Christmas Number 1 in 2018 and 2019, are still out in front in the biggest chart race of the year with Don't Stop Me Eatin', raising money for food bank charity The Trussell Trust.

Festive favourites All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey (2) and Last Christmas by Wham! (3) trail behind LadBaby, while Jess Glynne's rendition of Donny Hathaway's This Christmas - newly recorded for 2020 - is at Number 4.

 

Essex synthpop outfit The K**ts have been scaling the Official Singles Chart this week with their track about the prime minister, titled Boris Johnson is a F***ing C***. The 56-second song, backed by Charlie Brooker and original Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, has climbed to Number 6 and is currently the UK's second most-downloaded song of the week.

 

Justin Bieber's cover of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree (9) and Liam Gallagher's All You're Dreaming Of (15), which is raising money for Action for Children, are also fighting it out inside the Top 20 with the Oasis star potentially on course for his highest-charting solo single to date.

 

Bieber is set for a total of three entries on this week's Official Christmas Chart Top 40: Mistletoe currently sits at 34, while Holy (including a new version featuring the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir) is at 35. In addition, a new song from Ed Sheeran, Afterglow, which was released on Monday morning, currently sits just outside the Top 40 (44) and is expected to climb further before the week is out.

Looks like we won't be getting an update tonight, MW have not updated anything since yesterday from 2:30pm onwards.

 

That seems to be your lot for this week, and it probably be the same for next week.

Wonder who Ed will be replacing in the top 40!?

 

Great to see Liam Gallagher looking likely to register a place in the top 40!

Liam already has though when it was released.

Also from OCC.

The knight of the realm is in pole position with his acclaimed album McCartney III, with Taylor Swift’s brand new Evermore album close behind – and bidding to retain the Number 1 placing.

 

Wonder how close Evermore is to Macca?

Well maybe a higher chart placing it deserves!

close behind probably means 10K behind :D

Ladbaby's margin at the top of the chart race is now 95,000 more than his closest rival (Mariah Carey).

 

The record by The Kunts was 100,000 behind on yesterdays's midweeks. Today it is 105,000 behind.

 

Today I will mostly be trolling those who say it is "heading for No.1".

Think he said that it's dropped just out of the Top 10.;
