December 10, 20213 yr Kiss Me It's Christmas has been added to BBC Radio 2's playlist. B-Listed. Really good news, fingers crossed A list next week. Hopefully enough to help the track go top 75. We just need more playlist placements and the tracks future after this year will be more secure.
December 11, 20213 yr Considering she was #77 earlier in the week, I assume she must've at least been close to making the top 100. It's a shame they don't seem to care enough to try and push her on Spotify, since that seems to be what's essentially holding it back.
December 11, 20213 yr Yeah I mean, they’ve gone to the trouble of recording it and re-releasing the album. So they might as well get that playlist support as well and try and get it out there a bit.
December 11, 20213 yr Is she not on a smaller label meaning they have less influence? The Christmas, With Love Always reissue is released via Sony. I guess they just don't care about trying to make this reissue a success.
December 11, 20213 yr I mean it's getting decent support on Apple Music/Amazon. It's mainly spotify playlist support it needs which is likely out of the hands of her label. In saying that it might go top 200 there in Monday's update for Sunday. Even then, "One More Sleep" doesn't get as good support on spotify as it does on Apple Music. It usually gets placed lower in a lot of the US-biased playlists (which are usually the biggest Christmas playlists). So I didn't expect "Kiss Me It's Christmas" to get much support. Edit: Noticed "Kiss Me It's Christmas" is #7 in a fairly recently made playlist called New Music Holiday. It already has over 100,000 likes which is promising.

You make a great a point. It does appear some or most of the playlists are US based which makes sense when you see Ariana and Kelly Clarkson we’ll ahead. I mean I’m sure there’s other contributing factors too.
December 12, 20213 yr One More Sleep was just played on Australian radio. So great hearing it! Ah that’s good to hear. Great to see it building a reputation outside the UK. I have enjoyed seeing the international Christmas charts and seeing which new territories OMS is breaking through in. Had Switzerland in 2018, the Netherlands in 2019 and Germany last year (where Winter Wonderland had previously been the bigger song). Edited December 12, 20213 yr by GTH
December 12, 20213 yr Leona is on Sunday Brunch next week 19/12/21! I saw them plug Kiss Me It’s Christmas around one of the ad breaks today. Hopefully we get a performance that week.
December 18, 20213 yr Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like One More Sleep has had a big jump on the biggest Spotify playlist Christmas Hits now it has had it's annual update. Pretty sure it was around the 60th song mark last I checked a week or two ago, but now it is #32. Hopefully will help with its international performance this year. Kiss Me It's Christmas has also been added to the Christmas Is Coming & Easy Christmas playlists (there are probably some more but those are the ones in the top two rows of Christmas playlists they show). :cheer: Edited December 18, 20213 yr by GTH
