Have you listened to it yet or just don’t like it because of the artist?

The video is out at 8am tomorrow, sounds like a banger!

Ed's performing on the Strictly final, presumably performing this as the final falls on Christmas #1 week.

Out at 5am GMT

I'm looking forward to hearing this in full,, plenty of bells in that clip.

#11 on NMF Australia on Spotify.

Also I don't see it on Hot Hits Australia but it may be added later.

Yeah this'll be huge

 

It’s pleasingly Christmassy!

It’s exactly what I expected from Ed/Elton and that’s not a bad thing. Obvious top 3 hit for the next month.

Will it be a classic?

well its not bad which is the best I could’ve hoped for. will see how it gets along with further listens.

Yeah I really like it and just bought it on iTunes. It's instantly catchy and melodic, well produced, festive and joyful and has some really nice chord progressions - especially in the verses and bridge and the final outro.

 

Sounds like the sort of song that was on Robbie's Christmas album a few years back.

 

Will be interesting to see:

 

1) How it does this week

2) Whether it holds up after the first week among the usual classics, especially on streaming - it will do well on sales right up to Christmas Day.

3) Whether longer term it hangs around like One More Sleep/Underneath The Tree/Santa Tell Me or disappears like...nearly every other modern Christmas song...

Video is fun too, nice homage to Shaky, Wizzard, Wham!, East 17, LadBaby and The Snowman/Walking In The Air. With those cameos too it all feels very, very British so I'm not sure how that will translate to its hit potential outside the UK/Ireland.

 

Also love the film crew showing up in the reflection of Elton's glasses at 2.24!

Quite enjoy this. Number 1 for sure!

Bloody hell that's good. Count me pleasantly surprised. Video is great too

CDs shipping on 10th should help it?

I enjoyed it! It’s pleasant and for sure a number one. Can it get the Xmas no.1 and hold off LadBaby? I’m not too sure, but can see it being number one this week.

Well, it's not bad, and they obviously worked hard on the song and video.

 

However, it is a little clinical and marketing department produced. There are so many Christmas bells in it, and it has been produced to within an inch of its life. It smacks a bit of desperation for the Cmas no.1, so it is ironic that the Sausages Gang will be like, um, no x

It definitely encapsulates the festive spirit and the video is a lot of fun.

 

I feel like it's gonna take quite a few listens for me to remember it though.
