December 6, 20213 yr Hate when American Christmas songs get precedence when the brits do Xmas so much better!
December 6, 20213 yr Spotify's global playlists really boosting the American songs here this time around, I think Macca being a global superstar has also been aided. That would have been the case last week as well though.
December 7, 20213 yr Jona Lewis very close to the top 40 is most welcome! Never re-entered since its initial run.

December 10, 20213 yr not if last year is precedent, as seen in my post: Xmas songs stalled a bit with only one arrival to the top 40 (Ronettes moving 41-40) Sorry should have read your post first, :lol:
December 10, 20213 yr not if last year is precedent, as seen in my post: Xmas songs stalled a bit with only one arrival to the top 40 (Ronettes moving 41-40) Yes generally a lot of Christmas songs go down in chart position in the week before Christmas week I noticed before, what is the reason for that?
December 10, 20213 yr Yes generally a lot of Christmas songs go down in chart position in the week before Christmas week I noticed before, what is the reason for that? I think the novelty of hearing Christmas songs while putting up decs etc. wears off about now. They will mostly rise again in the week before Christmas, and then comes the big surge.
December 25, 20213 yr Author this week: 29 xmas songs top 40 64 xmas songs top 100 we could very well be set for the over 30 and over 70 options being correct for next week…
