December 16, 20214 yr If LadBaby get Xmas #1, they’ll beat Spice Girls' record of most consecutive Xmas #1s and Ed Sheeran will also be the first artist since Westlife in 1999 to score four #1s in the same year So much tragedy in one post.
December 16, 20214 yr So much tragedy in one post. at least westlife did it on their own - no collaboration and no abusive collaborations either
December 16, 20214 yr And to me it's looking an almost certainty :angry: The Ed/Elton collaboration needs to get bigger, or something random and unexpected needs to be released and blow up! I think the Boris Johnson thing is the only competition, depends if people's anger boils over into (vastly) increased sales this year. I'm not actually sure that LadBaby going for a less recognisable song will help them, even with Ed and Elton on it. I know it will have been No.1 for two weeks but Merry Christmas is hardly going to be a classic singalong in the minds of the general public at this stage like, funnily enough, the Shakin' Stevens song we were expecting would have been. Then again, I guess a lot of people buying it will care not for how it sounds, and more about the cause it's supporting. Either way, 100-130k sales would be my prediction and it's not absolutely insurmountable that The K*nts could get up that way too with media focus and social media support in the right places.

December 16, 20214 yr The Kunts are also releasing 7 versions of their single tomorrow, with more during the week I'd imagine!

December 16, 20214 yr Thought The Beatles had the record? They had 4 Christmas no. 1s but not consecutively (1963, 1964, 1965, 1967). They had 4 no. 1s in 1963 according to all the music papers and the BBC chart but not in Record Retailer (which is what the OCC use for their "official" charts).

The Spice Girls didn't have four consecutively either, so it will be The Beatles and the Spice Girls record of 3 that gets broken. Let's give the old bands their due...
December 16, 20214 yr Still pray Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad top 40 Didnt they enter the top 40 for the first time the week after Christmas last year (the chart where Wham were #1) *checks* Edit yep they did! Edited December 16, 20214 yr by Snakin' Stevens
December 16, 20214 yr Yeh it did, hopefully it repeaks this year Edited December 16, 20214 yr by Christmasteve201

December 16, 20214 yr They do seem to have momentum wifey everything that’s happened. I would just love a decent chart battle to reinvigorate the chart on Xmas week with Ladbaby and Kunts breaking 70k and then we will have Ed/Elton, Adele and the Wham/Mariah/Pogues selling 45k so sales will be Bouant!

Indeed a Christmas chart battle would be exciting but you promised you wouldn't call me wifey in public -_-
December 16, 20214 yr Would love Kunts to challenge but I can only see a comfortable number one for Ladbaby
December 16, 20214 yr I can't see it beating LadBaby but I do think the news of the last couple of weeks has been perfectly timed for it to challenge for #2. They are at 25/1 on bet365... hmm x
December 17, 20214 yr An actual neck to neck battle between them would be some unexpected excitement… I’d be rooting for the Kunts for the lolz and also because f**k the government and f**k Boris!
