The power of playlisting.

Kinda gone under the radar, but Rockin’ around the Christmas tree is less than 40k behind Mariah now

 

She’s finished!!!!!

Doesn't Brenda Lee have a second version on Spotify too?

I guess they all have many versions below the t200?

Brenda's second version actually made the top 200 on Christmas Day the last couple of years though - and last year she was actually ahead of Mariah combined on the day.

Looks like Brenda has the December 2026 #1 sewn up haha.

rather Brenda Lee than Wham or Mariah tbh

(or Feliz Navidad!!)

Feliz Navidad will probably get it in 2032 at the rate it's going

I really think Feliz Navidad has become genuinely popular in the last couple years

You kinda hear it everywhere

And funnily lately lots of people is asking me about it, a lot of people seems curious about the lyrics, meaning etc how to pronounce it

while nobody ever asked me not even once in the past

(I'm bilingual Spanish thats why everyone asks now)

not if the occ do more sneaky rule changes :kink:

Could SZA upset Raye in January and deny her number 1

she still only has half the streams relative to Raye

Could SZA upset Raye in January and deny her number 1

I doubt it, she is still not doing as well and Raye has a second version. I think she will get Top 5 at the very least though which is very impressive!

I only speak a tiny bit of Spanish because I lived there for 4 months, but I noticed that in English words that end in -ity are usually the same in Spanish but with -idad at the end. But as far as I know navity is not a word? :o I would guess nativity but that should be natividad in Spanish.

^English and Latin languages (Spanish, Italian etc) have different roots for the word Christmas

in Latin languages it comes from "Natal" which means "Birth",

in English it comes from Christ... so totally different source...

 

In other (bad) news, big climb from Central Che-Let Go up to #9 on Apple :/

probably a similar climb today on Spotify

Looks like Central cee will be challenging for no1 when the Xmas songs disappear, lol BJ should be fun that week!

I don't even want to consider the possibility of that Central Cee turd keeping Raye from #1.

As expected big jump for Central Cee

So excluding Christmas songs the Spotify top 5 today:

 

1 Raye 357+133 =490k

2 SZA - Kill Bill 347k

3 Central Cee 342k

4 Taylor - Anti-Hero 255k

5 Bugzy Malone - Out Of Nowhere 238k

I don't even want to consider the possibility of that Central Cee turd keeping Raye from #1.

The way I can see it happening, gross. Will be one of the biggest chart injustices of recent times, despite what you think of Raye's song.

 

But I'm sure we will get some hilarious and shocking takes saying "can't wait to see people pissed off 😂" on here just to be quirky and different and get the attention they so sorely seek.

Didn't realise Bugzy was now top 5 on Spotify without Christmas songs. That's some good news at least.
