Exactly^ comments like A would be here if B didn't exist always make me roll my eyes as people's streaming habits might change entirely just if a small selection of songs didn't exist.

I would assume "pop audience" listens to Christmas music the most when r&b/rap fans do not but of course I don't have any stats (and I don't think anyone has)

I think we can be pretty certain Raye would be #1.

 

But yeah otherwise it is all a bit

Sam would’ve stopped Stormzy going to #1 in the album chart if they released at the same time judging by the sales so far

If x number of tracks weren’t commercially available, then the theme tune to Dad’s Army would be #1

In this instance I think x is a rather large number (but I get your point)! :)

Bloody Mary is the second song after RUTH to be given a reset thanks to Netflix

Metallica also got a reset due to Stranger Things.

Great to see Sam's original 'Seventeen Going Under' album receive a huge boost due to the release of the live version too! :wub:

Forgot about that. So there’s 3 songs being given resets due to Netflix

I'd surely say 'Bloody Mary' is more due to TikTok (directly) than Netflix?

Well technically its a tik tok trend based on a dance in a Netflix TV show so your both right

but the song is not on the netflix show? It's just tiktok lol

Correct, although the trend wouldn’t be a thing without the show ‘Wednesday’ - so it’s a bit of both.

but it's not like people have watched Stranger Things, noticed RUTH and gone and streamed it or bought it

it's more like people streaming Doja Cat-Say So cos they saw the dance on tiktok

RUTH was also heavily boosted by a TikTok trend as far as I could tell, though the trend of course wouldn't have happened without Stranger Things.

Regardless, the reset is still partially “thanks to Netflix”, which was the original point.

That will help it get a few extra sales, its going to be very close between Mariah and Wham for Number 1 this week.
