If the resurgence of Christmas songs is good for something... it's getting Meghan Trainor out of the Top 10.

maybe they don't, but still they have 45 munutes left, plus its the highest charting song from them all so surely thats the one they should play?

maybe the bbc isnt a fan of the whole 'killing her ex' theme

They're probably afraid of the Daily Mail accusing them of playing an anti-police song.

Biography

 

Though his name is unfamiliar to most, Bobby Helms rules the airwaves every year around December 25th. His single "Jingle Bell Rock" first became a hit in 1957, and it reappeared on the charts four of the following five years to become an all-time Christmas classic. Before he was pigeonholed, though, Helms had a successful country career with two number one hits to his credit.

 

Born on August 15, 1933, in Bloomington, IN, Helms first performed on his father Fred's Monroe County Jamboree, singing while brother Freddie played guitar. The Helms Brothers, as they were billed, became a regional attraction. Bobby later cut a single called "Tennessee Rock and Roll," but then returned to Bloomington to appear on the Hayloft Frolic television show. While on the program, he was encouraged to go to Nashville to sing background vocals on an Ernest Tubb session. Tubb recommended him to Decca Records, and the label signed him in 1956. His debut single, "Fraulein," initially flopped in January 1957 but then hit number one on the country chart in April. (The song also hit the pop Top 40 in July of 1957.) In October, Helms released another number one, "My Special Angel," which stayed four weeks at the top and crossed over to number seven pop.

 

Helms' next recording was "Jingle Bell Rock"; though Decca released it only two days before Christmas 1957, the single still peaked at number six on the pop chart. Two 1958 singles -- "Just a Little Lonesome" and "Jacqueline" -- hit the country Top Ten but flopped elsewhere, though a reissue of "Jingle Bell Rock" made the pop Top 40. The country single "Lonely River Rhine" hit the Top 20 in 1960, but subsequent new material from Helms had little success. (Decca reissued his Christmas hit each year from 1960 to 1962 with diminishing returns.)

 

Helms toured throughout the '60s and recorded two albums for Kapp in 1966, I'm the Man and Sorry My Name Isn't Fred -- a nod either to brother Freddie or father Fred. Two years later, he released All New Just for You on the Little Darlin' label. Several singles placed modestly on the country charts during 1967-1968, including "He Thought He'd Die Laughing" and "So Long." The 1970 Certron single "Mary Goes 'Round" was his last hit, but Helms recorded Pop-a-Billy for MCA as late as 1983. - Apple Music

I doubt there's any logic behind Kill Bill being skipped, but it's a shame it's one of the new entries and not the re-entry that got skipped.

 

(also I don't think it's fair to say it was skipped to play Ariana, any other song in the show could've been axed to play it really)

 

yh i agree w the 2nd bit, im glad ari was played as its a great song, plus they cut it short too... shame about sza tho. actually so dissapointed

Biography

 

venbee

Venbee, a twenty-one-year-old from Chatham, Kent (UK), started writing music at the age of 8 after watching her grandad play the piano. By the age of twelve, she had already decided she wanted to be a musician. ‘Music has always been my strong point, it’s one of the only things that help me get through the ups and downs of life,’ says Venbee. ‘If I didn’t do music I’d probably be working a dead-end job, only thinking ‘what ifs.’’ Looking up to artists like Carol King, Lola Young, Adele and Billie Eilish for sonic and lyrical inspiration, Erin also looks up to Demi Lovato’s sense of self and the familiarity she brings as a role model. She states, ‘I am and will always be unapologetically myself. I’m a bit of a nutter. When people listen to my songs, I hope they can relate.’ Freestyling and memorizing the lyrics alongside rhythm guitar to combat her dyslexia, Venbee is currently working on her debut EP set to release in 2022. - Soundcloud

 

goddard.

'goddard.' is an electronic music producer and DJ from Kettering, United Kingdom. An artist with an impressively varied sonic palette, Goddard has travelled an interesting path before arriving at his current resting place within the electronic community. The artists relationship with electronic music has seen him hold a presence in House, Techno and ambient genres - creating a platform for an exploratory journey into emotive and enriching sound. Citing influence from artists like Maribou State, Bonobo, Chase & Status. Goddard now finds himself fusing the experience of his past with his love for Drum and Bass to create a boundless end product that can be described as limitless and freestanding electronic music - not defined by genre or concept. Very much a musician’s musician, he is a firm believer in the ‘fewer samples and more writing’ ethos - allowing him to harness a standout sonic signature and set him apart from the crowd. - Spotify

I've actually never heard of this Whamgeddon thing outside of the Chart Show. If it was so big then surely it'd be getting less streams lol.
Hate 'Jingle Bell Rock' so glad it's kept out Top 10. No doubt it will get there on 30th Dec chart

Biography

 

The Pogues were an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in Kings Cross, London in 1982, as "Pogue Mahone" – the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles. MacGowan left the band in 1991 owing to drinking problems, but the band continued – first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals – before breaking up in 1996. The Pogues re-formed in late 2001, and played regularly across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014. The group did not record any new material during this second incarnation. Their politically-tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, banjo, cittern, mandolin and accordion. - Wikipedia

Biography

 

Grime attracts big personalities, but even by the genre’s imposing standards, Stormzy isn’t so much a rapper as a force of nature: a 6’5” lyrical whirlwind boasting a powerhouse voice and one of the most impressive ascents in pop music, stepping up to headline Glastonbury within five years of his debut EP. Born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. in 1993, Stormzy was still a boy when grime was in its infancy, and he came up battling fellow teens at youth centers in his native Croydon, London. By the time he was 20, he had launched his “WickedSkengMan” series, uploading freestyles over classic grime beats, and he swiftly developed a rep for his tough staccato flow and pugnacious attitude. Fittingly, Stormzy performed his 2015 single “Shut Up,” one of his earliest hits, at a heavyweight boxing match. “I set trends, dem man copy/They catch feelings, I catch bodies,” he raps on the song, and it’s true that when he throws down the gauntlet, he tends to make history: 2015’s “WickedSkengMan 4” was the first freestyle ever to break into the UK Top 40, and in 2017, his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, was the first grime album to go to No. 1 in the UK charts, 14 years after Dizzee Rascal’s Mercury Prize-winning Boy in da Corner first carved out a space in UK pop for the upstart underground genre. But Stormzy quicky proved himself interested in more than just besting his rivals, instead using his platform to become the voice of conscience for young and marginalized people across the UK. At Glastonbury 2017, he delivered a moving tribute to the victims of that summer’s Grenfell Tower fire; at the 2018 BRIT Awards, he aimed a scathing freestyle at Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government he accused of negligence after the fire. Musically, too, Stormzy has shown a willingness to push beyond grime’s traditional limits, dipping into R&B and gospel as he vacillates between taunts and introspection. “I would be a bit fake if I just gave you pure grime albums,” Stormzy told Apple Music. “I’m going to embrace my musicality because that is true to me as well. I love melody and I love R&B and I love pop music. Bruv, I’m going to do whatever I like.” - Apple Music
