Weird lyric about Snowman bringing snow. Made of snow.

Taylor will be on ACR so probably out of the equation for the Top 5 in 2 weeks - I suppose they might reset her but I doubt it.

Biography

 

Even before she dropped her debut single in 2014, Meghan Trainor already had it made. By that point, the 20-year-old Nantucket native had achieved the dream of many aspiring singer/songwriters: to infiltrate the inner sanctum of Nashville’s Music Row. But as it turns out, co-writing songs for country stars like Rascal Flatts and Hunter Hayes was the warm-up for what came next. Upon its release in the summer of 2014, Trainor’s first solo single, “All About That Bass,” swiftly became the most inescapable pop earworm of the year, thanks to a rump-shaking, retro-R&B sound that filled the void vacated by the late Amy Winehouse and a then-dormant Adele. But not only did the song transform Trainor into an instant, cross-generational pop star, its celebration of plus-size physiques made her a spokesmodel for body positivity at a time when there were few such role models in the entertainment industry. (And that motivational ethos would make her a natural choice to judge singing-competition shows like The Voice UK.) With the release of the full-length Title in 2015, Trainor became just the 13th woman in pop history to have both her first single and first album go to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, but on the follow-up, Thank You, she proved she was no mere throwback artist, as singles like “Me Too” and “No” updated her old-school aesthetic for modern-day dance floors. And on 2020’s Treat Myself, she further immersed herself in contemporary club sounds, applying her Aretha-sized sass to the synth-pumped thump of “No Excuses” and EDM-washed “Wave.” But even as her muse has drifted from Motown to Minaj (who turns up on the ASMR&B duet “Nice to Meet Ya”), Trainor’s self-help mission remains on course. “Every message that I give when I’m writing songs, it’s all to me,” she told Apple Music, where she also hosts Dirty Pop Radio. “I keep listening to these songs and I keep having to remind myself, ‘baby girl, love yourself.’” Trainor’s ongoing success lies in her ability to find new and creative ways to translate those personal affirmations into communal anthems. - Apple Music

Great line!

I think they will reset her tbh, look what happened with Adele last January

'Made You Look' :music: not as good as some of her other hits but still a guilty bop!

Hard to believe Wizzard was still the third highest charting Christmas entry outwith the new ones as late as 2013. It's popularity has declined dramatically even without the American centric Sootify playlists.

Yeah I'm fairly sure Taylor will get reset if they're doing things the same way they did this year

Amazed The Darkness is never top 40 year after year. Don't think it has re-entered there since release year. A modern Xmas classic criminally overlooked.

 

Yes strange that

'This and That' has dubstep on it though which would have been nice to hear again in the charts.

DAMN, This Or That is the best christmas song this year. I Love it. Those Earth-Shaking vocals and the powerful lyrics. :lol:

Jessie aware will be happy Sir Paul was skipped

annoyingly this is growing on me, it was ok but im starting to like it lol remember when we thought this would be the first #1 on the new year

they reset adele in january... so who knows

Yeah but I think the label saw #1 was available and asked for it for that reason. Who knows though.

Thank God Wonderful Christmastime has been skipped.

Biography

 

Christopher Anton Rea (/ˈriːə/ REE-ə; born 4 March 1951) is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky-gravel voice and slide guitar playing, and the Guinness Rockopedia described him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart".

 

After learning to play the guitar relatively late in his early twenties, which was followed by a short local band activity, Rea began his solo career in 1978 and has produced twenty-five solo albums, but some of them from his later blues period like Blue Guitars (2005) have multiple discs. The British Hit Singles & Albums stated that Rea was "one of the most popular UK singer-songwriters of the late 1980s" and "already a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with the release of the single "The Road to Hell (Part 2)", which was his 18th chart entry." Two of his most successful studio albums, The Road to Hell (1989) and Auberge (1991), topped the UK Albums Chart. His other hit songs include "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", "Stainsby Girls", "Josephine", "On the Beach", "Let's Dance", "Driving Home for Christmas", "Working on It", "Tell Me There's a Heaven", "Auberge", "Looking for the Summer", "Winter Song", "Nothing to Fear", "Julia", and "If You Were Me", a duet with Elton John. Rea was nominated three times for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist: in 1988, 1989 and 1990.

 

Rea has never toured the United States and is best known there for the 1978 single "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", which reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This success earned him a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1978. As of 2009, Rea had sold more than 30 million records worldwide. - Wikipedia

i agree! so boring... though chris rea isnt much better :rolleyes:

I hope Taylor doesn’t get a reset if she hits ACR. If anything, I hope she focuses on her next single LH

Edited December 23, 20223 yr by Hadji

I don't get the hate for Wonderful Christmastime, it's one my favourite Christmas songs.

Not super huge on Chris Reading either but it's ok.

Yeah but I think the label saw #1 was available and asked for it for that reason. Who knows though.

Was it not just everything that went to ACR after a particular week in December that got reset? That explains Adele.
