but it's not showing signs of slowing down yet so hard to tell

seems to be naturally growing slightly every week so far

I feel like it's bound to have started declining by its 6th week (especially as I'm sure more people will have switched to listening to mostly/only Christmas music by then).

Xmas #1 week is Dec 15-21

even if Dec 15 is not its peak week and its on decline, it's not gonna do half relative to Wham/Mariah

who are not gonna do 1 million on Dec 15

Wham! did 54k on the corresponding week last year and so far this year they (and other Christmas songs) are outperforming their run from last year. Jack Harlow isn't even doing that much now let alone 4 weeks from now, he basically has no room to decline at all unless Wham! start stalling which there's no sign of yet.

 

(Spotify numbers are not the be all end all for Wham! but for what it's worth they did go as high as 899k on 17th December last year).

Harlow could also easily release a new duet version and then with 2 versions he would be #2 for sure

Harlow could also easily release a new duet version and then with 2 versions he would be #2 for sure

Isn’t that what Ed Sheeran did with “Perfect” to get number one?

Well sure maybe but there's no indication that he's going to do that! It's going to be #1 in the US this week anyway.

Oh that's just Alexa's chart privilege. Happened with Ella too.

 

So are Alexa plays not included in Amazon's own chart?

Kelly at 5 and Leona at 6 on Apple Music, still smashing 10 years later as they deserve 😍

Christmas songs now have nine out of the top 10 on Apple with Jack Harlow at #1 the only exception. Shaky ahead of Mariah now before you consider her second version also in the top 100

Those are weekend figures I imagine they will fall again today until next Friday.

Christmas songs at #1, #2 & #3 (Brenda). 'Mr Brightside' still top 50 just!

Edited November 27, 20231 yr by Stitch

Keane's Somewhere Only We Know is also in at #189. Not a Christmas song of course, but has been associated with it since the John Lewis ad.

I am so happy to see 'Santa Can't You Hear Me' become a hit each year since it's release. Hoping it gets another top 40 place this year.

 

But overall, I cba with Xmas music rn. It's getting earlier and earlier each year...
