November 26, 20231 yr Sam Ryder has overtaken Mariah and is only *just* behind Wham with William Hill. I can't with how clueless they are. Although we all know these Amazon exclusives always end up being autoplayed heavily by Alexa and doing better than anyone expects with the SCR advantage, so I don’t think he’s *that* wild a bet although still unlikely to beat Wham!
November 26, 20231 yr The fact William Hill think Sam Ryder has more of a chance than Jack Harlow The song is cheesy shet, and he shoulda done a Wizard-style one, but Alexa Goulding...
November 26, 20231 yr Yay no Lad Baby! I think some of these contenders (bar the usual songs and the big names) will be lucky to make the top 100. That Sleaford Mods cover of "West End Girls" is like hearing someone drunk or high on karaoke!! Murdered that song. It feels like thid yera it is wide openand there is some excitement again!!! Lad Baby were neeever gonna run again, after their brggin video last year.
November 26, 20231 yr Jack Harlow now @ 9/2, just behind Wham. Got a tenner on him when he was 8/1. Should have bet on it, damn! These top two odds actually look realistic for once.
November 27, 20231 yr Surely Jack Harlow still won't be pulling 50K+ sales in 4 week's time. Even his sales this week (52K) wouldn't beat Wham's last year of 54K so can't see him being a threat at all.
November 27, 20231 yr Yeah I wanted to bet Jack Harlow but his streams haven’t increased quite as much as I thought they would
November 27, 20231 yr I think Jorja Smith's Amazon Original will do better than Sam Ryder's on the charts. It's got that Ellie Goulding “River” feel where it's a Christmas song without being too in-your-face about it. Amazon Music can throw it on any of their pop and chill playlists and people will listen passively without thinking “ugh Christmas”.

Their playlists aren't going to change much in the next few weeks.
November 28, 20231 yr Sam Ryder is releasing a physical CD for “You’re Christmas to Me” on 15/12/2023: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CP2S2C8F
November 30, 20231 yr The Pogues could be a big contender following the passing of Shane earlier today
November 30, 20231 yr I know it’s grim circumstances but yeh The Pogues might have momentum to hit the top spot in a few weeks time.
November 30, 20231 yr Oh no! Didn’t realise Shane had passed away :( It would be good to see this finally get itself a #1 peak though. It’s probably my favourite Christmas song from the “classics”. We’ll see if a campaign takes off nearer the time, hopefully there will be one.
November 30, 20231 yr Aw no. RIP. I think if it's going to get to #1 now it's more likely it'll just happen next week than for Christmas but I'm not sure I can see it happening either way.
