December 19, 20231 yr Yeah Last Christmas will be getting 4 weeks at #1 every year from now probably, so only 4 years till it breaks I Believe's record. 100% They either let this happen and it kills the charts, or they move Xmas songs of a certain age to a separate Christmas chart. I think all Xmas songs before 1990 should be removed from the charts. They mean nothing to us.
December 19, 20231 yr Christmas songs being popular at Christmas doesn’t seem like doomsday to me like Chloe said if you look at the last 20-30 #1’s most are rubbish X factor stuff or ladbaby with a few bob the builder and such as well. If anything wham is the best number 1 in a decade
December 19, 20231 yr Christmas songs after 1990 are simply more relevant and more true to life!! 1990s started the modern Xmas songs era.

December 19, 20231 yr It’ll be the first time one of Mariah wham or pogues have been Christmas #1 right? Not exactly dominant. Lasbaby got 4 years in a row! 5 years in a row! Yeah, the last Christmas song to get Christmas #1 was 2004, it's been long overdue imo! 'Sausage Rolls For Everyone' is a Christmas song! Build a fire and gather 'round the tree Come and sing and dance to sausage rolls with me Here we go, we are back Trying to make history for charity And may I introduce to you Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John No pressure Let's have a party, it's Christmas Day Your mum's cooking turkey But been moaning since yesterday The presents are open and the bin bags are put away Just until Boxing Day Let's dance, Merry Christmas Get to the iamspamspamamifor sausage rolls Kids, drop your toys And dance along to rock and roll Everyone's here, and now the dog's got the trifle bowl This is pure family goals Let's sing, Merry Christmas (come on!) The sausage rolls are on (yes, mate) And our family are back, joined as one We're having so much fun While we're here Can we all spare a thought for the kids who have none Sausage rolls for everyone (Aye, sausage rolls, come on) Wishing that Christmas was here to stay The last one was lovely, so I'm glad that it's come again It won't be the same this year since loved ones have passed away We miss them every day Let's pray, Merry Christmas Coming together for something good We're singing in PJs, but we're helping the neighbourhood We came back with sausage rolls just like you knew we would And doesn't my mate look good Oh yeah, Merry Christmas I feel my hunger comes Every time the oven turns on Filled up with so much love Every pound for this song goes to helping the people along Sausage rolls for everyone (yes, mate) It's Christmastime, sausage rolls and wine We'll have a good night and a Merry Christmas It's Christmastime, sausage rolls and wine We'll have a good night and a Merry Christmas It's Christmastime, sausage rolls and wine We'll have a good night and a Merry Christmas It's Christmastime, sausage rolls and wine We'll have a good night and a Merry Christmastime (It's Christmas!)

If anything wham is the best number 1 in a decade Yeah this is probably the bigger issue. Current artists not pushing their Christmas songs enough, or not writing good enough Christmas songs, so labels don't push them and radios don't play them much. Means all the old songs are still at the top of the pile. There's been a few in the 21st century and a handful since about 2010 but since about 2004 it's just been: X Factor winner's song, a choir doing a song for charity, some YouTubers doing a song for charity, etc. Kinda become a mockery of itself. The last proper race was 2003 but that's cos The Darkness gave it a proper go, Gary Jules & Michael Andrews got some radio backing, and, much as it was shite, Bo Selecta put some effort in to make a novelty song. 2009 was just an X Factor winner vs. people who didn't like the X Factor anymore, hardly a proper race, exciting as it was.
December 19, 20231 yr 'Sausage Rolls For Everyone' is a Christmas song! Not to mention 'Food Aid' being a cover of the same song that was the 2004 Christmas #1 :kink: I'm able to cash out my Wham! bet with bet365 for a profit of £50.72 now (will be £75 profit if I stick it out)... we're really running out of time for any campaign to start to deny them the #1 and the appetite just doesn't seem to exist (after all the talk of potential campaigns for The Pogues their midweek sales are actually down week-on-week, think they are only going to be saved at this point if they've somehow sold an absolute ton of vinyl and who knows if they even printed enough for that!)
December 19, 20231 yr Tbf the only ladbaby song not to mention Christmas in the lyrics is I love sausage rolls
December 19, 20231 yr Wham! getting Xmas #1 year after year would be at least more deserved than a rubbish charity song that'd get forgotten the next week, or Alexa shenanigans. Though ideally the climate for regular music to smash through would be stronger (Noah Kahan would've made for a great Xmas #1 this year but it's too late for that now)
December 19, 20231 yr The last 2 LadBaby #1s are definitely 100% Christmas songs, although the others are a bit more debatable.
December 19, 20231 yr Yes it is Well it's clearly not :lol: Who wants to help me kick off the campaign to get pre 1990 xmas songs into a compilations chart? I'm gonna start with bbc1 and tweeting before makin an officual petition I think
December 19, 20231 yr Personally I think we should just move Christmas songs by artists whose names start with the letter M to a separate chart. No more Michael Bublé so I'm sure BuzzJack would support this campaign ^_^
