November 15, 20231 yr AC/DC for Christmas Number 1 2023? Fans launch campaign for band's 50th anniversary More info here from the OCC.
November 16, 20231 yr The way LadBaby are advertising their new book on Instagram suggests to me that they're done with the Christmas #1s. After 5 years of Christmas number 1’s we want to inspire the next generation of little singers and get EVERYONE singing and dancing to a famous Christmas song with a Sausage roll twist. We hope you all love it! 🥰
November 16, 20231 yr Didn't they say they weren't gonna try every year after 2019 :lol: I might be wrong, but I don’t think they’ve ever actually confirmed that they won’t be releasing one before.
November 16, 20231 yr The Pogues are now favourite @ 6/4 due to Shane MacGowan's health battle. LadBaby now 2/1. Sidemen are 7/1. Wham! are 20/1 and Mariah 25/1 :drama:
November 16, 20231 yr I nominate 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here'! :D Hero of the thread confirmed!
November 16, 20231 yr Wham! are only 15/2 on bet365 (that still seems too generous, it's bound to happen one of these years... at least the bookies have caught onto them being more likely than Mariah) I'm not sure I could see The Pogues making much of a challenge even if the worst happened to Shane, the gap on streaming has just got too big.
November 16, 20231 yr I've just put £5 on Wham! at 20-1 and £5 on Mariah at 25-1, both on Coral. Really generous odds for both! https://www.oddschecker.com/novelty/christm...mber-one-single Edited November 16, 20231 yr by Mangø
November 16, 20231 yr If the farce of the old Christmas songs has to persist it would be nice if FONY could get there just once but I wouldn't wish for sad events just for the sake of it. Will probably be Wham.
November 17, 20231 yr BBC News now reporting a new challenger entering the race… Nala the Station Cat with her song “Meow” she’s a four year old cat ’famous’ for visiting Stevenage station lol Hopefully this can do the handful of downloads required to top the sales only chart because that would be pretty iconic ngl. :lol: :lol:
November 17, 20231 yr Oddschecker reports that The Pogues are the frontrunners for Christmas Number 1, with 89% of all bets placed so far.
November 17, 20231 yr Oddschecker reports that The Pogues are the frontrunners for Christmas Number 1, with 89% of all bets placed so far. "LadyBaby" are the second favourites according to them! :lol:
November 21, 20231 yr No LadBaby now then! And The Kunts are releasing a week early for some unexplained reason... @1726908255069413872
