November 21, 20231 yr what’s the point of them releasing a week early? unless it’s just the music video to drum up hype before the itunes release the following week? https://www.properchristmas.info/ Nope! Proper Christmas is available to Download and Stream on all platforms from 8th December 2023. It is released on Official Kulture records.
November 21, 20231 yr Maybe they know there's little to no chance of Xmas #1 but they could sneak in a week before when sales are lower.
November 21, 20231 yr Are girls aloud possibly in the running? I’d love them to release for Christmas. Maybe they’re going for a xmas number one to celebrate it being 21 years since their last xmas number one?

November 21, 20231 yr Maybe they know there's little to no chance of Xmas #1 but they could sneak in a week before when sales are lower. That’s what I thought, but they are branding it as a Christmas #1 attempt.
November 21, 20231 yr Maybe they'll wait until Christmas week to drop all their usual extra versions / Bandcamp exclusives to try and get 2 weeks in the chart for once? It is an odd decision though when this could actually be their best chance to date to pull it off.
November 21, 20231 yr Someone asked Kunt why on Facebook, he responded “the plan is to go a week early, I’ll explain all in due course”.
November 21, 20231 yr So to stop a Christmas classic (probably Wham!) getting there this year, somebody basically needs to come along and sell at least 60k, which feels unlikely unless there is a physical/download campaign of some magnitude. I'd probably bet on The Sidemen too at this point. Imagine if a superstar used it as the week to unleash a comeback single. I guess it would still get trampled over by the Christmas noise, unless it was the lead from a new Harry Styles or Taylor Swift album.

I shoved a fiver on Sidemen when they were 20/1 a while back so I'm *really* hoping they come through for me :drama: Also got a fiver on Wham! @ 10/1
November 21, 20231 yr Ironic really that it was there for the taking for The Beatles, plus they could have got their record of most Xmas No.1s back again (albeit not simultaneous like LadBaby), and they just released in November instead :lol:

November 21, 20231 yr Yes, and I guess maybe they were taken by surprise that it was even a contender for No.1 at all. Be interesting to see how those two albums hold up over Xmas now, hopefully they will prove to be a popular gift and won’t just tank straight out.
