40 Top 10 weeks for All I Want For Christmas Is You

Forty weeks Top 10 - soon to be 44, and then 50 in a few years - but it's clearly as popular as ever.

AIWFCIY is the first song to spend 40 weeks in the UK Top 10! :cheeseblock:

Can I, rather belatedly, add my name to those who think today's stand-in presenter is doing a decent job? Who is he?

Biography

 

As the energetically punctuated Wham!, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley combined youthful high spirits with a polished union of disco and soul to become one of the defining pop acts of the 1980s. Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Michael) and Andrew John Ridgeley first met in secondary school as 12-year-olds back in 1975. Their 1981 debut as Wham!, the pop-rap snack “Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do?),” preached the joy of life on welfare amid rampant British unemployment. As the group’s principal songwriter and frontman, Michael’s exuberant turn on “Young Guns (Go for It!)” precipitated Wham!’s vibrant, post-disco debut, Fantastic, in 1983, which parlayed the duo’s carefree vigor into the glistening hedonism of “Club Tropicana.” Returning in 1984 with the emphatic “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” the group folded Detroit soul into an effervescent pop marvel that sent Wham! to the summit of the U.S. pop charts. Michael took over production on their follow-up album, Make It Big, whose modernized Motown sound on the brooding boogie cut “Everything She Wants” and the resplendent pop-soul of “Careless Whisper” cemented his standing as one of pop’s foremost performer/composers. Ending 1984 with the career-defining synth-pop torch song “Last Christmas,” Wham! harked back to their feel-good beginnings with “I’m Your Man” in 1985 before amicably parting to allow Michael to focus on his solo career. Their final album, 1986’s Music from the Edge of Heaven, featuring their last single “The Edge of Heaven,” wrote the postscript on a prodigious four-year passage that flourished into an indelible pop legacy. - Apple Music

Also yes I fully agree, Gregor is doing a great job as host! Smooth, competent, entertaining.

Last Christmas still a classic <3

Both these songs will overtake the 30 weeks in the Top 5 of Frankie Laine - I Believe by the year is out.

Last Christmas is now tied with As It Was for the second longest-running top 10 (37 weeks each).

Biography

 

Emerging artist cassö and his inaugural release “Prada” is set to propell the twenty-year-old producer to unprecedented heights. With a mere eight months of production under his belt, the track has marked a transformative milestone. Derived from D-Block Europe track “Ferrari Horses,” featuring the enchanting vocals of songstress RAYE, the producer’s trance-infused adaptation was conceived on his university laptop earlier this year. Enthralled by the captivating vocals, he envisioned a euphoric pluck and an assertive bassline that would escalate into an explosive drop, breathing new life into the track’s sonic landscape. - GRM Daily

Iconic 2-3-2-3-2-3 run

Greedy deserved at least a week at #2 damn Prada

 

I think there were less than 200 copies between them in that first week! :(

Greedy and Prada back to back, yes! Still have both of these on repeat; and looks like many others do too.

Also agree Gregor’s done a great job!

 

I’ve already given my view on Greedy but I have to say that’s quite the run for it - 4 weeks at both #3 and #4 already!

 

Great run for Prada too. I can see why many people don’t like it, either because they didn’t like the original Ferrari Horses or they think it’s a cheap re-working (which it is), but I can’t help quite enjoying it. ^_^

'Stick Season' in the top 2 :heart:

 

Great to see a song that i've been secretly stanning since the Summer of 2022 get some major success
