oh my even > 1 million on a Sunday, aka the slowest day of the week for streams

 

maybe Xmas songs peak this week and people are not that interested for the rest of the month anymore... there's hope :D

 

Yeh but for Christmas music Sundays figures will be decent as it’s the weekend and people are putting their trees up?

It wasn't really a day for doing anything yesterday was it? Really cold and raining, perfect weekend for people to be in listening to the music and decorating/putting their trees up. It's insanely high figures though.

 

Also RE: Playlists... you just need to go looking for the good ones or better yet make your own? I made mine a couple of years ago and I keep it in my library to return to each year/add to, it's worth the effort.

The chart will always reflect the people who put the least effort in though because they're the most homogeneous (and probably the majority of people anyway). Obviously anyone can have a more varied / interesting Christmas playlist if they want to, would just be nice if the big Spotify playlists would switch things up a bit for once :P

This is always an interesting thing to think about because it's also automatically course-'correcting' anytime something different happens. Something can come from left field, but once it hangs around, it's signifying a new but purportedly same blandness. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is avant-garde and increasingly out of step with modern popular music, but paradoxically it's simultaneously one of the biggest normie anthems ever made.

 

All that being said, every year I see the contradicting arguments that the Christmas charts pecking order doesn't change enough but also that it changes too much so it's never pleasing everyone.

Exactly what I do and it’s in release order lol and I just then add to it each January when Xmas ends with the new hits from that December so it’s ready for the following season!

You can't get more festive than a re entry for d4vd's 'Romantic Homicide' mind- warms the cockles of my heart that one :ptingxmas:

Jack much closer to Wham in numbers today then.

I wonder if he can maybe attempt to close the overall deficit in time for Friday!

thank God we're back to semi-normal with Jack well ahead of Wham et al when ACR applied

I’m expecting a massive climb from Tom Petty in tomorrows update

Why?

Don’t forget the Monday official update doesn’t include Sunday streams so the Christmas songs will have pulled away further in today’s update which we probably won’t see, and only from tomorrow’s update the non Christmas songs will make up some ground. I think Jack could recover to #4 and just maybe come close to The Pogues at a stretch, but Mariah and Wham! have the top 2 comfortably locked down.

Why?

Love Is A Long Road was used in the GTA 6 trailer

no idea wat GTA 6 is

 

for a sec I thought Tom Petty had died :/
