December 17, 20232 yr No longer exiting. Gonna be Wham till the charts end now. Nonsense with such huge streams they still only do apx 50-60k that’s beatable and it’s only a matter of time before record labels realise this!
December 17, 20232 yr People said this about Mariah and now her song seems to have fallen a little out of favour. Future trends can change
December 17, 20232 yr If Wham do happen to get Xmas #1 it'll be deserved and long overdue but I do hope going forward other artists and labels try a bit harder at Xmas time as Wham being Xmas #1 year after year would be just as boring as LadBaby hogging it for the last 5 years
December 17, 20232 yr very interesting week, with a few releasing physicals the Pogues campaign should be pushing harder, they could totally do it if so looks like the Tiktokers are nowhere to be seen on Streaming
December 17, 20232 yr Good luck to Noah Kahan. Possibly I'm only one person here, who don't want to see Wham or Pogues (and Mariah too) at # 1. Edited December 17, 20232 yr by Last Dreamer
December 17, 20232 yr I hope Noah gets Christmas top 3. Wouldn't be great to have 3 tracks all over 25 years old (would that be a record?) In the top 3 Edited December 17, 20232 yr by Smint
December 17, 20232 yr I think Noah should be safe for top 3 I would imagine, taking ACR into account he is #2 on Spotify today, and he was #1 yesterday.
December 17, 20232 yr very interesting week, with a few releasing physicals the Pogues campaign should be pushing harder, they could totally do it if so looks like the Tiktokers are nowhere to be seen on Streaming The Pouges have no chance
December 17, 20232 yr Sam Ryder will probably be #1 on the first look chart if last week is anything to go by.
December 17, 20232 yr Wham! should have physicals counted already which should make them pretty comfortably #1 I'd think (unless they barely sold any of course).
December 17, 20232 yr A lot of indie stores appeared to restock the pre-order of the Wham single so I’m assuming they sold reasonably well
December 17, 20232 yr The Pouges have no chance I think The Pogues could definitely do it. But the media and the public need to be whipped up into a frenzy about it in like the next 36 hours or else it might be too late.
