December 22, 20232 yr Slade really was the king of all Christmas songs right up until probably the mid-2000s, until Love Actually for Mariah and Kirsty's death/the 2005 re-release for The Pogues pushed them both ahead. Someone at work thought Slade were a one hit wonder who only did that one song, which even for a 80s baby like me sounds mad.
December 22, 20232 yr How do you anticipate that could happen with all the others above it currently, plus inevitable resets? Wishful thinking.
December 22, 20232 yr Slade really was the king of all Christmas songs right up until probably the mid-2000s, until Love Actually for Mariah and Kirsty's death/the 2005 re-release for The Pogues pushed them both ahead. Someone at work thought Slade were a one hit wonder who only did that one song, which even for a 80s baby like me sounds mad. I had that in work too, they had 6 no1s lol and the biggest selling act of the decade I think!
December 22, 20232 yr I don’t think people knew that until the sales were announced though, I remember it being a freezing cold snowy Christmas period and text a friend asking who won the race and couldn’t believe it still when I heard. Plus R1 had Joe in the studio and think he famously wouldn’t speak. Is this true? I listened to it and have no recollection of that at all. I could be wrong but it seems like something I'd remember. And Joe was the type of guy, really nice, smiling all the time, would never say a bad word about anyone. I remember him being interviewed on the Big Top 40 Show where he was also #2 and he just said things like "I'm really happy to be #2, congratulations to them for getting #1".
December 22, 20232 yr Kinda liked the Nat King Cole one, never ever heard it before but this Bieber shite is terrible You'll have heard it somewhere at some point in the past. It will have been used on adverts and in films and stuff, but you may not have been aware in that context of who it was or what the song was called, and it may not have made enough impression on you for you to remember it now.

Like a younger sibling to more contemporary acts like Norah Jones and Fiona Apple, the Icelandic-Chinese musician made her official debut in the early 2020s with her viral hit "Street by Street," which was popular on social media platforms and caught the attention of famous fans Billie Eilish and Willow Smith. Laufey's debut EP, Typical of Me, arrived in April 2021. She later expanded upon that with her official first album, 2022's Everything I Know About Love, which reached the Top 20 in her native Iceland. Featuring collaborations with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the sophisticated, Grammy-nominated Bewitched followed in 2023 and took her into Iceland's Top Five while charting internationally, including a Top 30 placement on the Billboard 200. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2023 92 From The Start -1- 2023 84 A Night To Remember (beabadoobee & Laufey) 2023 31 Winter Wonderland -NAS- 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 0 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 3 x Top 100 Social Media Laufey http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 | 28 | 17th week Sia Snowman 2nd single from Everyday Is Christmas Released: 9th November 2017 Label: Monkey Puzzle Music Chart Statistics NE (31/12/2020) | 78-82-x RE (09/12/2021) | 73-55-44-41-35-x RE (08/12/2022) | 65-41-37-35-28-x RE (30/11/2023) | 67-40-27-28-30 Sales: 600k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 34 Sales 18 Audio Streaming 29 Video Streaming Video gset79KMmt0 Biography Sometime around the end of 2010, Sia Furler hit bottom. She was exhausted, numb, self-medicating. She’d had some success, but the trade-off—touring, promotion, life without privacy—felt too steep. She thought about suicide. Then an idea came along: Why put so much of herself on the line when she could just try writing for someone else? Even after coming back to the stage as a solo artist, Furler maintained a degree of playful detachment: The big wigs, the reluctance to show her face. But the music was real, empathetic, even heroic—anthems of vulnerability and self-empowerment that handled huge feelings with a lightness that made it seem like she was dancing slightly above the ground. Pop songs are fantasies, she seemed to say. But they also get us through. Born in Adelaide, Australia, in 1975, Furler started out singing in a local acid-jazz band called Crisp before moving to London, joining the trip-hop group Zero 7 while starting a solo career. Her early albums—off-kilter pop with hints of folk, electronica and jazz—did fine, but it wasn’t until she started writing for other artists that her career took off. Beyoncé (“Pretty Hurts”), Britney Spears (“Perfume”), Katy Perry (“Double Rainbow“), Rihanna (“Diamonds”): Furler’s writing made for some of the most bright-lined, all-caps pop of the 2010s, while her own tracks (“Chandelier”, “The Greatest”, “Alive”, “Unstoppable”) set new standards for playacting in pop performance, making her—a queer woman whose self-professed higher power is a surfing, Santa Claus-like figure called Whatever Dude—not just a songwriter, but also a kind of oddball role model for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit in. She said a producer once claimed that it wasn’t fair for her to be able to turn out a song in 20 minutes and get the royalty split she did. Maybe so, Furler clapped back—but getting to those 20 minutes took her 15 years. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2000 10 Taken For Granted -1- 2000 82 Little Man -2- 2001 91 Drink to Get Drunk -3- 2001 30 Destiny (Zero 7 feat.

December 22, 20232 yr Quite glad Creator Universe are Top 40 - would be easier for them to pretend it never happened if it didn’t chart haha.

December 22, 20232 yr Oh my at that artists credit :drama: Oh my even more at the cheap karaoke quality here Edited December 22, 20232 yr by jimwatts
December 22, 20232 yr Author This goes from being a pointless cover to a really irritating cover with whoever it is that puts on a stupid voice while singing nice that it's raised some money for charity but I'm glad it's nowhere near the Christmas #1
December 22, 20232 yr There’s a live BBC News thread on the cart - first time I’ve ever seen it happen. Yeah I was thinking that, maybe they'd have done it sooner but there wasn't much point with Ladbaby sapping interest from it. Not that it's any closer this year but people get the sense there's a battle. also LMAO get f***ed Creator Universe, sounds completely musically useless as expected.
December 22, 20232 yr Author This must've taken FOREVER to type Copy and paste from Kworb! :lol: bolding each of them individually was the time-consuming part lol (absolutely no chance of each of them having an individual chart history at the bottom of the post tho xx)
December 22, 20232 yr Someone at work thought Slade were a one hit wonder who only did that one song, which even for a 80s baby like me sounds mad. I had that in work too, they had 6 no1s lol and the biggest selling act of the decade I think! You could say the same thing about Shakin' Stevens, one of the biggest selling artists of the 80s.
