Believe it or not, this is the first time this year that a song has had separate stints at #1. The last song to have its reign interrupted was "Sprinter" when "vampire" debuted at #1 during its time atop. It's surely a close one though so we could see some back & forth action at the top. At least with both songs coming out on the same week, Spotify Wrapped probably won't factor much into it. If you thought it was mundane last week when the whole top 10 stayed the same, this week we've got #1 & #2, #3 & #4, and #5 & #6 swapping places. Kendrick Lamar has a lot of debuts of course, "luther" figures the highest and it looks like it'll stay that way next week as well. The only other debut this week is for "Defying Gravity", which might stick the floating next week too. If you recall last year, ARIA prevented Christmas entries for a couple of weeks (in a way that only really affected Mariah if I'm being honest). They've done it again this year where I suspect "All I Want For Christmas Is You" should have made the top 50 this week. I imagine it'll return to normal next week but it does mean that we'll only have 4 weeks of Christmas music on the charts probably, 1 week less than last year. Kendrick Lamar gets a 3rd #1 album this week. If you've ever admired the amusing coincidence that it's been two of his most dense and uncompromising albums ("To Pimp A Butterfly" and "Mr. Morale") that have been the ones to go to #1, then that pattern has been revoked as "GNX" makes it party time at #1. This makes 4 weeks in a row that Sabrina Carpenter has been kept at #2 by 4 different albums. The "Wicked" soundtrack also has a strong showing. Perhaps Arcane does too, but I do not endorse League of Legends, I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness etc etc. Australian pop punk band RedHook score their first ever entry at #15, while behind them, Alex The Astronaut bucks the trend and improves to score her highest ever charting album. I'm obliged to point out that she's a rare case of a publicly autistic musician and we don't have enough of those. Then we get some real throwbacks as Opeth and that unpleasant guy are back.

"APT." becomes the 4th song to be #1 on the chart dated for my birthday, and is up to 5 weeks itself. Potentially through the album release, Rosé actually got back to #1 on Spotify on Friday, so she's comfortably widening her lead over all non-Christmas contenders right now. On that note, if you're willing to believe the ARIA top 20 theory like I do, then maybe we can retroactively make the assumption that ARIA will now only count Christmas music once Mariah Carey reaches the top 20. Last year, there was a curious decision to not count any of them until 4 weeks before the big week, this year it's taken a week longer, so there's only going to be 4 weeks of Christmas music on the chart this summer. It's hard to properly compare, especially on a leap year, but we're seeing some rather unremarkable showings for the cohort this year, which might be owed to stronger competition. In any case, Kelly Clarkson is probably the one to keep an eye on as "Underneath The Tree" is the only re-entry here that is higher than it was last year. Wham! are also a fair bit closer to Mariah Carey than usual so it's possible we've got a sea change coming too. "luther" gets in quickly before a flood of overtakes to become Kendrick Lamar's highest charting single from this year ("Not Like Us" got to #5). We've got a first ever top 50 hit for Stromae this week. He did chart briefly in 2010 thanks to the Kanye West remix of "Alors on danse" which got to #79. This entry for him is appropriate because we live in a world without Hextech, and this is the song from "Arcane" that plays in a similar alternate universe. Lola Young also makes her debut to the top 50. Technically she nearly made the top 50 via "Like Him" from Tyler, The Creator but there's still no featured artists credited on that album on ARIA so maybe to some, that wouldn't have counted. Taylor Swift returns for a 6th week at #1 thanks to the new vinyl release. I'm led to believe that it only just got put in shops this week so she may well be primed for a 7th week. If we want to further document the poor Christmas showing, we've gotta look directly at "Christmas" itself. The Michael Buble album has managed at least 4 weeks in the top 10 every single year, but short of some surprising post-Boxing Day longevity, won't be able to get any more than 3 this year. I do find myself wondering if he's finally been pigeonholed into people just listening to the two big songs on it rather than sitting down with the whole album now, in which case the album could be in some serious trouble in the future given the way streams are counted. There's also a new posthumous Juice WRLD album and I have to say, that Maroon 5 compilation is remarkably low this week given the lack of new entries.

Everything I said last week has been reversed so we might have a real tussle for #1 next week. We're still in humbug mode and I ain't crying lightning so Mariah won't figure in the race until the week afterwards. In fact this is one of those rare weeks where the chart dates line up in such a way that the Dec 1st effect outweighs the proximity effect, so many Christmas songs have declined this week. Kelly Clarkson stays winning yet again while Wham! manage to climb into the top 10. We're also in Spotify Wrapped week where you're inclined to think that only the biggest of the biggest hits get a rebound, but in reality everything is getting rebounds, just some more than others. Something I always find interesting among this is the performance of "Mr. Brightside", which usually drops down the chart because its listener behaviour is not conducive to a Wrapped effect. You've been deceived this time though because they were just on the eastern side of the country and are rebounding as a result of that. Rosé also manages a top 50 debut but we'll probably have to wait until next year to see if it's got some legs. As expected, Taylor Swift gets a 7th week, and thus keeps vaguely Australian music at bay. We haven't had any vaguely Australian double ups at #1 on both charts since 2022 when Joji & Jimmy Barnes shared the top spot. Despite many of the songs on the soundtrack seeming to decline, the Arcane soundtrack actually climbs into the top 10 this week. The only other debut to note this week is from Bliss N Eso, joining Powderfinger in the role of belatedly getting their debut album to finally debut in the top 50. Also in the world of Christmas L's, Michael Buble is still not in the top 10, so that maximum expected count of 3 now drops to 2.

It's Christmas in a couple of hours so I'm not gonna put a lot of time into this. Unless the machinations of Christmas cause an unexpected shift by way of Wham!, then get ready for Mariah Carey to go to #1 next week for the 7th year in a row. I also apologise to Tate McRae, her album (which drops out this week) is not actually called "Thick Later", those letters aren't even close on the keyboard I have no excuse.

Mariah Carey now has 9 weeks at #1 for "All I Want For Christmas Is You". It might not be smooth sailing from here though. Unless it really is just a one year blip, Wham! made a serious challenge for the top spot after usually finishing at #3 so momentum might be on their side to get to the top spot. Otherwise the big winners this year include Bobby Helms, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Bieber, Perry Como, Darlene Love, Gwen Stefani & Bruce Springsteen. I should also give special shout out to Laufey & John Williams for hitting the top 50 for the first time ever, and Mark Ambor for getting a second one. Sabrina Carpenter just barely misses matching the peak of the original "Nonsense" (#22). Over here we also always love to see Paul Kelly sneak in with the best Christmas-adjacent song you've never heard. Despite the poor showings in preceding weeks, Michael Buble had a very strong year on the Spotify chart for getting his deeper cuts included, which is good for this chart and almost gets him back to the #1 spot for the first time in many years. He doesn't though, so Sabrina Carpenter gets a 7th week there. Also this is the last chart of the year so thanks for reading and see you next thread! I will of course post the End Of Year charts in this thread, and post a sentence about how I'm going to do that in next year's thread, it's tradition at this point.

I don't know if there's anything remarkable to point out, but I suppose for clarity (this is a Vance Joy pun), I should point out that "Riptide" looks like it climbed a lot, but that's just because it finally got a full calendar year that it didn't get last year. Also after 7 years in a row on the list (a record), "Perfect" has not made the cut. "Sunflower" has made it to 7 years now though, but it's not looking good for next year. Taylor Swift takes the top album slot for the 3rd year in a row. It's a bad year for Ed Sheeran, Drake & Post Malone in particular. It's especially worth noting that given ARIA's new recurrency rules below the top 100 on the album chart, a lot of these albums that dropped out from last year's list are probably not coming back. One must suspect that this will eventually show a noticeable effect with numerous albums no longer having second winds (imagine some Taylor Swift albums just being missing for instance), which might lower the threshold needed for big sales albums to get in. We need some sort of hope because it's looking pretty bleak for Australian albums this year, none of these 3 albums that made it for 2024 look safe for making it in 2025.
