December 7, 20241 yr When you look at that Top 20 without Christmas songs, it's really only The Door which is a bit past it's sell by date. The rest of it is really not that stale.
December 8, 20241 yr UK TOP 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 29.11.24 #10 THE TOP TEN: 'Jingle Bell Rock' leaps to 10 for Bobby Helms! Ed and Elton's 'Merry Christmas' rises to 9. 'Do They Know It's Christmas' sees Band Aid take a jump to 8! Surprisingly, 'Defying Gravity' holds up at 7 for Cynthia and Ariana from Wicked. 'Rockin Around The Christmas Tree' is firmly at 6. At 5, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is up 5 spots and looks to climb more! 'Sailor Song' slips 2 spots for Gigi Perez as she has a high sales fall. ROSÉ and Mars 'APT.' Climbs on sales but stays at 3. At 2, 'Last Christmas' by Wham is up 4 spots, narrowly missing number one, and at number one for her 5th consecutive week is 'That's So True' by Gracie Abrams, which falls in all categories. NEW ENTRIES: 92 - Under The Tree - Ed Sheeran (4/10) Previous first listen: This is the first Christmas song by Ed, which disappointed; listening to this felt like eating a cupcake and finding out there's no filling inside. This is so tasteless and sounds like something that I've heard a gazillion times, even though I haven't. This was also featured in the movie 'That Christmas,' which must've had bad people picking the songs for the movie. Ed said it's a sad Christmas song to tell the moment people feel alone. I want to be alone while listening to this because I don't want people thinking I like this. Ed... you're one of my favourite artists, but your music keeps getting worse with every release. 88 - Holiday Road - Kesha (4/10) Its repetitive pop style is boring, and this doesn't sound like it fits that Christmassy feel; it feels lacking and like something that has nothing to hook you on but just a cheap replacement to songs like 'Underneath the Tree' and 'Holiday Road.' It isn't a huge failure but is just bad. 87 - Misfit - Juice WRLD (4/10) Previous first listen: Juice's raspy voice works well with the acoustic guitar plucks and the emo-rap/trap background. This is Juice's last album, titled 'The party never dies,' released this week, and it's set to be the last album by Juice after he died from a d*** over**** years back. This didn't hit hard for me or sound like a main single, but it sounds like he tried to make this decent, so I'll respect the effort. 86 - Winter Ahead - V/Park Hyo Shin (7/10) I was pleased with how pleasantly smooth this was and had its wide range of uniqueness with the clicking and the trumpet fitted at the appropriate timings! It's all quite different for a BTS solo member to make, so I applaud exploring boundaries with this; it didn't need to be as long as it was, but I still really like this! Great track! 72 - Run Rudolph Run - Mark Ambor (6/10) I really like Mark trying something different from his previous 'Rockwood' album. With an older style 'Run Rudolph Run' and its guitar strumming to create a faster-paced, chiller atmosphere really worked well with the track! Solid release, and it's the first time I've said that for a Spotify single. 55 - Empty Out Your Pockets - Juice WRLD (6/10) The hype-trap track set to feature in the video game Fortnite featured on Juice's final album, 'The Party Never Ends,' and ended up being neither the best but still better than Juice's average for me. It sets as a track that builds hype, but I doubt it'll last. REENTRIES: 98 - Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord - Boney M [First listen and I love this!] 93 - Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley [Respectable] 85 - Christmas Lights - Coldplay [Decent] 80 - DJ Play A Christmas Song - Cher [she did a good job.] 77 - White Christmas - Bing Crosby [so old but good] 75 - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Frank Sinatra [Meh] 66 - Mistletoe - Justin Bieber [i'm getting into this more.] 62 - The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole [it's alright.] 60 - It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas - Perry Como [Go away...] 56 - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love [Great song!] 51 - Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter [LEAVE THE CHARTS FOREVER] NOTEWORTHY CHANGES: Songs that fell over twenty spots or more: 100 - I Had Some Help - Post Malone/Morgan Wallen (Down 27) 99 - Sticky - Tyler, The Creator (Down 28) 96 - I Only D**** When I S**** - Nimino (Down 26) 95 - Burning Down - Alex Warren (Down 27) 94 - Move - Adam Port/Stryv/Keinemusik (Down 25) 91. - Heavy Is The Crown - Linkin Park (Down 31) 90 - 365 - Charli XCX (Down 13) 84.

Any other songs are unlikely to.
December 8, 20241 yr ouch at the new Tate McRae song - going 8-35 in two weeks even if not for Christmas Genuinely surprised at this, it's behaving like a fanbase single even without Christmas. I wonder if they are just sitting on it until the rush is over and will give it a big heave of promotion in the new year. To my ears it sounds like a big hit. I can see why labels are hesitant to push anything from mid-November onwards, new singles just get absolutely swamped and it's anybody's guess as to whether they will get the support in January to be able to recover.

I don't know why they don't just wait until the first week of January to release new singles. Tate's single would have been the perfect candidate to take advantage of the January sales lull.
