Normally I disqualify Xmas songs from the chart once the big day's been and gone but I thought I'd be less Scroogelike this time and Xmas was only two days ago after all.

Hi Hiya!

 

Nice to see "People Watching" at the top, "Bug" as the runner-up, the big gains for "Messy" and "Loving You", the Christmas returns and the debuts for "That's So True" and "Luther".

 

Great chart!

Take care.
