I have no doubt it will. She'll do at least 100k in the next two weeks

Think the "last week" column is showing as this week's for some of these.

Billie grabs another week top 10 as expected - 'The Days' drops out after being there for weeks 3 to 48.

(I do hope 'I Run' doesn't have as long a run in 2026, being its successor as the most prominent carryover dance hit...)

That’s guaranteed now - she might even sneak ahead of Bruno and Gaga for #9.

I had a feeling Another Love would be back - thinking Mutt and Burning Down will be replaced by Wham and Mariah in the YE chart and otherwise every other song will remain, shame for Dakota!

Makes sense for Man I Need to be at least top 10!

TFOO storming into top 40 makes up for the year IION? Was one of the only number ones not to be EOY top 100

Looks like "Golden" will be #4 at best.

Seems Radio 1 will be doing a chart of the year show on Boxing Day, presumably based on Week 51 figures. I think even “Last Christmas” may not make it by then, which could be good news for “Mutt” and “Dakota” making the premature countdown!

Why wouldn’t it be week 52 figures? Pretty sure they ran chart of the year on 27/12 last year with the final numbers

Was gonna say, don't see why it would be any different unless it's a 53 week year.

Oh yeah it will be Week 52 - I was getting confused about the dates in my head oops.

It should be a 53 week year but the OCC will not use logic.

Well tbh it should be a 52 week year, as week 1 should’ve counted towards 2024.

The sales week including Christmas Day is always the last week of the year and the sales week including New Year’s Day is always the first week of the next year. It does makes some sense from a chart perspective as the week all the Christmas songs vanish will always be the New Year chart.

Not sure I agree (especially given I predict Wham! to be top 10 on the new year chart this year).

IMO whichever year the last week of the year has more days in should be the chart it contributes to. In this case the week after Christmas has 6 days in 2025 so should contribute to the 2025 YE.

Will Wham be in the top 10 on 2nd Jan? It’ll be on acr and have streams of 400k max on Friday 26th?

Will the units between Friday 26th December and Wednesday 31st December be counted towards 2025 or 2026?

Yeah Top 10 seems a stretch to me too given Boxing Day is like a typical December day and streams drop off sharply after that. However it did make #83 in the week starting on the 27th last year. Definitely Top 40 and maybe just about Top 20 I’m thinking.

Looking likely it will be a 52 week year unfortunately, in 2019 when the Fridays fell on 26th/2nd they counted the week announced on the 2nd for 2020's YE list.

EDIT this is wrong the Fridays were on 27th/3rd. Last time the 26th/2nd happened was in 2010/11 I believe and they counted the 2nd to 2010, Radio 1 broadcast the YE chart on 26th so it ended up being outdated. Will be interesting to see what they do

Only 3 more chart shows this year until we get full 2025 EOY charts.

Any idea on whether there will be a separate show for the weekly chart?

I remember back in 2017 they tried to combine the two shows and somehow managed to read the wrong Top 10 for the current week’s chart.
