Monday at 22:202 days Sometimes the odds can be way off and you just never know.I could be wrong but i feel Wham will be her biggest threat.

Tuesday at 00:042 days Author Maybe give it a week or two, previous Amazon releases weren’t doing much at this equivalent time either!
Tuesday at 00:072 days Ya im not worried yet as i really dont see this doing anything until much later this month or even early December.
Tuesday at 10:091 day Yep the success of this will be mostly down to people asking Alexa to play Christmas music. It’s still a bit early although of course the daily streams for Christmas songs are rapidly increasing.
Tuesday at 10:341 day Author 20k behind:20/12/2024:01 59,426 Wham! - Last Christmas02 49,574 Gracie Abrams - That's So True03 43,790 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You04 39,049 Tom Grennan - It Can't Be Christmas05 38,285 ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT.One difference between Kylie and Tom's release strategies, is that Tom didn't have physicals counting towards the Christmas chart week - whereas Kylie's physicals will. Instead, Tom's physical sales contributed to the week after, 27th Dec chart, when it climbed to #3:27/12/2024:01 114,290 Wham! - Last Christmas02 94,170 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You03 93,702 Tom Grennan - It Can't Be Christmas04 84,407 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree05 71,523 Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell RockNot that pure sales made all that much difference for him. While we don't know how much he sold on vinyl and CD, what we do know is that he reached #2 in the physical singles chart. Wham - Last Christmas was at #1 in that chart with 1,670 sales, so therefore Tom sold less than that. I think we can safely assume Kylie will attract more physical sales. Another thing, Tom didn't do very well on downloads - only reached #33 in the download chart. So it was a hit almost entirely driven by streams.
Tuesday at 12:371 day Yeah it’s way too early for Christmas music, I LOVE Kylie, but even I don’t want to listen to her Christmas music yet 😂The week beginning 24th November is when it will all kick off.
Tuesday at 12:451 day Yeah, that is the weekend I'll be putting my tree up ready for December so I'll have Xmas music on then... not Alexa though lol.
Tuesday at 13:441 day 20k is a fair difference between 1 and 2 then with a push on cd sales from Sam. If it’s similar this year I think it would be a hard ask but you never know.
Tuesday at 15:581 day Kylie fans love to download too, sadly won't be able to on Itunes but we can all down a 99p version on Amazon and dare I say a store exclusive download if that is allowed ....... not sure with the Amazon tie in
Tuesday at 16:531 day Sam Ryder had an extra version his year released midweek so I don’t see why Kylie can’t have an extra version to download. Knowing her team I can see a couple of extra downloads being released if Amazon give it the green light.Although, they’ll probably be through Amazon still rather than her official store.I think physicals will do really well I’d say maybe 6/7/8k by the end of the week.

Xmas chart announced Fri.19th Dec but another big sales week after for the Boxing Day chart. She could do it that week instead.
Tuesday at 20:111 day Hopefully whatever deal she has with amazon allows for remixes, as well we know fans will support them.
