She really did keep out in front all week and was clear by 9310 in the end and would have done the number 1 without the physicals aswell but it was the physicals that got that first push of the number 1 that ended up getting alot of attention so they played a massive part in the success of this week.

Only 2 Amazon exclusives have went to #1: "XMAS" by Kylie and "River" by Ellie Goulding

Marvellous sales and streams.

What a fortnight and even though we all knew XMAS had a good chance it was only until Monday it seemed likely.

…and thanks to you guys sharing you’d placed bets I bet for the first time ever and won £80!

"Although, at 57, Minogue is younger than Kate Bush (then 63) was when Running Up That Hill was belatedly No.1 in 2022, she does become the oldest woman to have a No.1 with a new recording, eclipsing Cher, who was 52 when Believe topped the chart in 1998."

Up to 4 on the YouTube Music Video Trending Chart

I’m ecstatic - what a moment and achievement

So happy for Kylie! 8th #1, what a moment! I expect sales of 70-80K next week and it to be sitting at #2 or #3. But who knows, Kylie and this song have continued to defy expectations.

Also so happy I can delete Amazon Music now 😂 I will stream the video on YouTube over X.M.A.S. I can’t wait for this to be on Spotify next year!

Streaming is always going to hard for her, simply because of generational change, so 23 is great and I'm sure it will be higher next week

There’s a really detailed article about how it all came together here

As for the other positions, awesome. I think deep in our hearts we knew mid week this was her's just needed to see it . I wasn't so sure at the beginning of the campaign 4 weeks ago, it was the capitol video that drew me in and I just couldn't get enough in the end

Amazing downloads and physicals 👏🏽

“Working with Amazon had already been on the cards for a different idea, but this quickly felt like the perfect partnership opportunity,” said Bhowmik

Now I want to know what the other idea was/is

'We always had our eyes on the prize': Inside the triumph...

Omg I’m so unbelievably happy - and 200 quid richer! Forgot I put two bets on for Kylie!

So am guessing the Streaming Chart doesn't count ACR etc. Just the final official top 100?
