9 (-2) XMAS, Kylie

Strictly version would be amazing but not sure if it requires too much (permission etc..)

 

Still 6 on the unlimited chart so It’s probably close between 7-9

Strictly Performance is Kylie singing and performing during the professionals group dance, so probably at start of Sunday show so we may get a medley

Five are the musical guests.

Kylie going to have 10 mins now on ITV Jinglebell ball

going to be

Padam

Locomotion

XMAS

Love At First Sight

I think it will just be just XMAS to be honest rather than a medley as the dancers are doing the XMAS dance I can’t see them using tiny clips of different songs

I’m so ready for more Versions to drop hopefully they drop them after Sundays first look and promote them to help the Christmas number 1 hype

I think they will, my gut is they will throw everything they have at it this week.

I hope we get some form of sales update tomorrow, be interesting to know how close / far everything is at the top.

I'm so curious how many downloads she's managed so far maybe 1k?

11 (-2) XMAS, Kylie

I'm wondering how well XMAS would have done with same strategy but not Amazon exclusive. Video out a bit earlier and coverage on Apple, Spotify & Amazon at Xmas time. Probably would have been a hit too.

I think maybe Alexa had her work cut out with Kylie haha

It’s definitely being skipped because it sticks out next to all the Christmas classics but it’s ok it’s still doing well for at least a top 5.

She really just needs to drop 10/15 new mixes / instrumental etc at 59p on her site and call it XMAS completely wrapped 😂

They won’t do it if there’s just one extended version / instrumental. It needs to be a mass download moment.

Even if 200 hard core fans downloaded all 15 it’s instantly 3,000 sales.

It would’ve flopped hard with no Alexa - a #87 Christmas smash.

even with all those Spotify playlists and Apple playlists and on SCR. Physicals and downloads would be same.....

i think it would be pretty similar to be honest... and all the albums would have it on too haha

There’s no way XMAS would have been a Top 20 hit without Alexa.

The general public clearly haven’t taken to it as it’s position is based on Alexa spam, also there’s nothing to say any of the streaming services would have supported it.

Considering PP and Tension have been the only Top 20 singles out of a long run I don’t think XMAS would have been anywhere near to joining them without the Alexa link up (Just as Jess Glynne, Sam Ryder, Tom Grennan, Ellie Gouldings Amazon offerings haven’t become staple Christmas hits despite being available everywhere now).

No way it wouldn’t even be top 50 without Alexa. Amazon has the biggest market share at Christmas and it’s literally on every single playlist going non Christmas and Christmas!

It’s even on Hits Uk at 6, All Hits, Feel good Pop, Best of 2025, feeling happy- it’s endless some of the playlists they are even using the green album Cover so it blends in with the other tracks. You literally couldn’t put it on anymore. Let’s be honest it shouldnt even be on the non Christmas playlists but Alexa works her magic 😂

If the chorus wasn't annoyingly catchy I'd say it's one of the weaker releases in kylies catalogue it definitely feels like a step down from padam padam and Tension, there is definitely stronger on Kylie christmas that should be getting this treatment

Hmmmm i think a Christmas song at Christmas with her promo and all over the album and other platforms it would have done really well, but we will never know lol

I am still not sure Amazon has the biggest Xmas share of market either. i would say being on SCR is the songs big advantage. Anyhow lets keep streaming, downloading and purchasing :)

140k Youtube streams. entered the trending chart at 29 on Youtube. say approx 10% views in UK that will be approx 25 sales altogether hee hee

Kylie would never do the roughly 250/300k streams it’s currently doing on Amazon (if not double that to be honest)

If the campaign was big enough she could maybe of got a cher DJ play a christmas song kind of run at best, but no matter how much you try and deny it being an Amazon exclusive is boosting it
