19 hours ago19 hr Raye only 12k behind Taylor today, obviously Taylor's acoustic version will give her an advantage but looks good for Raye potentially overtaking at one point!I know it's been an autoplay favourite all year but is there any reason for Every Breath You Take being so high? Stranger Things hype maybe?

She chooses someone from the audience every night and is continuing the trend! I’ve seen a couple of others! One with a little boy who was nervous af but smashed it.Just wholesome content.

However, there does seem to be a drop off lower down - with only 8 in the top 75 compared with 11 last year.I guess overall I feel that Christmas seems further away than this time last year.
13 hours ago13 hr Im guessing it felt more christmassy because we had had snow already etc this year the last 2 days are the first we had any proper cold weather this season

12 hours ago12 hr I don't think it's an indicate of what comes in December. I would assume the streaming numbers for Christmas songs reach all time high again when the season ACTUALLY arrives (weekends and days leading to Christmas).
12 hours ago12 hr Sure, you’re almost certainly correct, but if they’re down 20% in the 6 weeks leading up to that, their YE numbers will still be down.
11 hours ago11 hr 30 minutes ago, Maestro said:Sure, you’re almost certainly correct, but if they’re down 20% in the 6 weeks leading up to that, their YE numbers will still be down.That could happen. But that’s all based on the figures lagging behind for 6 weeks. Last week, Wham! were on 15% behind sales of the same week last year. But we also need to bear in mind we are one day earlier in the month than the same day of the week last year. If by December they are ahead of last year it could make up for it - because 15% to 20% of the small amount they are streaming at the moment could easily be made up for by a 15% to 20% increase on high figures during December. One big issue though is Christmas Day being on a Thursday, and seeing how the Thursday’s streams are estimated on that day. My gut feeling is that you are right and the overall streaming figures for Christmas songs this year will be down.

I only recently discovered that it only made #53 on release in 1988 and didn't actually chart again until 2007 when downloads became a thing. Anyone know why in particular the song took off then? Was it used in an advert or something?
