That's sad, thought I might be able to buy it as an MP3 from Amazon but it appears to not be an option unless anyone knows better!

Pretty much guaranteed to be up for download from the 12th. There's rumours there's an extended version to!

They'd be silly not to release a few mixes for the fans to get behind to download

It's amazing she hasn't had a Xmas #1 already really.

For a moment I thought Especially For You was but then I remembered it was Mistletoe and Wine, which I remember being played in assembly every morning in the week leading up to Christmas back in 1988 and first introduced me to the very concept of a Christmas #1.

Then EFY was a new year #1.

Either way, can totally see the nation getting fully behind this if the publicity is there.

Definitely the coolest 57-year-old ever whatever the outcome!

For me, ‘Talk of the Town’ is the best thing Fred again has done since ‘Delilah’ so pleased to see it A-listed.

That Inhaler track is great too!

Would actually be hilarious if Ladbaby released at the bitter end and there was a huge close battle - Buzzjack would be mental that week 🤣 there’d be a 50 page mid week thread like the good old days!

So XMAS not even getting as many spins in the week as a C-list entry! Still, better than nothing though.

That’s sad. It’s probably my favourite Christmas song ever (I’m not usually a big fan of Christmas music, probably because the radio forces us to listen to the same songs every year).

We are still 2 weeks away, perhaps next week the plays will increase. There's a noticeable change from the weekend just gone already in the number of Christmas tracks being played.

Mariah by far getting the most plays so far since Friday with 8 spins and A Nonsense Christmas getting decent plays which makes sense given her pop star status the past two years.
