of course not, but the Christmas Number One means nothing at this point anyway when it's just based on what happens when you ask a smart device to play Christmas songs. It might as well be a new song.

Have to say I rate Kylie’s chances pretty well from here. Did anyone manage to get a bet on her at decent odds?

£40 at 5/1 - I wanted to put my money where my mouth was in assuming that Kylie’s fanbase would put up a strong fight if the opportunity presented itself. Hopefully they will come through but if not then I have no regrets (but won’t trust their power again and will consider them a flop fandom from now on - let that motivate you all to buy 10 more copies each x)

But the last time I made any money on Christmas No.1 was in 2016 when I had an inkling from quite early on that Clean Bandit could do it, based on a barren release schedule, the weakening power of X Factor, and not hearing about any charity singles that felt like they were likely to contend.

Yeah one day behind from other streaming sites so Kylie's not safe yet by any means it's probably neck and neck if things stay the same throughout the week.

Y'all please keep on topic (ie the charts and not just Kylie lyrics x) but also let's not be complete fun sponges and rain on the parade of every excited Kylie post...!!

I wonder if all the real sales have been reported yet? Kylie fully wrapped seemed to have a lot of sales reported near the end of the week!

Of course and we all know that.

The same as every week though when songs wouldn’t get as many streams if they weren’t heavily supported by high playlist placements.

I was going to bet but it's gone down since you placed your bet. 7/4

Don’t you worry the Kylie machine will be in full force.

Being exclusive is more than a playlist. But we have had this discussion before. There is one very special song every year and no one else gets that treatment. Spotify also have their exclusives but as the platform works differently, the actual number of streams is way lower there.

That's 1.75/1

Hoping Kylie Minogue I got her at double carpet (33/1).

I know it pains you that Kylie is getting the support this year - hopefully Gaga when she’s 40 years into her career will give you the same excitement that the Kylie fans have right now.

You say this but Wham! and Mariah are at the top of most playlists if they pushed both down to the mid regions of the playlist I'm sure they wouldn't be as high in streams.
