Classic might be a bit premature its only a month old

I mean, say what you want about XMAS but at least it's memorable. I can't even remember for the life of me how Tom Grennan's one from last year goes!

I heard Kylie's song for the first time yesterday... it's.. fine. It's really annoying/grating though so I'm not sure the replay value is there for me, personally.

As much as I hate the whole Amazon thing and how manipulative it is etc.. I'm here for Kylie getting Christmas Number 1 and FINALLY it's a NEW, original Christmas song getting there!

The OCC are dodging a bullet this year with Kylie getting Christmas #1 and not Wham again, I’m sure it would’ve gained some negative “Are the Charts Broken?” press.

It will be business as usual next year though I’m sure and Wham will be Christmas number 1 once again.

Just seen that Brenda Lee and Palestine song have sold the same so far. How does OCC deal with this?

Yes glad to see the sales (officially) cmon team Kylie !

Kylies pretty much got it confirmed now then I’d say.

But slightly more randomly, Dave and Tems seem to be making quite the resurgence?!

Actually shocked the palestine somg is holding so well maybe it can finish top 10 afterall , that would be a fantastic achievement for it

I thought the Palestine song was going to plummet and struggle to stay Top 20! Looks like a top 10 is on lock, along with Kylie getting the Christmas number one!!

I’d have thought Wham! will be closer to 50k

The streaming equivalent sales are calculated to 2 decimal places so an apparent tie will almost always not really be a tie.

Apparently,

From sayhey…

#1 Kylie - 38.6k
#2 Wham - 29.8k

Why do we always get these when Kylie is involved and NEVER with any other artists lol who is this person.

I have no idea but they must work in the industry somewhere.

Also shocked Taylors only at 3 if the holiday vinyls have been included already

Thanks for clarifying… interesting. Different to the old days with actual sales.

Come on Together 4 Palestine! I really hope they can do a last minute push for sales and get to number 3 at least!

Yeah it’s rising globally! Seems like it might genuinely become a hit after all which I’m thrilled about personally

Definetly looks like its kylies to lose at this point , wouldnt get too complacent just yet though last minute downloads is not impossible
