So now that XMAS has gone to make Number 1 what are your predictions for next week?

Confident she can stay top 2 with XMAS and top 40 with the album.

Also think it should chart in Australia and Ireland.

…a second week at 1 for XMAS would be marvellous and the Alexa impact will be most effective this week especially Wednesday and Thursday when people are all gathering together.

Daring to dream for a 2nd week at #1 after the mass media exposure - I feel Alexa will ramp up the spam and people will seek the song out due to the coverage.

I feel like it will drop, people only cared to get it to Christmas number 1

Week 2 solely depends on the Alexa spam and curiosity streams from the GP now it’s #1.

I’ve switched to Kylie Christmas album streaming for this week rather than having all my focus on XMAS.

Ya I think the number 1 media coverage will help her get some extra sales especially today.

I’ve gone with:

#2

It won’t chart on either.

40k+

Album top 40

I think the same but I'm hoping Xmas might sneak in to the lower end of the irish top 100.

With the amazon exclusive deal is that amazon UK only. I've wondered why it doesn't crossover with Ireland for example as the UK promo generally hits the irish market as well.

Your second poll question, what if someone thought it could chart in both countries? There's no option to vote for that. 🤭

I personally feel it will drop from number 1 but with potentially higher sales , yes Christmas day is on Thursday but Christmas eve is Wednesday and those streams are usually gigantic too

I think it can grab a second week at #1, but even if it doesn't I don't mind now that it's actually made it there.

I think it really rests on how Christmas Day (Thursday) streaming estimations affect Wham! and the other classics. Whereas Kylie's actual streams on Christmas Day will go towards the data, and that could put her at a major advantage.

So I feel she has quite a good chance of remaining at #1, but equally I wouldn't be too surprised if she's #2 behind Wham!. Hoping for the former though, 2 weeks at #1 really would be the icing on the cake!

Fingers crossed she could make the Top 50 in Australia, if she's in the 60s region this week then perhaps it could. Less sure about Ireland, it just doesn't seem like the Amazon deal is infiltrating over there.

Definitely well over 40k for XMAS. It could be nearer 100k if Tom Grennan last year is anything to go by.

Can see Fully Wrapped managing a third Top 40 week, maybe even climbing the chart.

I think she will be in the running for number 1 this week which would be nice but I'm not as bothered as I was for the last week as it going number 1 last week was goal and it did it but I think she might have higher sales this week than last.

However if it does hold a second week it will be only her 4th single to manage more than 1 week at number 1 as spinning around, tears on my pillow, slow and hand on your heart all only stayed at number 1 for 1 week although a glitch caused hand on your heart to miss out another week.

I should be so lucky, especially for you and can't get you out of my head all managed multiple weeks.

Would love to see her get a 2 week stint at #1 but equally ok if it drops - but it would be mind blowing for her to achieve a multi week chart topper!

I think the album will climb a few places, streaming will be better and I feel as if I’ve seen lots of ‘Oh I didn’t know she had a new single/Christmas album out’ so hopefully that’ll help it get some curiosity streams and buys.

The media coverage of it being Christmas #1 in the UK might cause it to sneak into the Australia Top 50 and Irish Top 100.

She has got great media and I think people feel kylie has re opened the door to new christmas songs having a chance of repeating her success so hopefully itv tanslates into people streaming,/,buying the single and or album.

XMAS should retain a Top 2 position this week.

Hopefully she does but i think number 3 is the worst case scenario.

Wouldn’t be mad with that 64-24-16-1-3, considering the entry position is usually the peak we have become accustomed to 🤣

Its not a bad chart run considering its limited shelf life and it will probably have a considerable drop after this week but still chart.

Pitty it didnt manage to enter the top 100 the week before it made its debut at 64 to have a 93-64-24-16-1-3-21 style chart run.

Any last predictions - I’m now thinking that XMAS could potentially climb a place from the mids to #2 due to Amazon reporting, and the album will be #18.
