  • And as ever we don’t necessarily even know what order they’re really in on Spotify because they might have different premium to free proportions.

  • All too often in this group we have focused too much on Spotify, and then being surprised that the songs doing best on Spotify aren’t always number 1. On Amazon it’s Golden followed by Man I Need. A

  • So that's basically resets confirmed for The Fate of Ophelia, WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! and So Easy (To Fall in Love), but not Man I Need or Golden, as expected.

The first post-Christmas week has a separate rule for resets, as the market is extremely volatile. Anything that went to ACR in December gets reset, basically. Man I Need went to ACR too early so won't be reset, nor will Golden, but The Fate of Ophelia and WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! should be reset.

Unclear whether Opalite will qualify - in the past it's been one per artist but last year, we got a Teddy Swims double, so we'll see.

cant labels still apply for manual resets this week cos thats what i remember it being

Christmas songs don’t disappear even this week! I’m very sorry for Chris Rea. A huge disappointment! I’m expecting Dave & Tems to be at the top.

I’d imagine Boxing Day being a Friday and the Spotify data being missing has probably helped Xmas up a bit.

It's on SCR, same with Gwen's song. Both will collapse later in the week though.

we had boxing day spotify data no?

Xmas will have 2 days of data on SCR while Last Christmas etc will have 1 day of sales on ACR, which as the play listing becomes less, will become more disadvantaged for the Christmas songs on acr.

I can see Lush Life taking advantage of this.

Edited by Knightr634

What has happened to Kato and "Turn the lights off"? I was hoping it would go top 40.

Hopefully "Lush Life" can make top 20 with the Christmas songs dropping out.

Greed knows no limits with Taylor or her team

It's no different to Adele the year EOM shot straight back to the top denying Gayle

I knew you would jump to her defence immediately lmao

Hopefully the Christmas crap goes away entirely from the top 40 bar one or two.

Hoping for new entries/peaks from Zara, PinkPantheress, Addison. Would be nice to see Raye at #1 but I'm sure Taylor's team will do everything with physicals, push etc to ensure that doesn't happen

 wham were no1

That week included Christmas Day tho and embarrassingly low streams from non-Christmas songs. Positions was barely doing 200k a day on Spotify.

Amazed that Golden is above Man I Need

That'll be Amazon. If there's another update tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be reversed.

Looks like there'll be the first ever 40-1 climb on Friday.

The saddest part is that Chris Rea didn’t even make the top five. Is it possible to have one of the most beautiful Christmas songs and not be included at all?
