I've been waiting for Music Week to post this weeks' charts, but they still haven't been updated. For now, here's the Top 40s. I will try to update it with the Top 50 charts with the figures once MW has been updated.

well this is VERY interesting! seems global’s boycott of ariana has drastic consequences huh. Greg Lake being here is very neat even if i don’t care about that song. The boost for Chris Rea is always nice too. And ofc I only reallyyy care about the radio chart but the tv one looks nice too (is it cos Destiny’s Child are there? WELL YESSSS).

Are they actually boycotting her or did they just not play Santa Tell Me?

Nice to see The Pogues beating Mariah in this chart on radio and Chris Rea getting enough of a boost this year to be top 5.

Bobby Helms top 20 at radio now as the playlists on Spotify effecting the radio stations plays too.

online radio box and various others. Ariana has been boycotted HARD by global, alongside others like Dua and Olivia Dean. Global is petty so it’s likely these artists turned down JBB or STB (Ariana is very uncertain cos she’s such a high profile artist that it must be something else)
