Ew at Wham! being top 10 in November. They’re higher than what they were this time in 2023

Isn’t it wonderful 😍

On Spotify on the first Saturday in November they are way ahead of the first two Saturdays in November from previous years, and almost on a par with the third Saturday in November (although realistically only about 1.5 weeks ahead of previous years). And this doesn’t even include the Pudding Mix, which seems to be getting more streaming this year than previous years.

Streaming platforms need to stop putting Wham! and Mariah at the top of their Christmas playlists. Put someone else at the top for a change and then we’ll see the difference

You don’t need to give him a thumb for that post GreyAsh

Last year they did - on Spotify. It made a difference to the number of streams, but Wham! and Mariah were still the most streamed Christmas songs on Spotify on those days.

Why would they do that though when they are both the most famous and popular Xmas songs currently?

Any sign of Britney Spears - criminal on any steaming? It’s seemingly going viral on tiktok atm (or at least the side I’m on)

XMAS got 18k streams worldwide for Kylie on Saturday.

I hope the song gets some support from other platforms this year. Always going to be difficult for a former Amazon exclusive i guess

It's her 6th most streamed track on Spotify with 581k. So probably a while to go until it can chart but on its way to increase.

Has an Amazon exclusive ever made the gop 40 after its general release to other streaming sites?

the katy perry one did but can’t think of anything else

Faouzia is up 4k on last Sunday.

Friday she was down 2k.

Saturday it’s impossible to tell (she was in the top 200 this week, but the same figure last week was not worth a top 200 place).

She may still avoid ACR! Or even climb into the top 40, bearing in mind she does better at the end of the week.

 

I can’t see ‘Step Into Christmas’ (solo) in the Spotify chart at all. Assuming it will be on ACR as most people predict, its lack of support on Spotify might get in the way of it reaching number 1 - despite two versions being pushed on Amazon.

@danG already mentioned the Katy Perry track, the George Ezra one from 2021 also re-charted in 2022-23-24 in the OCC Top 100 as well.

George Ezra takes his time making new albums doesn’t he!

I liked his first album... but then things have taken a fairly big drop with each passing album. GGG is bloody awful!!!!
