It has been proved that with Christmas approaching there are huge downloading figures of some seasonal classics like Fairytale Of New York and All I Want For Christmas Is You. Will they appear again on the charts this year now that oldies can re-chart?

 

And can other Xmas classics (Slade, Wizzard, Mud, Wham!, Band Aid and so on) can do enough to chart again?

Easily "All I Want For Xmas" & "Fairytale Of New York" :wub: can't wait to hear them again. ^_^

Probably Wham's Last Christmas (is this how it's called) will rechart.

Mariah.

Have A Cheeky Christmas :ph34r:

I would fully expect Mariah and The Pogues to get to Top 30 (and possibly Top 20) by Christmas..

 

Darkness - christmas time :lol:

Somehow i think Snow Patrol will rise back into the top 40, its rising already even if it has nothing to do with Christmas it reached 9 last New Year and im sure if it was included in the chart that autumn it wouldn't still be top 10.

If download only releases counted last year Mariah would have charted within the Top5. She was in the midweeks Top10 every week but was DQ'd by the time the Sunday Chart was announced.

Mariah, Pogues, Wham, Slade and Wizzard

 

Maybe even John and Yoko?

 

The Darkness?

 

Any of the Band aids?

 

I'd definately put money on Mariah, Pogues and Wham going top 20 though.

I'd be happy to see The Pogues & Kirsty McColl, Slade, Wizzard chart (and along with Mariah Carey, they probably will ...)

 

Some I'd like to see chart but probably don't have a snowball's chance in hell (that's an apt term) are Greg Lake's 70's hit and Mike Oldfield's (that in dulce duebelo - guitar thingy tune).

 

If one of the Band Aids charted - I'd hope people would have the good taste to download the original one.

 

I wouldn't like John & Yoko to chart.

with the basic Music Videos *cough*The Hits and TMF*cough cough* playing them in a Xmas Videos Special about 10 times a week im sure some will make an appearance

"Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun....." :)

I would say Mariah will have the best selling xmas song this year. I wonder if any adverts will have an influence, for example, M and S with Most Wonderful Christmas of the Year.

 

It would be great to see some xmas songs in the charts that haven't made it previously such as The Waitresses with Christmas Wrapping

I guess it depends - most Christmas compilations e.g. the Best Christmas album in the world...ever which get rolled out every year are full of stocking fillers with only a few good tracks on them. I'm not sure about the download rules - if somebody downloads three songs off a twenty track compilation and ignores the rest does that count as three single sales or a 0.15 sale for the album???

 

I'd also love to see Mike Oldfield and Greg Lake in the chart as those songs are ace, but it'll be the usual Mariah c**p that'll chart high. Would also like Jona Lewie's 'Stop the Cavalry' and Johnny Mathis' 'When A Child is Born' to be in there.

Now there's a tune! I guess every year from now on the chart will be full of Xmas tunes at Xmas - as well as Halloween tunes at Halloween, and every big love song around Feb 14th.

Unfortunately not many of them will make the top 40, you might get a few odd ones, like Wham, Pogues, & Mariah, but there will be a lot of them in the top 200

Mariah definately will- for sure!

They'll count as three single sales - it only counts as an album if it's downloaded in its entirity (by clicking "Buy Album" or whatever the equivalent for the other places is).

Ooh I'd forgotten about Jona Lewie ... good choice!
