I'm not surprised Stormzy is doing so well, he has a huge following. I expect his streaming to be very good too. Hoping Move Your Body by Sia can get top 40 soon. It's been one of my fave songs for a nearly a year now.

Although it's a big boost, it still isn't great. No doubt she will increase her streams but at this point in time, it isn't a genuine hit yet.

I'm sure some people would recognize her music but when people put her in the same bracket as Jess Glynne they are miles off. Sure her two tracks are doing well on iTunes atm but thats it. They are both 59p and the steaming is still nowhere on her own track and just doing OK for the Seam Paul track.

Well I think that's a gross overstatement! Her highest charting single is 15, she has yet to release an album and is pretty unrecognizable to the average person.

Little Mix love chocolate!

Huge mistake not to release the video earlier, could have been official number one before the Ed Sheeran tracks.

First thoughts were this is cheap but it oozes sexuality and attitude and I think that would have been taken away with a big budget concept. Its such a raunchy the video, the choreography is great. I love the fact all the girls get up close and gyrate with black dancers, what are you saying girls? :lol:

Agree with others saying Ed will replace himself at number one. Shape Of You will probably be #1 until around the Brits, then he could perform a new track will will go to #1, then the album will be released about 2 weeks later and the chart will be an Ed Sheeran massacre.

All in all, it's a very poor list from a very poor year for British music.

Best British Album category is appalling, seems to have morphed into the Mercury Music Prize.

Haha, its not Christmas anymore but Perrie and Jesy are still slaying!

Just to see poor Charlie get gunged?! Haha

It was in a newspaper I read this morning, The Metro or The Mirror maybe, cant remember which.

The pics had Charlie in a suit getting dunked into a pool of gunge and then Perrie and Jesy looking very smug standing next to him as he got out :dance: . Im guessing it was from the video, unless it was another TV performance I havent seen.

Any news on the video? I saw pictures in a newspaper that looked like Charlie gets dunked in gunge by the girls in the video!

Given how huge Mariah's streaming has been, if the chart was announced on Christmas Day, with all all streams upto and including Christmas Eve eligible for the chart, how high would she have charted?

I presume a lot of people have been putting money on Mariah so the bookies will cut her odds to cover themselves.

If she still doesn't get any streaming from it then it will struggle for top 40. Robbie Williams got to around #5 on iTunes with Love My Life, it stayed in the top 10 all week but only went #33 officially. The added problem Gaga has is that Christmas songs that are low on iTunes could go ahead of her officially as they will have decent streaming and X Factor Final, BBC Music Awards and Royal Variety itself are going to give a lot of artists chances to boost their singles ahead of Gaga.

Haha, she's needed to an X Factor performance and a 59p offer to get #12 on iTunes. If this is a success then some people have very low expectations!

Sad to see Gaga totally bombing given how huge she was a few years ago.

Does it not just make it fairer and more realistic about how people consume music?

Shes lost the black vote since she married a white guy.

Love the song, the video has so much attitude. Mollie smoked smoking hot in the opening on the video too.

The article only states downloads and streaming will be released from 12:01 on Fridays but I presume albums will be released on Fridays too?

It doesn't but it shows she is not as successful as she is made out to be. She obviously has a large, cmmited fanbase but apart from that, hardly anyone buys her music yet she is made out to be this big-selling, populist artist.
