Strong gains especially for Kelly, Band Aid and unfortunately Paul McCartney. Big losses for Andy Williams and Holly Jolly Christmas.

Tbf that’s much higher level analysis and calculation than I did so you may well be right. Would expect an OCC article when the lead changes either way so am sure we’ll know

Thinking it’s possible that Brenda could miss this year. Especially given Christmas Day streams are going to be badly estimated.

Mariah back ahead of Wham! as they swap positions for the fourth day in a row. Friday 15th November 2024: #29 (-4) Wham! - Last Christmas (198,596) #30 (-4) Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (196,888) #60 (-6) Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (136,693) #78 (+7) Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (117,535) #97 (+13) The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (108,180) #100 (+17) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (105,694) #126 (+17) Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree (97,959) #173 (RE) Andy Williams - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (87,214) Friday 14th November 2025: #21 (+18) Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (176,075) #22 (+16) Wham! - Last Christmas (175,029) #67 (+48) Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (121,651) #79 (+57) Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree (114,778) #81 (+46) Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (114,213) #93 (+64) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (110,639) #112 (+80) The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (102,191) xxx Andy Williams - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (<83,505) Ariana losing ground after her strong start. Great year-on-year gains for Kelly.

Absolute maximum 150k behind I think. Should overtake in the first half of next year. Obviously it’s possible that Wham! get between the two for a bit over Christmas

Wham! back just ahead of Mariah

Mariah back ahead of Wham! on Spotify today. Big drop for I Run due to the availability issues

I’m assuming you mean on the same week? If not Divide and Shape of You both dropped from number 1 before returning

Between 5,903 and 8,972 ;)

If Mariah and Wham! aren’t here today, I can’t see how they would be on Friday given their strongest days of the week are fully accounted for. Obviously this doesn’t apply if the OCC throw their rules in the bin again and reset them

Jesus Christ, how badly is Anxiety doing, must be like 2.5k a week if that. Think Another Love is losing its opportunity, fallen off massively on Spotify this week. Not sure if anything is likely to push its way in next week. 12 to 12 and What It Sounds Like can’t be far away surely?

Sunday 10th November 2024 for comparison: #20 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (+6) - 176,952 #21 Wham! - Last Christmas (+8) - 176,155 #44 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (+20) - (124,560) #61 Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (+31) - 108, 373 #80 Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (+43) - 98,197 #103 The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (+47) - 90,213 #112 Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree (+70) - 86,513 #148 Dean Martin - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (RE) - 77,753 #151 Andy Williams - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (RE) - 77,493 #178 Sia - Snowman (RE) - 73,301 #179 Michael Buble - It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas (RE) - 73,237 #200 this year was 70,371 for comparison for Dean Martin and below from last year. Looks like Wham! and the Pogues suffering the most year-on-year at this stage.

Sure but Taylor only had the lead due to extra versions I think which will die out throughout the week

Golden almost certainly will hold onto #1 then. Iris and the Killers getting ever closer to the top 40. Christmas songs might get there just in time to block them.

Good to see the Pogues show up already even if lower than I’d like

Bit surprised Love Me Not didn’t even make the top 40

I think this will change as we get into December, it always starts well due to Ariana fans streaming it. Brenda will definitely overtake at the very least

Saturday 9th November 2024: #26 (+25) Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (170,323) #29 (+24) Wham! - Last Christmas (165,713) #64 (+102) Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (116,312) #92 (RE) Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (101,799) #123 (RE) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (91,464) #150 (RE) The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (85,490) #182 (RE) Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree (80,095) Saturday 8th November 2025: #44 (+35) Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (148,533) #51 (+37) Wham! - Last Christmas (136,840) #110 (RE) Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me (102,373) #112 (RE) Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (101,021) #168 (RE) Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree (84,833) xxx Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (<79,842) xxx The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (<79,842) Good performance for Ariana and Kelly year-on-year. Bad for everything else.

Its strong performance is helped by that fact that it’s a masterpiece

45 out of 52 weeks of the year down and the 11 songs below have spent every week in the top 100 so far: Interestingly, a slightly different selection of 12 have spent all 45 weeks on the audio streaming chart: #1) 109 - Noah Kahan - Stick Season #2) 97 - Teddy Swims - Lose Control #3) 94 - Benson Boone - Beautiful Things #4) 77 - Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER #5) 64 - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars - Die with a Smile #6) 55 - Gracie Abrams - That's So True #6) 55 - ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT. #8) 50 - Lola Young - Messy #9) 45 - Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club #9) 45 - The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris #9) 45 - The Killers - Mr. Brightside #9) 45 - Fleetwood Mac - Dreams Out of those 12, APT., Die with a Smile and Stick Season were in the 90-100 section this week so will definitely be out soon. Not sure what the record for longest consecutive run on the audio streaming chart is (guessing its the 151 weeks from Someone You Loved), but Beautiful Things or Lose Control will surely have a good chance of breaking it if they survive Christmas this year
