Worth noting that streams are significantly down compared to last weekend, so maybe we’ll see some rebounds for non-Christmas hits before the inevitable carnage of the next two weeks

Have to consider that Wham! will have physicals on Christmas week too. I think the Pogues could maybe do 25k downloads with a good campaign. Not sure if it’ll be enough tho

Even if they had given him one I don’t think he’d have charted. Didn’t make the Spotify top 200 this week.

This week's weekly Spotify chart sees Dave's Location and The Weeknd's Blinding Lights drop out of the weekly top 200 for the first time since release after 247 and 209 consecutive weeks respectively. Also the 'Rerecorded version' of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree shows up at #179 for the first time since 2015 (presumably this is combined for OCC purposes?)

Interestingly Kirsty MacColl has now been added to the credit of Fairytale of New York on Kworb for Apple having previously been absent

COVID charity songs probably. Captain Tom and the Livelounge both got to #1

If everyone’s getting behind the Pogues maybe they do have a chance. Although the AC/DC group didn’t seem to confirm they would be doing that

Yeah, I was clearly very wrong. My bad

The Krackpots also previously charted as “Kunt and the Gang”

This Christmas is definitely a cover

Top 5 on Apple has shifted around again 1. Pogues 2. Jack Harlow 3. Shaky 4. Mariah 5. Wham! Interesting that Jack Harlow has stalled at #2 - leaves me optimistic (delusional) that the Pogues can hold on to #3 officially on Friday

Imagine Tom Petty will be out tomorrow tbh, or on Friday’s update at the latest. Hopefully Ocean Alley will be able to get a reset in the new year

Yeah LadBaby shouldn’t count imo

I think the Christmas song onslaught will prevent it. Plus she’s probably doing zero on every other platform

Oh I absolutely agree. I’d also say there’s a solid chance that Mariah is above the Pogues when combined too.

Shaky back up to #2 ahead of Wham! on Apple (obviously Wham! are ahead when combined with the second version) The Pogues still holding strong at #1 tho!

I hope the Pogues can hold onto #3. How do you rate their chances of that?

Is this Juliera thing legit?

In other news, the Pogues are back at #1 on Apple with Shaky down to #3

Define Christmas song does stuff like Stay Another Day and River count?

Shaky!

Wham! have to be big favourites then, can’t see the Pogues making up the difference especially if Wham! have physicals. What are their current odds?

Perfect the year after too

Is 340 consecutive top 50 days a record? Only songs that I think could maybe have beaten it are Shape of You or Blinding Lights?

One million! Could go OCC #1 this week then? Think we can safely rule Jack Harlow out of Christmas #1
