White Christmas bug still hasn’t been fixed then

White Christmas back on Spotify as the third highest Christmas song and still no sign of Brenda Lee, so I assume Spotify is still glitching in that regard

On Apple: #87 Wham! - Last Christmas #88 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You Wham! are up 23 places in the last 24 hours with Mariah down 6. So this might be due to some combining/uncombining of different versions potentially?

Yes that is a rule. I think Dua Lipa’s label did it in 2020 by excluding Physical to allow Hallucinate to chart

Yes it is a fantastic hold for both Mariah and Wham! Mariah went #41 -> #51 Wham! went #54 -> #70 Last year

You missed FONY at #191

NINETEEN? Good lord

Mr. Brightside stays top 50 too and keeps its year-long (so far) run going. Obviously Christmas songs will have something to say about that, will see if it can get to December before dropping out

Nope, she’ll appear on the 1st November Pretty sure she was in the top 50 last year, probably won’t be this year due to Taylor but I’d estimate around #65

On Twitter, I’ve seen a lot of people not happy with TV of Style, so I expect “$l*t!” will hold up better throughout the week

Some original 1989 songs survived relatively well for now: #50 Style #69 Blank Space #123 Shake It Off Also, Mr. Brightside stays top 50, but if Taylor has longevity it could be under threat from halloween songs in the coming days

Gonna optimistically predict that Taylor will have the whole top 10 today

Apple Music Halloween #86 Michael Jackson - Thriller #117 Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters #158 The Cranberries - Zombie #188 Katy Perry - Roar (??) (Not even sure if this is Halloween related, I guess the song title kind of could be)

Difficult to compare as there was an issue on Apple Music with Midnights which didn’t combine streams from the standard and deluxe editions during the first day. So songs like Anti-Hero appeared twice.

That’s not how it works. None of these songs will be on ACR as they’re all new releases

Idk, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself but is it too far fetched to think that Style could do a million on Spotify tomorrow?

Justice for New Romantics

Maneater and Sweet but Psycho both appearing today in the Spotify chart, but no Thriller, Ghostbusters or Monster Mash yet. (Zombie is also still there, but am not attributing that solely to Halloween) Also big gains for all of 1989 (original) with the original Wildest Dreams actually appearing above Taylor’s Version

Apple #96 Thriller #120 Ghostbusters #151 Wildest Dreams (TV) Original 1989 tracks still appearing obviously but would expect them to be gradually replaced over the next 24 hours.

With new Taylor and Halloween coming up, this weekend is another opportunity for Mr. Brightside to leave the Spotify top 50 for the first time since Boxing Day last year

Ghostbusters is at #193 and Toxic at #199 on Apple Music

Tricky to know. The only real evidence I have is that Enchanted (original) was relatively regularly in the Spotify top 200 before Speak Now (TV) and hasn’t appeared since

There’s no way Style lasts either, assuming its sales drop off a cliff from next week due to Taylor’s Version?

Based on the current performance of Style and Blank Space original versions, they’ll be massive, and I imagine Shake It Off will do pretty well too. Not sure if any of the Vault tracks have music videos or promotions planned like I Can See You or All Too Well (10 minute) did. I know there’s quite a bit of hype around $l*t tho so we’ll see

Messy in Heaven back at #50? Anyone know why?
