The song refuses to age one bit. Insiders were calling it a "grower" before the song came out and I see why. 5 weeks in and it still sounds extremely fresh.

I wonder what's the cause of such large discrepancies in the percentages gained. Several songs have switched their ranking among Xmas songs with a large margin.

While positions didn't make it to my top 3 Ariana projects, there are several songs like pov and safety net that are contenders to be top 15 of her discography. Pov in particular which I want to call her best song but am waiting for enough time to pass before making hasty judgements.

Not anymore ;)

Spotify itself doesn't count features when reporting artist data. This is actually in Ari's interests because the overwhelming majority of her streams are as lead. That's why Ariana was declared the female artist of the decade on Spotify despite Rihanna having more streams if features were to be included.

Yeah this whole Amazon business seems fishy. I'm surprised there haven't been inquiries about it.

Swap #2 with #3 and that's the correct order imo

Charts are meant to be a ranking of popularity so predictability is a virtue of a good chart. Seeing not-so-popular songs unpredictably chart high due to charts allowing sales gimmicks is the actual issue.

Yes that's more likely the reason. There's been plenty of releases, it's just that the current climate is in a way that the top tracks don't hold as much of the market share than they used to do. Quarantine is for sure the main reason behind this.

Looking at the data, a fifth week at the summit seems likely.

Does anyone know how reliable Kworb’s numbers are for its daily YouTube views in the UK?

Santa Tell Me is arguably the best performing original Christmas song to be released this century. One modern classic being at the third position while the rest of the songs are old classics isn’t indicative of a shift towards old classics fading. If anything with the help of streaming these songs have been revived and immortalized.
