My...Tuppence!!

I think he's easily the safest bet.

It wasn’t great but the Christmas specials often aren’t. It had it’s moments at least and most importantly I got a pretty good first impression of Ncuti’s Doctor and Ruby even with a weaker script so looking forward to watching their series. As far as the goblin signing is concerned, yeah it was very naff.

38 and how thrilling it won’t be

Omg Saltburn impact. Might Perfect (Exceeder) re-appear too!

I’d quite like to see Adele keep her record there, the Christmas giants have already claimed plenty and it’s pretty nice to have the highest daily streaming total be an 'event release' rather than mostly driven by passive listeners.

Correct winner and generally I feel like most of the ones I like were paid their dues so good results all round Buzzjack! :heart: Thanks to all involved in hosting.

beyond iconique. :cheeseblock:

Behind but just wanted to share some Four Minute Warning hype. Great track from Mark Owen.

Gah the best one gone! :( Voting Love Inc once more.

Yeah it's not a big scam it's just the dire state of how things actually work these days especially when it comes to the December charts. But given the next tracking week is usually the peak of the Alexa songs and there was only a 6k gap this week, i'd say Sam's in with a decent shot at #1. Roll on the new year in chart terms.

Dock Of The Bay :wub: :wub:

Another little thing that makes me lean me in favour of the 'someone else is the killer' theory is that in the very final shot of the flashforward after Sharon declares "he's dead", her gaze is looking just out of shot. As it's likely the Christmas episode will end with the same sequence, that doof doof moment could be the one missing shot showing the killer. omg i'm obsessed :lol: :lol:

Weirdly enough I had a similar thought about Gina being involved and killing Dean after the way the last couple of episodes have panned out with that storyline. I had kind of ruled him out because it seemed far too obvious but they seem to have been buliding up Nish and even Jack as 'obvious suspects' too. Dean also just jumps out to me as the one where it would make the most sense for all of the six women to be motivated to cover it up. So i'll go with my final prediction as it comes about as a result of this "Dean wants forgiveness from Linda" strand, as a result of his persistence he ends up getting into a struggle with one of the other six (broken bottle?) and Gina who has overheard in the background comes from behind to deliver the blow. Could be absolutely miles off though, very buzzed to be tuning in on Christmas Day. :lol:

Violet Hill to win.

I hope Bring Me Edelweiss makes the cut for 1989!

I wonder if this will make the top 40 in the January lull. Liam lead singles usually manage some mid-table realness.

Another incredible episode. There's only so many times I can say it but the show really is firing on all cylinders at the moment. It feels like an age since a soap has had a prolonged period like this on such top form and long may it continue.

Hyped :cheeseblock:

Love Inc again. Klaxons probably my favourite tbh so hope they survive.

It's a shame really cos it's a decent little festive tune. But such are the charts these days.

LMAO the cluelessness is off the SCALE. :lol: :lol: :lol: Although claimed otherwise probably just a publicity stunt to get it paid more attention than the 78 downloads you need to be #1 on iTunes these days.

No source as such but I was always under the impression the whole thing was kicked off big style by Wizzard vs Slade in 1973 and prior to that there was little fuss about it.
