My...Tuppence!!

Best: Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive Blondie - Heart Of Glass Anita Ward - Ring My Bell The Knack - My Sharona Donna Summer - Hot Stuff Worst: Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond - You Don't Bring Me Flowers Commodores - Three Times A Lady

+5 Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (i'm guessing this counts) +4 The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End) +3 Kylie Minogue – Santa Baby +2 Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter +1 George Michael - December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas) JUST about managed to scrape together a top 5 there. I was going to include Annie Lennox but that was 2010.

+12 Camila Cabello ~ I Luv It (feat. Playboi Carti) +10 Ice Spice ~ Think U The Sh*t (Fart) +08 Nicki Minaj ~ Big Foot +07 Benson Boone ~ Beautiful Things +06 Central Cee ~ Band4Band (feat. Lil Baby) +05 Gracie Abrams ~ That's So True +04 Katy Perry ~ Woman's World +03 Creator Universe ~ I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday +02 Ella Henderson ~ Alibi (feat. Rudimental) +01 KSI ~ Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd) Not Like Us making the shortlist is WILD btw!!

Even without the annual Christmas parade lining up according to the regular formation, the chart would be pretty abysmal this year. I'm sure there must be some good new releases out there, a vast array of music is constantly being produced, but very little of it is making the chart lately.

It is very believable. I'm not saying it definitely IS the case but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the main factor in decision making. The chart is nowhere near as relevant as it once was and publicity is publicity.

Interestingly I think what happened with the de facto legislation of abortion is the main concern people have over this. I think the vast majority of people agree with the principle, you wouldn't let a dog suffer in that way as the saying goes. All abortion in the UK is bound by the 1967 abortion act which means there must be a reason for abortion given and two independent doctors must be satisfied that it meets the conditions given in the act. In reality these conditions are interpreted very liberally to the point that abortion is considered to be universally legalised. The only concern I have seen raised in opposition to this online is that the authorising will be treated as a similar formality and it will 'open the floodgates' to coercion. The cultural memory of the Shipman case plays into this a lot, I think opposition would be a lot quieter if that had never happened.

I doubt it's truly the end of both of them. Dreck possibly but Sheeran is working on a pop album with Max Martin the last I heard, he will be haunting the #1 position again.

If it can't even get to #1 on iTunes I doubt it will be troubling the top 10.

abysmal chart

It should be allowed. The proposal includes sufficient safeguards.

In The Ghetto is his best

R9 looms

That Cheesy Fad has HACKED Spotify to promote his new Christmas sang so will be going to #1 if the OCC don't bother to check the data. The only hope is enough people are holding space with Defying Gravity that it can outdo his nefarious streams!!!!

Has Cheeesy Fad hacked Spotify OH MY

It sounds very messy. But then every version has been abysmal apart from the great original, the only one which is still worth a listen after all these years imo.

Gareth Gates

Madonna

MGMT

Very much depends on whether it is combined. But it definitely won't be #1 by the time actual Christmas rolls around, will be a one week wonder boost.
