Sienna Spiro wins critics choice at the brits, releases a successful debut album. Olivia Dean continues to blow up globally. Madonna releases a critically acclaimed number one album and announces a tour. Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny sweep at the Grammys. Coldplay returns with new music. Nicki Minaj flops after her political decisions overshadow she career. Lily Allen continued success with West End Girl. Harry Styles returns with a new album and tour.

Why do they change the order of the playlists? Are they wanting to manipulate the charts or is it for another reason?

I would imagine if it’s close between #1 and #2 kylie fans will get downloading again. More remixes?

Absolutely amazing! Yes it was an Amazon exclusive but that’s certainly not a guaranteed number one. Kylie and her team smashed this out the park with the planning, promo and available variants. Not to mention the goodwill and support from the public. Best early Christmas gift!

Me too! The labels should be working with Spotify to sort this out even just from the perspective of how it affects their revenue.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves we still need to hold on until Friday and keep supporting. But it’s looking good. To think last week many of us were very much doubting a top 3 let alone Christmas Number 1 just shows never to rule out Kylie 😃

I thought the Amazon exclusive applied to streaming only meaning it would be available on iTunes but obviously not.

Still no Every Day’s Like Christmas 😅

I always find myself perplexed at why the US doesn’t support One More Sleep. It’s got everything a good Xmas song needs to have and it’s not like Leona is unknown there. It just deserves to be a global Xmas classic like Underneath the Tree but obviously it’s success is at the mercy of the Spotify playlists. Surely the labels of these British artists can do something to put balance and variety back into the playlists.

Alex Warren ~ Ordinary Benson Boone ~ Mr Electric Blue Doechii ~ Anxiety Drake ~ Nokia Ed Sheeran ~ Old Phone Lewis Capaldi ~ Something in the Heavens Lewis Capaldi ~ Survive Lola Young ~ Messy Myles Smith ~ Nice To Meet You Rihanna ~ Friend of Mine Sabrina Carpenter ~ Manchild Sexyy Red and Bruno Mars ~ Fat, Juicy & Wet Tate McRae ~ Tit for Tat Taylor Swift ~ Elizabeth Taylor

I hope she has a good boost in the new year, including critics choice brit award/brit performance and successful album.

Why’s no one playing Lily Allen except R1?

By the time Taylor is on ACR Christmas songs will have taken hold at the top so no sneaky week at number 1 for Raye. Perhaps in the New Year.

I’d like to see Leona in the top ten of that Spotify Christmas playlist but I know it will never happen 🙄

How’s Lily Allen doing on Spotify?

So I guess the question is more about why they chose that as a single. Also Radio 1 did play Palace yesterday too.

I still do not understand the choice of Madeline. Not only does it have less of a chorus than most of the album but also half of it is spoken. Just playlist an edited version of Pussy Palace or a selection of songs from the album like they often do with popular new releases.

Hope Melanie C is A-listed next week! No Lily Allen?

Over the moon to see Lily at #2 albums and #8 singles. Was so hopeful that she would get a top ten single again so I can relax now 😂 Almost sad that Florence released this week to deny her a number 1 but we’ll see what happens once physicals are released.

I saw on another forum that West End Girl is up to #2 in the albums today. I’ll take it with a pinch of salt but it would be amazing if she’s beaten Taylor this week.

What are the Spotify stats looking like today?

All I want is Pussy Palace to go top ten.

So without the Halloween songs Pussy Palace would’ve stayed at #7. Do we know if it increased in streams?

I now officially stand corrected, INMIY has overtaken AS. As per today’s chart commentary: Allen’s first two albums are both quadruple platinum, with 2006 debut Alright, Still on 1,210,017 units and 2009 follow-up It’s Not Me, It’s You on 1,242,106 units.
