Hopefully we'll have Chanel in the new year.

Why all the 2025 songs being skipped now? They should've skipped a couple of the Benson Boone tracks earlier instead.

Ooh! Nice surprise. I had forgotten about Austin.

The less said about Bieber, the better. But at least Daisies is better than that dreadful Yukon.

I don't need to hear this yet again.

You need to watch it to really understand the songs.

How It's Done is at 65 so clearly What It Sounds Like is the one that's gone. If KPop Demon Hunters can get just one song reset and not one that's gone to ACR before December I suppose What It Sounds Like will be back in January.

Finally a (single) week without Rein Me In in the top 20!

How come Elton is doing so well this year? Is he immune to the American influence on the playlists?

I hope Tyla can have a decent run in the new year. But I fear the many resets will keep her out of the top 10, or even top 20.

I hope they will never return.

I wonder how well Golden will do in January.

Is her version of "The Christmas Song" available this year? With her massive success it should be streaming well.

Not big enough for me to score high on this week's quiz.

How about "Have A Cheeky Christmas" returning?

No Bridge Too Far, He's Got A Car... I've got a downloaded copy of Mr Blobby, but haven't played it since 2023 before today! It's 4:02 long, by the way.

For the OCC's official end of year chart, are the estimated Thursday streams used or the actual streams (assuming they are eventually reported)?
