A very good top 2! Stan is one of the greatest hip hop songs ever and I'm glad it's liked enough here to win. Thanks Julian for offering the opportunity to co-host and to everyone who participated in any way! Number 4s list will be posted in the Chart Vault very soon.

Ooh go on Billy Joel! Seventeen Going Under over People Watching is a bit of a surprise. Where on earth did Mystical Magical come from 😆

Must mean Taste is back instead of Such A Funny Way then. Side note just been looking through Maestro's statistics, do we have official YE lists for the 1960s?

Bruno back on the rise, looks like this is going to be a long runner

Ok way more Christmas dropping out than I expected. Let's see... Purple Rain Landslide Stateside Heroes Silver Springs WGFT Should I Stay Or Should I Go People Watching Such A Funny Way OK Love You Bye Lady Lady You Stole The Show I Thought I Saw Your Face Today Gabriela Riptide Carry You Home Sweater Weather The Door LV Sandals?

Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous came close to a point from me but I felt like I had given out too many points to other 00s rocks songs 😁

Think Pass The Dutchie briefly charted too

Ooh shame the Cribs aren't number one. Was expecting Alter Bridge to be higher too, great album! Fingers crossed Blue can at least give us a new number one

That's another song I'm hearing a lot on socials, think it's just gone viral with no real backstory behind it

All The Things She Said has been on the lower end of the dance charts for the past few weeks and has been all over my socials for a while now. Not a song I want to see revived so a bit annoyed it's taking off even more 😬

Despite streaming playlists placing it lower down due to Americans being unfamiliar with it, the track has continued to place highly in the UK each festive season, spending a week at each position in the top 20 except 1 and reaching the top 20 every year since 2005. It had an early leg up compared to the other festive classics thanks to the 2005 chart rule where a downloadable song could only chart if it had a physical release on the shelves. The 2005 physical reissue came about as a way to promote a campaign to start an investigation into Kirsty MacColl's death which occured in 2000.

Gone with Fleetwood Mac (how could I not), James Marriott and She & Him

If Paul or Ringo die this year I'm blaming you 😂

Oh glad we aren't just expecting one new entry this week, hope Zach can hold on (and maybe Midnight Sun climbing in?)

Gotta say I'm not a fan of this new Bruno song, way too generic by his standards, hope it isn't a massive hit like DWAS or APT...
