That's So True will run away with it easily

Nope, that rule is nulled in the first week of the year

Ed Sheeran will release a new pop album but it will be his least successful bar Autumn Variations Drake will not have a top 10 single Rihanna won't release an album A song breaks the record for most weeks at number 2 without reaching number one Chappell Roan has her first number one single Oasis release a new single in March which goes top 5 with big physical sales, they play one show then break up immediately

We are now fully up to date! All records haven't changed in the past 2 weeks.

It's definitely less predictable due to half the songs on ACR not being reset in the mids so there's a total change on Friday from what we would expect. We also get to see what was bubbling under the Christmas songs make the top 100 for the first time

Unless the film somehow takes off on TikTok I doubt any Robbie songs will have a resurgence

Not too fussed about any that have dropped out so far, pre-Beatles pop definitely not an area I know much about. If we could give 25 points I might've given one to Shaky. Shame about losing Knockin On Heaven's Door, one of the better charity covers to hit big. Lol at Gary not even being the highest sex offender on this list :lol:

If "I Only Smoke When I Drink" is still around it may be on for top 40. Wonder if Beabadoobee can get in with "The Perfect Pair" if its viral spurt hasn't died away

Any chance Brenda will overtake Mariah officially?

No sign of Night Changes on Spotify, must've been a glitch on Apple

Whole top 92 is Christmas! Is that a record?

Sorry but in what world (other than Hawaii) is "Mele Kalikimaka" more popular than Mary's Boy Child or ANY VERSION of Santa Baby???

There's a lot of articles about a Christmas message from Liam Paynes's girlfriend and his Christmas wish for his son going around right now, it's the only explanation I can find for it climbing unless it's a glitch

My final sales and position predictions have been prematurely locked in as I won't really have charts on mind during Christmas and Boxing Day :lol: will be finding out how well I did on Friday. Thanks so much to both Julian and Maestro for your graft and help!

Think it just must've done a little bit more than we think before it charted. That whole 81-86 section is extremely tight actually

Last week sales for the big 3 Christmas ones last year: Wham 190k Mariah 165k Brenda 144k Wonder how much they'll do in comparison this year...

Happy to see Not Like Us back in the top 40 even if Gaga will knock it out next week. Wonder if Sailor Song will go platinum this week

They played about 10 seconds of it and didn't say the name of the artist, just that "it's a charity song raising money for old people"

Ah thanks, so if the label theory is true they wouldn't be combined

Anyone know what label the other version of Brenda is on?

I would've actually credited those ones to the Supremes :D

Brilliant stuff, thank you :)

Ah thanks, saves me a job :D Some names I definitely wouldn't have expected. By any chance could you reveal number 21 please? Would've just included stuff credited to "Cliff Richard And The Shadows" to Cliff by himself had I done this.

Interesting list. I attempted to do something similar based on a points system (+20 points for every week at 1 and so on up to +1 for every week at 20) but saw Elvis' chart history and gave up :lol: Strange to not see Ed Sheeran make the top 20 but I guess he doesn't have many albums
