THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD HE CANNOT DO!

Peppa Pig is releasing a cover of Last Christmas. Yep. 😆 Apparently Peppa tried to get the Christmas number 1 before, with Bing Bong Christmas. It didn't chart.

A bit random, but I've been looking for which songs from BB contestants are currently on streaming. Of the 7 that charted, I have found Craig, Samanda, Nadia and Nichola Holt on Spotify. Honey Love by Samanda is on Apple Music, but not on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5OhEnjBW6J6FqQVtuGj9LA?si=1ef12de1b28c4214

...Alison Limerick at 9/1? I presume that is supposed to be Labrinth, right?

Sam Ryder was an Amazon Christmas song, though, it didn't need a campaign to reach the top 10. The campaign helped it peak highly, of course, but it would have done well either way. LadBaby had campaigns every year from 2018 to 2022. I try my best to forget them. In terms of new songs that were successful, it would be The Kunts every year from 2020 to 2022, and Freezing This Christmas last year. I know some TikTokers had a cover of a Christmas song that didn't do very well. It was released under the name "Creator Universe", and failed to chart in 2023.

Current Spotify streams of each John Lewis song: 2009 "Sweet Child o' Mine" Taken by Trees 62 million 2010 "Your Song" Ellie Goulding 257 million 2011 "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" Slow Moving Millie 2.9 million 2012 "The Power of Love" Gabrielle Aplin 74 million 2013 "Somewhere Only We Know" Lily Allen 387 million 2014 "Real Love" 6 November 2014 Tom Odell 65 million 2015 "Half the World Away" Aurora 125 million 2016 "One Day I'll Fly Away" Vaults 4.8 million 2017 "Golden Slumbers" Elbow 18 million 2019 "Can't Fight This Feeling" Bastille 16 million 2020 "A Little Love" Celeste 9 million 2021 "Together in Electric Dreams" Lola Young 2.9 million 2022 "All the Small Things" Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox feat. Puddles Pity Party 7 million 2023 "Festa" Andrea Bocelli 471k 2024 "Sonnet" Richard Ashcroft 3.3 million This list doesn't include Elton's Your Song, because that obviously has tons of plays that aren't related to being used in the advert. It should also be noted that the songs from 2022 and 2024 were released prior to being featured in a John Lewis advert, but they weren't really notable.

I can't see Slade doing much, because they aren't on most of the heavily American-inspired playlists. The same reason The Pogues couldn't do much when Shane died, sadly.

Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga re-entering the top 75, with the Halloween Theme by John Carpenter a new entry at 76. The Time Warp is at 79. These at least make more sense, but they are below the less spooky songs you mentioned.

Remember Monday - What The Hell Just Happened? Abor & Tynna - Baller Tommy Cash - Espresso Macchiato JJ - Wasted Love Erika Vikman - ICH KOMME Go-Jo - Milkshake Man Tautumeitas - Bur man laimi Yuval Raphael - New Day Will Rise Claude - C'est La Vie Miriana Conte - SERVING (Eurovision Official Version) Lucio Corsi - Volevo essere un duro

That upload of The Chicken Song is not a legitimate re-release - the same artist has songs from the South Park soundtrack, Doctor Who themes, and others. Anyone can technically re-add any song to Spotify, and get away with it for a while if it manages to slide through any copyright filters. I'm sure it will get removed as soon as whoever owns the copyright finds it.

Jedward and Marcus Collins are ahead of Joe McElderry, Matt Cardle and Leon Jackson, all of whom's singles were promoted on X Factor with them being returning winners. What.

The artwork says it includes 17 number 1s. There have been 29 number 1 songs from X Factor acts; I am guessing Steve Brookstein's one hit and It's Chico Time won't be making it.

Yeah, but then they got back together. :P I am hoping dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip can chart reasonably well. In the current sales climate, maybe even top 20.

David Bowie's 2013 release hasn't even gone Platinum yet; he's still a major artist. I think Kings of Leon will go Platinum, giving the time of release; it should still be in the charts come the Christmas sales, so will get good sales in the long run.

Busted's top-selling single only sold 230,000?! That is unbelievable.

In fairness, Alexandra Burke - the winner in the same year as Diana - released her 2nd album in 2012. It only got to number 18, selling a mere 6,731 copies in its first week. This was off the back of a #3 single from the album, and the album was released by a major record label. If Diana can get similar sales with an independent release, I'll be ecstatic.

Same Love top 10? Delighted. :) :)

Delighted to see Same Love up to #13! :)

Eminem's Berzerk is available in the UK Amazon store now...just not on iTunes? Strange.

I presume he'll perform it live on the X Factor. Considered his debut was the best-selling X Factor winner's single ever, I'll be amazed if he doesn't get to number 1 again with this. Then again, no male X Factor winner has got 2 number 1 singles, which is an astonishing fact. Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry and Matt Cardle all got 1 number one single each. I can imagine Simon Cowell might push this single hard to change that fact.

Considering how highly Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' singles have sold in comparison to their album, this should hopefully do well. I would absolutely love it to get to #1, but even top 20 would be brilliant. When is it actually getting a UK push?

"X Factor 2013 runner-up Jahmene Douglas has opened up a narrow lead at the top of the artist albums midweeks with his brand new RCA debut Love Never Fails, but it is currently being outsold by more than 16 copies to one by the week's top album seller overall, the newly-issued Now! 85 compilation put out by Universal and the franchise's new partner Sony. The hits album has to date sold 133,775 copies this week." 133,775 divided by 16 = 8360 sales so far this week for Jahmene. Not to mention the fact that the above quote says "more than 16 copies", and those sales include pre-orders. Marcus Collins got to number 7 with 24,343 sales, which will almost certainly be more than Jahmene Douglas sells by the end of this week. I, for one, would rather Jahmene didn't get to number one, purely because he didn't even bother to record one original song for the album. Full of covers. Very lazy release.

This. As soon as I read you were inspired to do this thread by one artist going from #1 to #12, I thought of this fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-h..._United_Kingdom Lots of artists who reached #1, only to never have a top 200 hit again.

Editors deserve to be higher than that. *sigh*

Voted Top 40, because I couldn't vote "not in top 100". Their time has passed.
