This year was weird because now the Box Channels have gone and now MTV are closing and Now is not on Freeview anymore it seemed it wasn't until 1 December before That's TV changed their channels so it seems very late this year, in previous years it was getting earlier and earlier but I feel this year they have reversed this trend.

Cliff and Noddy must be holding their breaths that the new year arrives very quickly. Driving Home For Christmas is my fave Christmas song so let's send it to number one.

Jack Saunders stop saying it's first Christmas Number One it isn't she was No1. with Band Aid II.

Lots of publicity about Kirsty MacColl at the moment might spark some interest in the song next week if they find any proof of who killed her.

How often has Band Aid not been in the Christmas Chart Top 10 in last 10 years?

The Radio 1 audience concentration span is not very long so they need to keep being reminded.

I am not a fan of 70s Paul McCartney if having one of the most boring songs of all time as the decades biggest song, he releases this annoying Christmas song, not sure why it is continuely popular when other 70s better songs like Slade fall out of favour.

Well it was Puppy Love really for SC Juniors

Goated? do people still say GOAT in 2025 thought it went out of fashion about 3 years ago ;)

Yes but ladies of a certain age and all that, at least he isn't on tv as much as he used to be.

Angel Fingers?

Well there's always been chart manipulation, the 90s promo for songs six weeks before release to get the first week number one, Spotify playlists, releasing extra mixes with cd singles and others it's just the game that the record companies play.

Chris Rea my fave Christmas song seems to be falling out of favour in the last few years.

We could also be pedantic and say "Padam Padam" was No.1 for 5 weeks on the sales chart. 😛

Kylie was No.1 in 1989 with Band Aid II so it isn't technically the first time she been the Christmas No.1 if she makes it today.
