Wonder if we can reach 100 pages of discussion for XMAS before next year! Really intrigued to see where XMAS lands in the chart today considering the lack of information we've had this week. Let's hope Christmas Day streaming all being accounted for, goes in Kylie's favour! (Remembering Spotify/Apple Music/possibly other services don't submit on time and OCC will have to estimate).

Merry Christmas!

Thanks very much for sharing these positions too! 😍 I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas

Weekend Love - 6 28. Time Goes By - 6 29. If You Wanna Have Some Fun - 10 30. Oxygen - 7 (If it wasn't for that drip drop I'd probably give it higher) 31.

Right Back At Ya (original pop mix) - 8 36. Pain Proof - 5 37. Give You What You Want / If It's Loving On Your Mind - 7 38. Strong Enough - 3 39. Likely Stories aka C U Next Tuesday - 5 40. Sugar & Spice - 4 41. Melody of Life - 6 So I've been listening to every song to refresh myself for this rate. I've listened up to and including Feed Your Love. Taken just over 2 hours to reach that song! I'll try and get those additional ones done a bit later. Edit: Completed!

Thank you @Jessie Where Also I've not actually got around to playing the Fully Wrapped vinyl or XMAS picture disc yet, so I'd better get on and do that before Christmas is over and done with!

After my mum passed away in October 2023, I found Christmas 2023 & 2024 to be really hard. I kind of went through both of those Christmases in a daze, and I just couldn't make myself feel the way I used to feel about this time of year. It's still difficult, though my reason for mentioning this is that honestly, Kylie really gave me some joy this Christmas and I'm really grateful for that. I've been enjoying her new songs, watching all the promo, the chart battle was fun to experience, and we got to celebrate with two #1s! Which all in all I think will help me look back on this Christmas with fondness and good memories. Some may think that 'XMAS' isn't good and that's fair enough, but I really do love it for helping me feel festive again. Thanks to Kylie and also to my fellow Kylie fans for all the fun times this Christmas.

In the words of Mel B, todehhh’s the dehhhh I dooo the raaaate

I’ll tryyyy my best and get it done because goodness knows Song for Her’s average will need to go DOWN before voting is over with x

We could even get one more week in the Top 40 in the chart dated Fri 2nd Jan ‘26, if Tom Grennan last year is anything to go by. Then of course it’ll be goodbye until next December, when we can keep our fingers crossed that XMAS will return!

Ahh thank you so much for sharing! 🤩🥰 I’ll update the albums post asap.

There is this So So Def remix featuring Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow, but I wouldn't say it's particularly well known or remembered. It was released in Japan in 2000: Justin Bieber collaboration in 2011: Also "New Dance Mix" from 2009 and "Extra Festive" from 2010.

There’s an exclusivity contract in place, they simply can’t put it on rival platforms now even if they wanted to. It wouldn’t be a beneficial move to make this season anyway.

Interesting if they're making a decision to ease back on her streaming push, you'd think it would carry on up to Christmas Day!

I've updated the first page! All the images weren't showing in the UK because of imgur being blocked here. I've updated recent chart runs and certifications. If anyone can spot any mistakes or oversights, please let me know!

Thank you for sharing these! I have a lot of positions missing unfortunately 🥺 I have: 315 weeks for 'My Everything' (missing weeks 316-343) 223 weeks for 'Dangerous Woman' (missing weeks 224-240) ^ both of these are up to and including the chart positions on Fri 26th Jan 2024 (ChartsPlus #1171) I'm able to update 'Sweetener' and 'Positions' because I had them on 109 weeks and 73 weeks respectively. I'm not sure how much of 'thank u, next' I'm missing - I have it on 131 weeks as of Fri 2nd Feb 2024. I also don't know the positions of 'eternal sunshine' when it fell out of the Top 100 a couple of times (and I assume 'Yours Truly' hasn't re-entered since its 21st week or 'k bye for now (swt live)' since its 2nd week). It's a really big ask (and there'd be no rush if you are able to do it @Jerald ) but it would be incredible if you were able to help me to fill in the gaps, so all the album chart runs can be up to date! (I really do miss receiving ChartsPlus 😭 I had to give up on it in June 2024). Thank you in advance if you can!

I didn't get it either, even though I don't have the picture disc! It was a bit pricey, but also truth be told I've not spent a great deal of time listening to this EP to really justify a vinyl purchase.

Australia changed its chart rules recently, only songs released within the last 2 years are eligible for the main singles chart! They now have a chart dedicated to older music called "On Replay" where All I Want for Christmas Is You is at #1. And even by doing that, their Top 50 singles chart still doesn't look particularly fresh, with the average "number of weeks in chart" being 33 weeks, with half of the chart being songs that are 6 months old or older.

Got a good feeling about #1 in the first look chart too!

I think it comes down to who packs it. Some fans have received their vinyl orders in a paper bag Others in large cardboard boxes so that the vinyl records would move around inside while in transit.

Still feeling over the moon that Kylie's at #1
