Anything over 3 years old is automatically put on ACR, so it needs a reset request from the label no matter what.

Breakin' Dishes might as well get serviced as a single, it's doing incredibly well just based off of TikTok and I doubt R9 is coming this year anyway.

BAND AID 40 PREDICTION
On Spotify, I see that it's under "Band Aid" and not "Band Aid 40", so I could see it getting combined with the original.
-
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (2024 Ultimate Mix)
Since this is under the original Band Aid name, it's safe to say that this will be combined with the 1984 original on the charts.

Secret ● 30 years on
Take A Bow suffered from being released in the Christmas market of 1994. I think it would have done better had it been released in January. I wonder if Secret will ever go Silver. It was an airplay #1 back in 1994. Top 200 Best Selling Singles of 1994: 83 Secret - Madonna (Maverick) 135,000 138 Take A Bow - Madonna (Maverick) 81,000

Lack of huge competition. Plus I really do think the great music video gave it strong longevity for people to listen to the song over & over again.

Don't Dream It's Over also being boosted by the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story along with probably TikTok.

Though it peaked at #16 in 1994, it never even made the top 200 year end singles chart selling less than 47K. Though I am incredibly pleased it's had great recurrent stats as it's always been one of my favourite singles of hers (in spite of the backing vocals of that monster on the track).
