I think a lot of the time it’s events and activities where people play them as well such as house parties etc, I was at a Santa Sunday this weekend and they were playing the songs in the background!

He actually died in 2016 sorry!

Went for The Wombats!

Went for Robyn, Lily Allen and Hilary Duff, not many I enjoy overall though!

A completely different subject but I would def welcome that 😅.

Yous seem to draw at home when you look like going into the game with decent form and confidence!

I’ve went for three wins overall, I don’t think they have terrible players just been mismanaged and need to go down to restart again after being brought up a fair few years ago now under Nuno and the Portugese crew!

Wish they’d support Bubles version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Christmas Baby Please Come Home as they are the best songs on the album or even something slow like Silent Night.

Assume that’s just change of playlisting?

Do we know the actually reasons for the decreases yet or is it just changing demographics and maybe less people on Spotify compared to other services?

Tbf it was in the top 200 a few days ago!

Shout out for the 1983 Christmas no1 by Flying Picketts doing well due to the Vodaphone ad!

Surely it’s the opposite - see Slade in 1973!

Well yeh so it’s uninspired imo

I’m putting it in last weeks one as they are from last weeks playlist days/shows. I plan to do a final analysis of the Christmas songs on R1 at the end of December to see what they are playing most these days.
