BREAKTHETENSION

I don’t think we’ll see the Brits impact until tomorrow.

Wow, number 1 with a post album single, must be a while since that happened.

Music Video’s are only available on Spotify premium, so if music videos are being streamed on Spotify/Apple Music it would always be at the 100 streams = 1 sale.

Lemonade finally 2x Platinum! The best album of 2016.

I remember being really embarrassed to buy Victoria’s album from Woolworths when I was 13, but I pushed through and got it. At the time I loved Midnight Fantasy and I Wish and thought Victoria was mad for not making them singles. So happy for this little Victoria renaissance, I’ve been listening to the album all week.

The Harry song doesn’t scream hit to me, I don’t see it being a long running #1 like As It Was.

It never ceases to amaze me how the British public/press will claim someone is #1 in the charts, because it’s #1 on iTunes.

I REALLY hoped Stateside would scrape top 10 this week!

Do Radio 1 just add what pleases them these days? Baby Steps by Olivia and Such A Funny Way by Sabrina, neither appear to be singles.

Yeah I would do the same. In 2027 add: Say Something Magic Padam Padam Tension Hold on To Now Lights Camera Action XMAS Job done, but I feel like we will get another (unnecessary) hits collection.

1| Slow (The best song of Kylie’s career) 2| Spinning Around 3| Can’t Get You Out of My Head (Amazing, but so overplayed) 4| XMAS (a Christmas miracle) 5| Hand on Your Heart (Kylie’s best 80’s single) 6| Especially For You (she’s cute) 7|8 I Should Be So Lucky / Tears On My Pillow (Don’t care for either) Better The Devil You Know, Love At First Sight, On a Night Like This and All the Lovers really should’ve been #1’s as they are better than a lot of this list and a better representation of Kylie’s career.

2026 is gonna be Zara’s year! Midnight Sun is a great album, hopefully people keep discovering it.

The Kylie Documentary has been announced for 2026 by Netflix

It must be getting about 8 sales a week to have not passed 100,000 yet, but not really a surprise. Even for me, it’s not an album I revisit a lot. My Certifications Predictions for 2026 (or wish list!). 2 Hearts - Silver (It MUST be close by now) Magic - Silver In Your Eyes - Gold Tension (Single) - Silver Love at First Sight - Platinum

Great news and it’s actually been certified a lot quicker than I was expecting! I think the last update we had was 41,000 in November 2024. So 19,000 units in 58 weeks.

The Joel Corry collab is a strange one, it’s been teased since 2023? but he said recently he would love to finish it, so it was unfinished? Joel Corry is way past his peak though and I think it would be best if it was left unreleased.

Obviously we can’t know for sure, but I think XMAS will do better in the long run than the Sam/Tom tracks, mainly because it’s now a former Christmas #1, which should put it in a more favourable position for Christmas playlists, but we won’t know for another year. What a ride it’s been!

Is it not just the case that Sam and Tom had Christmas Day streams included, which is the biggest streaming day and Kylie had estimated streams for yesterday, based on the lower streams during the week. Has it ever been confirmed that Amazon Streams are included for Thursday’s?

Merry X.M.A.S. Everyone! To my amazement my family were talking about Kylie being Christmas #1 and my niece loves the X.M.A.S. dance, so maybe this song has caught on more than I thought!

Exactly, whatever happens this week it doesn’t really matter. She got Christmas #1 which was beyond most fans wildest dreams. XMAS will still be top 3 regardless.

I noticed there is a song called XMAS by Kylie Divine (no idea who that is) at #50 on iTunes, I can only presume that people think this is Kylie’s 😂

I would LOVE a big Kylie sales update now she’s #1. We’ve not had a top 40 Kylie songs update in years, the OCC are so lazy these days, you hardly ever get sales updates! 😂

So happy for Kylie! 8th #1, what a moment! I expect sales of 70-80K next week and it to be sitting at #2 or #3. But who knows, Kylie and this song have continued to defy expectations. Also so happy I can delete Amazon Music now 😂 I will stream the video on YouTube over X.M.A.S. I can’t wait for this to be on Spotify next year!

The OCC are dodging a bullet this year with Kylie getting Christmas #1 and not Wham again, I’m sure it would’ve gained some negative “Are the Charts Broken?” press. It will be business as usual next year though I’m sure and Wham will be Christmas number 1 once again.

If you have YouTube Premium video streams will be 100-1.
