It was never originally a Christmas song (it’s about a summer “vacation”), but has basically since become one because Americans refer to this period as the “holidays”.

Not sure on that one! It still has the same release date on iTunes from what I can see.

Not too surprised - he's got a UK stadium tour next year!

It looks like it’s a bot-fuelled song, which is a shame as it’s pretty good!

Indeed, and it’s not the first Christmas-themed cover of it either! Lindsey himself sees it as a Christmas song now though! @1730587747176312919

It’s a Spotify original, and very high up their main Christmas playlist.

From the new film 'Red One', Laufey's 'Christmas Magic' is set to enter the UK Top 20 this week! Sounds decent on first listen, but as it's an Amazon Original, I look forward to hearing it more next year. :lol: xYbBTzpVmY8

Back in at #126 on Spotify today, below versions by Eartha Kitt & Laufey at #66 & #92.

I see Bleachers’ Christmas song has entered after being added to Spotify’s main Xmas playlist the other day - I hope they can get their first charting single this way! :lol:

Any sign of the Hottest Record of the Year? Feels like the nominees have usually been announced by now.

Second song ‘Wild Long Lie’ is out tomorrow morning!

I’d like them to bring back International Album, it hasn’t been a category since 2011 though!

Up to #41 today - so close!

Voted!

I'm a Celeb having some impact on the Apple chart!: 179. McFly & Taio Cruz - Shine a Light (feat. Taio Cruz) [Radio Edit]

There's also an extended 9:22 version out today!

His 2021 album only sold 9.5k in the first week.

The new one is supposed to be the final album, but we'll see I suppose...

Yeah it's his third posthumous album - he apparently had over 3k unreleased songs when he died.

Elvis has two Christmas albums - might be something you want to check out this year Steve!
