164. East 17 - Stay Another Day

Most of the Xmas songs already dark red, the December effect is over.

Mariah Carey number 7 combined.

Slade did another TOTP performance of the song in 1983 for a re-release.

15. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (+37)

I only count Military Wives and the NHS Choir as choirs.

So to clarify Too Much in 1998 was the last truly original Christmas Number 1 that was not either from X Factor, a choir or already years old.

Six weeks of constant airplay before the release date is what made the charts boring back then.

That year's Xmas number 1 - Gary Jules and Michael Andrews' Mad World - was also a cover version so you'll have to back to the year before when Girls Aloud topped the festive chart with the original Sound of the Underground.

Movement on the Xmas front. 42. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (+88) 74. The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York (+142 and 907) 75. Roy Wood and Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day 85. Wham - Last Christmas (+219) 91. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

50. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You 61. Wilkinson feat Karen Harding - Sweet Lies

I'm devastated, I feel I have wasted my time.

Sorry but I was first.

Get well soon Mark, you were my all time favourite chart host.

Love My Life becomes the first top 15 sales track not to even make top 50!

It's at 154.

Would love to see Stop The Calvary finally make it's top 40 return this year. Yet to do so since downloads and streaming have been eligible.

I would exchange This Girl and Thriller for In The Name Of Love and Perfect Strangers.

She's still only 24 years old as well.

Clean Anne-Maul? Don't get it.

Possibly it's due to itunes sales being lower than last year.

166. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You. Seriously? Can it not just wait another month?

99. Michael Jackson - Thriller Falls a whopping 41 places before Halloween itself!

The target proportion would have also only known Pete Burns from his CBB days onwards.
