Official Singles Chart Top 100 on 27/12/2024

Just got the occ app... is this any different from in browser at all??

i've been quite poorly since Monday of this week so  Christmas was positively bleak for me (though i'm aware others suffer way more and regularly).

Similar to last week, i've filtered out my 10 most recently played at random tracks. this time they all contain the word 'HAPPY' - which i wish for all of you from now and beyond : )

I think it's noteworthy to mention that only 1 Christmas record is falling this week (do correct me if i'm wrong) - that being 'Freezing this Christmas' by Sir Starmer and the granny freezers.

I got a lot of CD's for Christmas and a new CD player, amd I've been loving it. Again I hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas

2025 IS YOUR YEAR!! DO NOT MESS IT UP!!

Also I'm convinced that 2025 will be the best year in OCC HISTORY, believe with me! 

Since the next chart will be in 2025, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and has a great new year!! Personally, I got so much for Christmas and I’m so happy 

I haven’t heard the song yet, but very happy to see Kesha get her first top 40 hit of the decade (wish JOYRIDE was a hit though)

so so happy to see Laufey with THREE songs in the top 40 this week!! She absolutely deserves all this success and I hope it can translate to her non-Christmas music in 2025

As much as I love Christmas music, I’m really excited for next week’s complete reset 

Absolutely ecstatic to see Underneath The Tree back in the top 10 at a new peak! I’m thrilled it was able to hit the top 10 this year, the fact it did 1.9M streams on Spotify on Christmas is crazy!! 

So the chart of the year was counted down on Radio 1 earlier today! What did you all think of it for those of you who listened in?

My personal highlights of the year were ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ getting a resurgence right at the beginning of the year, Hozier surprising us all with a #1 hit, the “Brat Summer” phenomenon and especially the mainstream breakthrough for Chappell Roan!

Top 19 without Christmas songs (yep... that's how few of them survived): 

1. Gracie Abrams - That's So True (=)
2. Rosé & Bruno Mars - APT. (=)
3. Lola Young - Messy (=)
4. Chrystal - The Days (+1)
5. Cynthia Erivo ft. Ariana Grande - Defying Gravity (-1)
6. Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile (+1)
7. Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem (+3)
8. Gigi Perez - Sailor Song (=)
9. Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You (+4)
10. Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER (+6)

11. Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! (+7)
12. Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo & Stephen Schwartz - What Is This Feeling? (-1)
13. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste (+6)
14. Ariana Grande - Popular (=)
15. Kendrick Lamar & SZA - luther (-3)
16. Benson Boone - Beautiful Things (+5)
17. Pawsa & Adventures Of Stevie V - Dirty Cash (Money Talks) (+6)
18. Sam Fender - People Watching (-3)
19. Teddy Swims - Lose Control (+3)

Shocked to see so many non Christmas entry's have high falls this week!

when’s the end of year chart available 

Just like last year, only three non-festive songs survived the holiday takeover this year. It’s a bit of a shame that Greg Lake’s ‘I Believe In Father Christmas’ never returned to the chart during the holidays.

That being said, it’s cool that ‘Sleigh Ride’ reached a new peak for The Ronettes. I’m also delighted that Darlene Love’s ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ and Cher’s ‘DJ Play A Christmas Song’ got at least a week in the Top 40! 😊

Since this is the last chart of the year, I want to thank you all for 2024 and wish everybody the very best for 2025. Hope the next 12 months are everything you want them to be! ❤️

Who’s ready for the Re Re Re Re chart next week?
