Where is flappie - The chistmas hit from 2020 by Todd Rundgren - (original from Youp van het Hek - Netherlands)
GS
flopped
MusicAddict53
it will come into the chart - i'm sure!

it started out as kiss how did it end up like this

How do you find a peak chart position for a song that didn't make the top 100?
Mrsliver
What do you mean?
LR
lance rogers
My question is self explanatory but just for you here goes.
I read that 'Hand in glove' by the smiths (not the version with Sandie Shaw) reached a peak position of 124. Since only the top 100 is published, how is it possible to verify what I read?
Karl Macnaughton
How is Positions still number one? :-/ Dull, dull, dull. The bottom half of the top 10 is definitely better than the top half for me this week.
Also, an entire year in the Top 40 as consecutive weeks for Blinding Lights is definitely worth a mention. I don't remember that ever happening before! Could be wrong but I can't think what else managed it. Even Dance Monkey only managed 50.
Karl Macnaughton
*thinks out loud*: No, wait, I remember thinking this about Thinking Out Loud as well so that must have managed it too.
Mrsliver
They got rid of the exclamation mark in wham and I'm slightly annoyed by it for some reason
Cameron
Predictions for where Mariah will be next week?
Mrsliver
I'd say somewhere in the bottom top 10 maybe 7 or 8

Definitely Top 10, maybe even Top 5! :D

2. Therefore I Am 8/10
love this but i have no idea why, deserved a better music video
3. Sweet Melody 7/10
sounds a little outdated but im glad confetti's singles arent flopping horribly :)

2.good song but i like the music video
3. i'm glad sweet melody isnt flopping either because its a banger
4. best song of the top 10
5. i dont think its the best either tbf, but its decent lol
6. getting old now
7. banger
8. another banger
9. dog shitt
10. more dog shitt

Correction! Wizzard reached a peak of Number 4
in the UK charts in 1973 with
I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday.
For some reason you have Number 10.

Billie should have been number 1 this week!! ariana's single is so boring!!

Positions is getting so overrated at this point! 5 weeks is way too much.
Ian Robert Herechuk
told you last week, that it would still be there. i don't like the song much, prefer Little Mix

God knows I get frustrated with the artificial manipulation of the charts (ACR etc...) but a Christmas song from 1994 almost at the top in November? Controversial as it may be I think 'Stay Another Day' was the better song anyway.

Ian Robert Herechuk
So itâs nice to see all the Christmas Songs entering the chart this week, but what are your favourites ?
My Top 10 for now:
1 Do They Know Its Christmas - Band Aid
2 Oh Holy Night - Il Divo
3 The Magic of Christmas Day - Celine Dion
4 One More Sleep - Leona Lewis
5 Last Christmas - Wham!
6 On This Winters Night - Lady A
7 Christmas Without You - Ava Max
8 All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
9 Hallelujah - Carrie Underwood & John Legend
10 Please come Home for Christmas - Jon Bon Jovi
A mix of old and new - and some lesser known ones here. Anyone got some other less known ones we should all check out ??
Piran
Ooh... Iâll have to think of a Top 10, but my three favourites would be: âChristmas Tree Farmâ, âUnderneath The Treeâ & âAll I Want For Christmas Is Youâ, in that order. :)
John Van Der Kiste
Three to start with: 'Father Christmas' by The Kinks; 'Run with The Fox', Chris Squire and Alan White; 'Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow', by Sweet (a 2000s line-up, which still features Andy Scott from the original band's glam rock 70s heyday). You'll find them all on Youtube. Oh, and 'Merry Xmas Everybody' by Slade, highest position reached as above, 1, correct, but 'I Wish...Everyday' by Wizzard, highest position 4 not 10!
𧥠oliviasnoodles đ
hereâs mine:
1. all i want for christmas is you - mariah carey
2. merry christmas everyone - shakinâ stevens
3. the christmas song - nat king cole
4. 2000 miles - the pretenders
5. last christmas - wham
6. jingle bell rock - bobby helms
7. fairytale of new york - the pogues ft kirsty maccoll
8. do they know itâs christmas - band aid
9. have yourself a merry little christmas - frank sinatra / sam smith
10. christmas (baby please come home) - darlene love
Rector

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (27/11/2020 - 04/12/2020)
đŽ (Negative)
1) I think just about everybody here (even some of the die-hard Arianators!), are getting tired seeing âPositionsâ at #1! Yeah, of course a lead single from a huge global popstar like Ariana Grande was going to top the charts⊠but for five consecutive weeks?! This better not pass âThank U, Nextâ as her longest leader.
2) I donât know if itâs a trend in 2020, but I just canât connect with neither Shawnâs nor JBâs music! For the former, if itâs trying to go for more of a rock edge with his upcoming album⊠honestly, for as much as Iâm not really all that sold on âWonderâ, he at least had some real punch there! Instead, he just sounds really boring & unengaged here, with really blocky & flat production that wouldnât even do him any justice anyway. Sure, the content does have a more interesting theme behind it this time, but JB canât really add anything onto that! Like I said, this is really not clicking for me & itâs so frustrating, because I know both artists have way more talent in them, e.g. âSomething Bigâ, Thereâs Nothing Holdinâ Me Backâ & âIf I Canât Have Youâ for Shawn Mendes, along with âWhat Do You Mean?â, âSorryâ & âCold Waterâ for Justin Bieber... to name only a few! Both of them need to go back to those kind of songs & for as mean as it sounds, I actually hope this tanks in order for them to realise that.
3) Mind you, at least âWonderâ doesnât have the wailing & incredibly forgettable flow that âWhooptyâ does, so to see absolutely blow up on Spotify & almost crack the Top 10 is truly concerning! Trust me, if I have a âstrongly negativeâ section, the gain for this would probably be in it.
4) Iâve just given up on âDiamondsâ hitting the Top 10 at this point! Sam Smith, Iâm so sorry, you deserved way better than this with such an anthem.
5) Why the heck is âLoadingâ back in?! Those trumpets are so bad that I canât focus on anything else to do with the song.
đ (Mixed)
1) I canât remember if Iâve said this before, but I actually knew a lot about BTS & even supported some of the native hits before they even touched the UK charts, so itâs kind of cool that theyâre at the point now where they can sell literally tens of thousands of copies, even if it isnât in English! Unfortunately, this one cooled off me a fair bit throughout the week. Sure, I really like the gentle production & the smooth vocals, but it does feel like some of the members sound very strained when they push into their upper range & it wouldnât go off live at all in my opinion! The description of life events has been a key part of what BTS really good songwriters, but this just doesnât land in the same way for me & it sounds more like a track that should be left as a deep-cut. Again, this isnât bad, but donât expect this to have the same kind of longevity that âDynamiteâ had, because I doubt itâll even come close to that!
2) I donât know how it managed it, but âBlinding Lightsâ is still here! Donât get me wrong, I still love the song & it didnât even leave my own chart all that long ago, but man, 52 weeks inside the Official Chart is too much for any song. I said it about âDance Monkeyâ & Iâll say it again here, but sometimes, youâve just got to let a huge smash go for a while before you genuinely realise how awesome it is! Iâm impressed that it hit this significant milestone, but yeah, we need to drop it for something far newer now (maybe even an upcoming Christmas song?).
3) So I only heard âPlugged In Freestyleâ for the first time during the chart show⊠the drill-inspired beat was definitely a right fit for Fumez The Engineerâs flow, but Iâm not really sure how much hype he brings to this as an MC. Again, after only one listen, thatâs all I can say on it for now, but overall, while I see the appeal behind this, I donât think itâs on a solid enough level to stick with me personally.
4) Magic always seems to happen on the albums chart whenever Michael Ball & Alfie Boe work together! Itâs not really my particular style of music, but Iâll tell you this, itâs definitely going to get a second week on Christmas week for sure.
đą (Positive)
1) While there wasnât really much action at the very top, I adore seeing âLevitatingâ break through into the Top 5! I said that this would be a successful single choice from the day âFuture Nostalgiaâ was released & exactly eight months later, Iâm so happy to say that I was right. The DaBaby remix is fire too.
2) Speaking of Dua⊠okay, I was honestly unsure about how well âPrisonerâ would hold up, but Iâll tell you what, Iâm so glad that itâs the highest debut of the week! Not only do Dua & MIley have amazing chemistry & charisma in this, but the latter brings back her intensely raw vocals, which the more Iâm hearing them, the more I believe thatâs the reason that sheâs getting a second wind in 2020. The guitar groove & the interpolation on the disco classic âPhysicalâ (also a Dua reference) are really cool features too! I donât know how thisâll get promoted with both âLevitatingâ & âMidnight Skyâ both still performing even better, but yeah, I really hope this catches onto the radio early & doesnât get dropped now ahead of the inevitable festive takeover. Awesome collaboration!
3) One word⊠Christmas! Okay, the insanely huge jump for Mariah is the highlight (especially considering weâre still not even in December yet!), but I honestly either like or love every other festive song here too, even if the inevitable & ginormous takeover throughout the next month will undoubtedly get a little annoying if itâs starting this soon, haha.
4) Finally⊠a EDM song that I recommend before itâs picked up on airwaves is slowly becoming a real dark horse in the charts! The fact that this summery banger is doing so well on downloads despite the country not having the right weather nor situation for it right now is a really promising sign for dance music in 2020 & it shows how optimistic some music fans are about the future. If it can do the same throughout December, then it might even start 2021 in a better position than it is now!
5) Netflix & PS5, youâve just got a Post Malone tune thatâs aged amazingly well for me back into the Top 40, so thank you so much! Since it came off ACR this week, it might not even drop away that fast either. This reminds me of far simpler times!
6) On the other hand, while Iâm indifferent on âHolyâ & âLemonadeâ finally getting put on ACR this week, it did clear out both âDaisyâ & âPut Your Records Onâ, which is certainly a step in the right direction! Iâm still baffled that the latter two even got this far at all, but hey, at least theyâre both a thing of the past now.
Thanks for reading everyone! Have a good weekend. :)

loading is back because iâm overplaying it? sorry, i love that song! đ
yeah, thank u next is a tune, positions better not tie or beat that song in weeks at number 1. also, 52 weeks is too much for any song (unless itâs by billie eilish), so even if i did like blinding lights, it has to go.
unsurprisingly, i love that christmas songs are back. i see bublé is coming out of hibernation... :P
Piran
A bit of advice on âLoadingâ... please overplay another song, as I hate that one! :P
I might take a masterpiece like âLove Storyâ getting a full year inside Top 40, but for as good as âBlinding Lightsâ is, itâs not on that level, haha. :)
Yeah, Bublé has fully defrosted now! ;)

Sam Smith has already promoted 'Diamonds' couple times in the UK including Strictly, Graham Norton and the MTV EMA's. Hopefully he is still going to promote the on other UK shows like This Morning or Jonathan Ross Show as this will hopefully increase the chances of the song being on the Top 10 or a little Remix version of the song would help to feature another singer. You have got to believe that Capitol Records are promoting the out of that song so fingers crossed that Sam will perform this song on other UK shows. Chances are that it will happen
Joshua Sombra
I definitely see the song hit the Top 10 because I am sure that the promotion is not over. I bet you 80% that I will be right.
JB
Jack Brooks
Yawn again at the Number 1. Is it the worst song ever? Of course not. But there are better songs in the current Top 10.
Mrsliver
Defrosted?
Piran
I donât know if youâve ever seen the meme that Michael BublĂ© only ever appears at Christmas? :P
Itâs obviously not true, but I was just going along with the joke, haha.
Piran
Yeah, well summarised actually!
âPositionsâ isnât special enough to spend five consecutive weeks at #1 for me, although I wouldnât even be surprised if it was at the top next week & the week after too. :/
Piran
I really hope that you are somehow right! :D
I guess itâs still got a chance until several festive songs eclipse it or it gets struck by ACR, whichever comes first.
Mrsliver
I mean at this point he does only appear at Christmas
JB
Jack Brooks
I was hoping 'Therefore I Am' was going to overtake it this week. My personal pick for the next Number 1 would have been Midnight Sky but I know that ship has likely sailed now.
Piran
âMidnight Skyâ wonât be teaching #1 sadly, but itâll probably gain next week (potentially to a new peak), thanks to Mileyâs new album being released back on Friday. :)
Piran
Haha, true! :P
JB
Jack Brooks
True, i'm a fan of 'Prisoner' as well so i'm hoping that rises further up the charts next week.
Piran
Hopefully itâll rebound when more streaming data comes in. :)
Joshua Sombra
Don't lose hope on 'Diamonds' as it may struggle to rise up as they probably putting it on ACR for a bit as the Christmas songs are coming back to the charts so when they have had it's time then hopefully some songs including 'Diamonds will gain a new peak.
Piran
I really hope it can come off ACR after Christmas, since itâs out of the Top 40 in the new chart. :/
Piran
OMG... âUNDERNEATH THE TREEâ AT 46!!!!!! :D
GS
Top 40 next week
Piran
Yeah, so excited for that one! Probably Top 10 in the Christmas chart too. :)
Ian Robert Herechuk
I'm hoping it will get its highest position this year - Top 20
Piran
Yeah, it peaked at #21 on its initial release in 2013, but I think a new peak for it this year will definitely be happening for it, with another month until Christmas! :D
Neil Prince
A strong start this year. I reckon it may beat it's 21 peak!
Piran
I think it will too! Itâs definitely re-entering the Top 40 next week. :)
Piran

Mark Booker
Hi piran
What an achievement Lewis Capaldi has managed 100 consecutive weeks in top 75 with Someone You Loved
May be his last week though
Piran
Hi Mark! :)
Yeah, thatâs an impressive milestone for sure, but I think it wonât be the last we see of it.
Weâre getting a wave of festive classics right now, so Iâm sure itâll appear again when all of them drop away in the New Year!
Mrsliver
Thanks piran I needed this today
