Powder Moon
Nobody bite my head off but is the charity single a fast track to the top spot? I just think Ladbaby's music is seriously lacking and nowhere near popular enough to enter straight at number one, especially for a THIRD year running.
crunch2k
is there no midweek char update this week?
GS
Its a bank holiday so it will be out today
crunch2k
ok thanks :)

Owen Adams
where's the buy or listen link for No. 5?

They're probably not allowed to be political
Damián
So happy Kylie's Santa Baby got a new peak this year at 32!!!! Yessss

You 'forgot' the buy button for number 5

I think I know why

The following artists achieved their first UK #1s in 2020
Burna Boy, Juice WRLD, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Saint Jhn, DaBaby, Roddy Ricch, Jawsh 685, Joel Corry, MNEK, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, 24kGoldn, Iann Dior, Internet Money, Gunna, Don Toliver, and NAV
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
it’s hard to believe wap was cardi b’s first number 1 and blinding lights was the weeknd’s first when they’ve both been around for a while and have each had massive hits. :o
Cameron
I could definitely see a #1 for The Weeknd coming at some point, not sure if I could see Cardi B getting one lol
Piran
"I could definitely see a #1 for The Weeknd coming at some point..."
I feel it coming! ;)
Cameron
Look what you've done
Mrsliver
Now we just wait for "Save your Tears" to be the weeknd's next big hit in 2021
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
gosh, i really hope so, it’s so underrated and has grown on me a lot.
Piran
I'm a motherf**king starboy! :P
Cameron
That's what the top of my Christmas tree said
Piran
Haha, my cat kept trying to hit all the baubles on mine! :P
Cameron
The baubles at the bottom of my tree kept falling off and we didn't know why but then we realised it was our dog because his bed was next to the tree and he kept wagging his tail lol
Piran
My family in NZ have two cats that kept climbing their Christmas tree when they were just kittens! :P
Cameron
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Congrats to LadBaby on getting the Christmas #1, he becomes the third artist to have three Christmas #1s in a row after The Beatles (1963, 1964, 1965) and The Spice Girls (1996, 1997, 1998). Let's begin 2021 with a bang and get BJIAFC to #1.
Mrsliver
If Afterglow can get top 30 on Christmas I can't imagine what will happen to it in January
Piran
It would've been #5 this week without Christmas songs, after only like three days of tracking too! :O
LD Quid20
No Garlic Bread!
Blank
So how much airplay did #5 get? :-)
Piran
Probably absolutely none! :P
Mrsliver
If it got any it would be hilarious
Blank
Oddly, it's not their first hit. They've a few similarly themed/titled singles (top 75, below top 40).

To be fair I haven't heard No Time To Die in ages, given how much I liked her new song I'm sure my score would be higher if I listened again!
eternalricardo
Good List! Although it's safe to say you didn't like WAP as much as I did!
Foxes
Thanks, and yeah lmao I didn't like 'WAP' at all lol.

#1: Taylor Swift – Evermore
#2: Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia
#3: Taylor Swift – Folklore
#4: Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets To My Downfall
#5: Kygo – Golden Hour
#6: Lady Gaga – Chromatica
#7: Ava Max – Heaven &
#8: The 1975 – Notes On A Conditional Form
#9: Echosmith – Lonely Generation
#10: Rina Sawayama – Sawayama
Feel free to discuss yours here too. :)
P
PN
Personally, shift Dua to number 1, plus shift The 1975 up and get Ellie Goulding's album Brightest Blue into the top 3 at least, then I'm happy :)
Foxes
I've seen these before but again, I absolutely love that 'Future Nostalgia', 'Golden Hour', 'Heaven & ' and 'SAWAYAMA' all make the Top 10! I'm going to reveal mine on the 27th I think! :D
Piran
I'm glad you love at least half of my list! I look forward to seeing yours on Sunday. :)
Piran
Dua was so close to being #1 for me, but I just didn't like the last two tracks on 'Future Nostalgia' unfortunately.
I'll give her this though... the singles choices that she made this year were absolutely incredible! :D

7: 0/10
8: 6/10
9: 6/10
10: 11/10 (Top 3 on my list, still trying to decide my favourite of them all)
I think I’ll post my list either tomorrow or the New Year’s chart.
Piran
Very polarising scores here! :P
I'm glad that you gave all of the albums in my Top 3 a perfect score, but it to see absolutely nothing for 'Tickets To My Fall' & 'Heaven & '. :/
I feel like 'Sawayama' will continue to grow on me in 2021! :D
Piran
I'm glad you think most of this list is good, but it's a shame that 'Chromatica' cooled off on so fast.
I knew that you weren't going to like 'Heaven & ' whatsoever though! :P
Piran
:(
Damián
No Kylie DISCO?
Damián
Rina's album is great
Damián
Haha...I like Ava but the whole album was a complete filler, so cheap production. Imo
Piran
Hey Dami! :)
You've heard 'Sawayama' too? That's awesome! What are your favourite tracks from it?
Piran
Hmm... it was certainly a very good album, but this year had such tough competition from me! :P
Even 'After Hours' somehow didn't make the list, haha.
David N'jama
NOW PLAYING: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU (#2)
The true Christmas number 1🍷🍷
Laurence Sully
Paul McCartney - Number One Again !!!
Piran
I've got a couple of lists for tonight...
Firstly, one that might be a bit controversial, but here are my 10 least favourite songs of 2020 (this is just my opinion, so please don't get offended if a song you like is here!).
#10: Anne-Marie – Birthday
#9: Tory Lanez – Money Over Fallouts
#8: Jason Derulo – Take You Dancing
#7: Central Cee – Loading
#6: Jawsh 685 & Jason Derulo ft BTS – Savage Love [BTS Remix]
#5: KSI ft Smokepurpp & Lil Pump – Poppin’
#4: Ashnikko – Daisy
#3: JVLA – Such A Wh*re [Stellular Remix]
#2: Gabby Barrett – I Hope
#1: Justin Bieber – Yummy
If you want, you can ask why I've put a particular song here & I'll post a full review of it. :)
P
PN
I'd, sadly, put the two Derulo songs higher in the list, but I agree with number 1 totally.
Piran
It's a real shame, because Jason Derulo used to be way better & I hope he returns to his signature 2010's hits, rather than anything he attempted this year.
I just want to pretend that 'Yummy' never happened going forward! :P
Mrsliver
Yummy topped everyone's list you can't not hate it it's hilarious how bad it performed
P
PN
I said that I didn't like JB, but Yummy is actually shocking.
It's also slightly sad to see Anne-Marie in that list because I agree with you on that as well. She usually makes pretty good music as well
Piran
The thing is, JB's EDM-inspired 'Purpose' was actually a very good album throughout with singles that were deserving of their hit status! I feel that the production that he was using around that time really suited his vocals, so it's really disappointing to see his musical quality drop off this hard. :/
Piran
Mind you, 'I Hope' was close! Thank goodness that never took off outside the US. :/
As for 'Yummy', it's not even bad in an hilarious way either, but more just a shocking embarrassment!
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
10) bullshoot (i wouldn’t give it a 0/10 anymore tho haha)
9) awful (tory lanez is a jacka**)
8) meh
7) fire
6) omg just kill me now
5) v good (sorry i just find it a lot of fun)
4) banger (the production is hard)
3) bad
2) awful
1) more bullshoot
⁉️
4 is amazing and 3 is alright, but lord the rest .
Piran
Even 'Birthday', the "best" song on this list, would probably get no higher than a strong 2/10 from me! :P
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
7 is a banger too 🔥
Piran
So it looks like you agree with seven songs that I put here! :P
We seem to have very differing opinions on 'Loading', 'Poppin' & especially 'Daisy' though, haha.
Damián
Agree on most of them
⁉️
Oh yeah, didn’t notice it.
Piran
I'm glad you agree with most of this list! I'm curious to know what you'd choose for this list? :)
Piran
Top 10 Songs Of 2020 (according to Christmas Top Of The Pops)...
#1: Blinding Lights
#2: Dance Monkey
#3: Roses
#4: Before You Go
#5: Don't Start Now
#6: Rockstar
#7: Head & Heart (😍)
#8: Someone You Loved
#9: Own It
#10: Watermelon Sugar
GS
roses should be 2 places higher
P
PN
It's obviously subject to last-minute change though (remember 2018 when One Kiss knocked Drake off his perch...)
David N'jama
The number 10 is quite surprising though
P
PN
I really don't understand how it got there. It didn't even last that long in the top 20 (unlike Adore You)
Piran
Same... I'm also surprised that 'The Box' isn't here, as well as Lewis Capaldi getting two songs in the Top 10 despite not really releasing anything this year! :O
David N'jama
His album was highly successful
Piran
Yeah, plus, 'Someone You Loved' somehow returned to the Top 10 of the singles chart at the start of the year, even though it was still on ACR most of the time back then! :P
Piran
True, it could all change in the final week, but there's absolutely no way that 'Dance Monkey' is catching up with 'Blinding Lights' now! :P
Piran
Hmm... I'd say that 'Head & Heart' should be six places higher! ;)
P
PN
I know, Blinding Lights being number one was nailed in, but I was mainly talking about positions lower in the table, like where Watermelon Sugar is right now, for example
Piran
Oh sure, 'Watermelon Sugar' could easily be knocked out of the Top 10, plus 'Head & Heart' might be able to swap places with 'Rockstar'. :)

so sad the box couldn’t make it into the top 10 😭😭😭
Piran
I'm not "sad" about it, but I'm certainly very shocked that it isn't here! :O

Blinding lights ruled. but this is a darn good list
Piran
It that 'Willow' fell all the way from #3 to #37 this week, but I was pleasantly surprised by 'Afterglow' & while I know that Ed Sheeran never seems to take a break, I actually really like this new song of his. :)
Foxes
Ed took a break for the entirety of 2016 and also pretty much the entirety of 2020 lol. He even said when releasing 'Afterglow' that he's not off break yet, he just wanted to put out a song for his fans.

I didn't listen to it on the chart show today. What's it like?
Piran
It's fairly simple really; it's just Ed's vocals & an acoustic guitar, but the melody on the hook is very soothing! I don't think it would do anything big as a single by any means, but for a one-off song for his fans, I definitely appreciate it. :)
Piran
Yeah, if you think about it, he only put out an album last year, so I don't expect anything big from him in 2021 either.
The artists I really want to see return next year are: Adele, Rihanna & Kendrick Lamar! :D
P
PN
Fair enough, I can see why you like it, and why I might like it too. But on your last sentence, you really never know - it's Ed Sheeran for crying out loud, so a song of his is naturally going top 20 at least, even if it is a surprise
P
PN
Rihanna kind of returned this year, but I can see what you mean, and I totally agree!
Piran
Only featuring on one song, as far as I'm aware, but I'm waiting for a full album from her (it's been nearly five years now!). :P
Piran
I agree that anything Ed releases will become a hit at this point in his career, no matter how good or bad it is! :P

I'm so excited for his comeback! :D

I don't think love is a compass or forever young will be in the top 100 next week because they are from christmas ads
Piran
I guess it's difficult to tell with those ones, as how do we know that they might not have become hits anyway? This is where, like with 'Stay Another Day', the debate of whether or not something is a Christmas song or not comes in! :P
David N'jama
Of course, Ari rules 'em all
Piran
I think 'Positions' is going on ACR next week though, so out of the possible contenders, I hope that either Little Mix or Ed Sheeran will be #1 on New Year's Day. :)
David N'jama
It could get a reset the following week though
Piran
Possibly, but at least it means we'll almost certainly get a brand new #1 next week, which should make the New Year's chart a bit more exciting than this one. :)

So piran what’s you’re thoughts on Ed Sheerans new track?
Piran
'Afterglow'? I really like it actually! :D
What do you think of it?
P
PN
The fact that LadBaby is number one was far too obvious, so let's dwell on other matters, shall we?
Fair play to Paradise for staying in the top 40 despite the avalanche; it would be at number 11 if there weren't Christmas songs.
Ed Sheeran for number one next week? You definitely can't rule it out because he is Ed Sheeran after all - I didn't listen to the song so have no idea what it's like.
Whoopty would be number 3 without Christmas and charity songs - I'm not the biggest fan of the song at all, so to see it there isn't great, but still.
Alright, allow me to get sick at number 8. How has it been allowed to chart this highly! It is a really underwhelming version of the original, and saddening as well. I don't really like Bieber, so this makes matters worse!
Levitating dropped 50 places! I know it was caught up in the avalanche, but I'm pretty sure it's not on ACR, so how did it drop so much?
The NHS song didn't even make the top 40! I know the original was heavily on ACR, but still, not even making the top 40 is really sad.
There is one great thing about this chart though: Ellie at number 69 :)
Rector
Levitating is on ACR. Ed is dropping a lot these few days so maybe not number one methinks. Whoopty would be #1 if positions and Sweet Melody goes on ACR (which they are at risk of next week) Everything else I agree :)
P
PN
Positions probably will, Sweet Melody maybe not because of the Jesy Nelson news. To be honest, I want it to chart highly (Sweet Melody that is)
Piran
While it wouldn't have been my personal choice for the Christmas #1, I'm happy that LadBaby raised all that money to combat food poverty across the UK!
It's such a shame that the NHS Choir aren't even in the Top 40 though! Every single person who works of them to serve our country should be incredibly proud of what they're doing for us. :)
Piran
Merry Christmas everybody! 🎄
I hope you’re all having a wonderful day! ❤️
David N'jama
So far so good. Merry Christmas piran

Have a wonderful Xmas time Piran !!! pS. I can't wait for the next Singles Chart in which I expect the whole Top 10 singles' set may be replaced ...
Damián
Merry Xmas dear Piran!!!
Piran
Thank you! I hope your Christmas Day was good too. :)
Piran
Thank you! I hope you had a good Christmas Day too. :)
Oh yeah, every song in this week's Top 10 will probably drop out next week!
