Hey...isn´t it interesting that last week I protested that DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS - CHRIS REA had never been a top 10 and magically tis week it is at #10??? it makes me happy, thou!!
K
Kiesling
I know it's kinda late but Happy New year to you all and best wishes to all your families :)
Luis Gerardo Amador
It completely took me by surorise that Elton & Ed went back to the top!!! but, well, it is still Christmas time...and also I got surprised that the alphabet song sunk so down!!! 😖
Jonathan Z
katy :o
DK
Dave Knight
How can Ladbaby be number 1 last week then sink without trace this week? Looks like no one streamed it on Christmas day 🙄
⁉️
Charity songs always do that though, even before streaming?
Also, it’s still in the Top 40, it held up decently unfortunately.
DK
Dave Knight
So the top 13 singles are all Christmas songs plus a lot more inside the top 40. Has anyone noticed Christmas was over a week ago? Oh wait, sorry I forgot the way streaming affects chart positions is so accurate isnt it? To make this more accurate we would need a chart that updates daily. This wouldn't have happened in the days of sales and physical formats, because people would have already bought their Christmas singles the week before Christmas so they got the songs to play over Christmas. Now we get the delayed affect because everyone streamed Christmas songs during Christmas day so we get the delayed affect a week too late. It must have been embarrassing for Radio 1 last night having to do the chart run down. I couldn't bare to listen to it personally. Sadly this is the future of our charts. Halloween and Christmas songs riding high in the charts a week too late. Unless the chart company does something about it we are stuck with it. Happy New Year!
⁉️
Do you not have anything better to do than spaz about streaming? 🙄
Michael Seager
A pity really. I thought people were allowed opinions on here.
DK
Dave Knight
It just disappoints me the way the charts are these days. It wouldn't surprise me if next week all the songs that have been pushed out due to the influx of xmas songs will all be re entries in the chart on Friday. We need new material to keep coming to keep the charts vibrant and fresh. The charts are so stagnant now.
⁉️
Nope, banned that ages ago. 😢
Michael Seager
Okay then.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
michael everyone’s opinion is valid here. it’s just that this comments section nowadays is just full of children who don’t care for other people or their opinion, and have no appreciation towards real music, which explains why there’s so many fans of ded sheeran and the mid laroi here. it’s become an absolute joke. but dw ima always respect your opinion no matter what ✊
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
ever heard of tracking data? i already explained this to you when halloween songs re entered. christmas day was during the tracking week and christmas songs were all people listened to on that day, and plus the streaming figures were so high that they just overshadowed other songs streamed for the rest of the week (sorry if i worded this poorly lol). happy new year btw!
Michael Seager
Thanks for that.
Ronald van Veen
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all here!

Happy New year Ronald!!

The lovely DOLLY PARTON back into the Top 100 this year. Didn't see that coming but so happy, real happy to see that!!
DK
Dave Knight
Lovely as it is, its a week too late.
thierry henon
Still can't see ELLA HENDERSON: HURRICANE" in the Top 100 this week even though the amazing single reached the Top 30 in quite a few European countries!
Damián
Love Ella Henderson!!
thierry henon
Happy to see AVA MAX at 89 with XMAS WITHOUT YOU but THE MOTTO should be back as well: great success in some countries but a real flop in the UK!!
thierry henon
So over the moon to see 3 singles from MARIAH (the queen of Xmas" inside the Top 100 this week with CHRISTMAS reaching a new peak: yippee!!
DK
Dave Knight
Yeah when Xmas was over a week ago 🙄
thierry henon
OMG! Am i dreaming or really seeing BRITNEY back into the Top 100 this week??!! one of her most underrated single is reaching a new peak this year!! finally "MY ONLY WISH" is getting some success in the UK not only in Holland!!
Ronald van Veen
Holland is not alone anymore!!!
thierry henon
DARLENE LOVE:"Xmas (baby please come home") should have been a Top 10 ages ago: such an amazing xmas song.
thierry henon
Do hope to see DEAN MARTIN finally reaching the Top 20 next year!
thierry henon
Finally i can see OLIVIA DEAN reaching the Top 20 this week with her lovely version of "THE XMAS SONG"... the same goes for the amazing LEONA LEWIS...
thierry henon
Another of my fav Xmas song reaching a new peak this year after been released many years ago :ANY WILLIAMS: "it's the most wonderful..."
thierry henon
THE POGUES are always so close to reach the Xmas number 1 spot but always miss it. I was hoping "FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK " to be our Xmas number 1 single this year!!
Ronald van Veen
Happy New Year https://disqus.com/by/thierryhenon/ !
thierry henon
I really hope MARIAH CAREY would have reached higher this year with "ALL i want.." after reaching the Top spot last year!
thierry henon
Over the moon to see BRENDA LEE reaching a new peak with "Rocking over the Xmas tree"...can't believe she released her single over 60 years ago!!
thierry henon
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 everyone! Wishing you all health and happiness for the coming year!
Rob Parkinson
Happy new year Thierry
thierry henon
Happy New Year Rob! All the best for the coming year! Hope you had a great Xmas as well.

Sure did, thanks Thierry. Hope you did too, hoping for some amazing music this year
Ronald van Veen
And again: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Luis Gerardo Amador
Thanks Thierry!! same to you , double!!

Happy New Year Ronald! Hope you had a great Xmas and a nice rest as well..Back to reality now and back to work! Have a wonderful week.

mildredfarts
That's the most Christmassy chart in my 50 year living memory! the entire top 10 (top 13 for purists) is basically a Christmas playlist! It'll be next week's 'clearout' that i will find most amusing and interesting. Happy New Year to all!
S
SteveL
It was fascinating to watch! I really love The Waitresses single Christmas Wrapping, but my favourite is December Will Be Magic Again by Kate Bush and really can't understand why that doesn't reappear in the chart every year!

C
Conor
you're right it is! Last year little mix blocked it with Sweet Melody st #9!
Blank
Some incredible stats to glean from this weeks chart. One that may not be obvious though, is that after over 40 years and 170 chart weeks Chris Rea equals his Singles career height and only 2nd week in the top 10. He has never had a single in the top 9!
C
Conor
I reckon The Motto is gonna do the same thing The Business did and do pretty decently! I also hope Shane Codd's It Ain't Right does alright in 2022!

oh and Avril Lavigne, I hope Bite Me goes back in

I could’ve sworn you said that ‘Traitor’ was your favourite song of the year the other day, but ‘Drivers License’ is an absolutely amazing choice too, haha. :)

but yeah, drivers license was close.

To be fair, they're all fairly close given that six of your 10/10's from last year are on 'Sour'! 😊

thanks! i’m glad i got the silk sonic album as it’s one of my favourite releases of the year, but it was 10.99 at hmv, which, imo, is too much for a 9-track album 😬

wild west is the first uk drill album to be added to my collection :)

It's not possible to do mine. I just bought over 50 CD Singles from the charity shop!
I'll be going back when they open next year as they have 3 times as many of the same sort of thing in the back office :-)

I predict a CD singles comeback in 2022. I've always been more into vinyl but I'm getting a little bit nostalgic for some CDs now.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
ooh nice! just as well, given that cd singles are starting to make a comeback :)
Damián
I hope CD singles come back as in the old good days
Damián
I'd be in Heaven if I could be in an HMV store for once in my life!!!! So lucky you areeee!!!. Woolworths is still open?

chaotic week next week! so many re entries. hopefully coming for you or abcdefu will be out first number 1 of 2022 - i really wanna see new acts at number 1.
anything but ed works i guess lol
rayever
i literally want abcdefu or (even though this literally is not happening) bed to get a reset and get to number 1
Piran
I think (& desperately hope) it's the latter, haha. :)
David N'jama
New music has to be released first
afrog
coming for you > abcdefu :(
don't like either nor much of the contenders apart from seventeen going under and overseas
Piran
I'm afraid I can only agree with you on 'Seventeen Going Under' on this occasion! :P
afrog
i like the sample for coming for you which i think helps lol, dont like the melody for abcdefu
Piran
I like the sample in 'Coming For You' too, but I really don't like how that sample's used. :/
⁉️
Coming For You next PLEASE. 😫
C
Conor
i reckon it'll be GAYLE for 2/3 weeks at least unless Peru does it, but i hope not
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
it got a remix (which, i think, is slightly better than the original), so there’s no way it isn’t going top 3 at least.
i hope it reaches number 1 though, it’s great
⁉️
I’d rather not have abcdefu at all, but it’ll probably get there unfortunately. :(
rayever
happy new year's eve everyone, hope 2022 goes well for all of you (even you frank)
rip the motto and my heart goes (la di da) though
edit: and also rip to money calling
Piran
They'll be back in next week, probably close to the Top 40. :)
afrog
next week they'll be back :D
afrog
Jinx :D
Piran
You beat me to it again! :P
afrog
teehee
Rob Parkinson
My heart goes, along with many other tracks will most likely get an ACR reset next week? Be a battle for no.1 for Gayle against Adele, Sam Fender and maybe even Ardee or Ed
Damián
Happy new year!!!
Piran
I’m fairly sure that Gayle has it in the bag. :)
GA
Gerardo Amador
That's so... The alphabet song should go to the top spot!!!!
Piran
Yeah, I think both the First Look & full chart update are confirming that too, even if I’d much prefer seeing ‘Seventeen Going Under’ at #1 instead! ;)
Piran
Sending you all the warmest wishes for 2022! ❤️
I hope it’s your best year yet & one that brings you some amazing memories. :)
David N'jama
Happy New year
C
Conor
you too!
Piran
You too. :)
Piran
Thank you! :D
Rob Parkinson
Happy new year Piran, have an amazing 2022!
Damián
Wish you a happy new year dear Piran!! Sending all my l9ve from Buenos Aires!!
Piran
You too, Dami. :)
Luis Gerardo Amador
Thanks Piran!! same wishes for you, keep strong in this new year!!! I die to see your stoplight judging on the charts!!!
Piran
You too, Rob. :)
Piran
They’ll hopefully be returning this Friday. :)
Damián
Thank u buddy!!!
GA
Gerardo Amador
Thanks Piran... Best warm wishes... Hope you travel more this year... and hope nobody breaks your heart, but mend it instead... Wish you happiness all the way in 2022!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Piran
Your kind words have made my day! The same wishes back to you. :)
Piran
Even the Christmas takeover couldn't kill off 'Good 4 U'! 😍
C
Conor
i hope it goes back to the top 40 next week
Piran
I have a feeling it will! There were only seven non-festive songs in this week's Top 40 anyway, so it's chance are looking fairly good for it to re-enter the region next week, haha. :)
Luis Gerardo Amador
I think "Good for you" is growing back to the top 40...so I think with "I wish", "Time after time", "Wherer are you now, "Heat Waves", and "Love Nwantiti" they all will be back to the top 20 some, and top 40 others...and Ed Sheeran will keep his 3 or 4 songs as well as Adele with the 3 that she already has...plus I have a feeling that Diana Ross will enter with at least 2 of her new songs: "The Answer's Always Love" and "I still believe", or "Count on me"
Piran
I think ‘Good 4 U’ will be back in next week’s Top 40 too! :D
Piran
Are you guys ready to see nearly all REs down the left-hand side next week? 😂
C
Conor
where do you think the highest re-entry will be? I reckon it will be Bad Habits at #9
Piran
Potentially, although wouldn't 'Overpass Graffiti', 'Peru' & 'Shivers' all potentially be above it? :P
afrog
peru wont count cos ed isnt the first artist
C
Conor
peru is credited to Fireboy DML so I think that'll help him get past the 3 song rule, same as how elton with Merry Christmas
Piran
Ah, I thought he was a co-lead artist on it! At least that what OCC says, haha. :)
C
Conor
I think they'll find away around the rule to accomodate for him having more sings in the chart haha
Piran
You'd think so, but look what happened with KSI a few weeks ago! :P
C
Conor
yeah wasnt ksi credited as co-lead on Don't play and still had 4 songs in the top 40?
Piran
Yeah, because I think he was featured on one of those songs! :P
C
Conor
i think it was Anne-Marie/KSI/DFA on it which helped him get around it, and i think it'll be the same for ed as Fireboy DML is credited before Ed on Peru
Piran
Same with JB back in the summer! :P
C
Conor
yeah. speaking of JB they did the same thing with Peru as with Despacito, crediting JB and now Ed when normally they don't credit the remix artist
Piran
I only just found out that the charting version was a remix! I thought it was an original with Ed on it all along, haha. :)
C
Conor
haha
⁉️
Even if he was a co-lead, the OCC only count the first artist listed towards the 3 songs rule. :)
S
SteveL
I wonder if 'Chasing Cars' will reappear? That seemed to be around forever!
Piran
Despite it being the most played song on the radio so far this century, it rarely appears in the singles chart nowadays thanks to ACR, so I doubt it’ll be re-entering in next week’s chart. :/
Piran
Really? So ‘Stay’ wouldn’t have counted towards JB’s tally? :O
K
Kiesling
I'm gonna count them 😂
Luis Gerardo Amador
I guess Gyalis will return to the top with ABDCEFU...and also Adele with Esay on me will be back to the top ten or at least the top 20 and I predict that the OCC will reconsider their 3 song rule to 4...it already happened with Elton this Chriistmas, he had 4 songs in the 100 singles list...
Piran
The three songs rule doesn’t seem to have changed at all, but you’re definitely right about ‘ABCDEFU’ as it was #1 in the First Look chart last night. :)
Piran
I think you’ll probably be counting for at least a few minutes, haha. :)
K
Kiesling
Let's see :)
Luis Gerardo Amador
Man!! yiou almost made it!! it re-entered at # 11....so close to your prediction!!
Luis Gerardo Amador
Our Guru!! They actually did!!! I so admire you, Piran!!!
Piran
Always appreciate your support, Luis. :)
Piran
, I was convinced that ‘Last Christmas’ was going to be #1 tonight. :/
Easily would’ve been with that poxy three letter rule beginning with A which I will not name!
C
Conor
I wish it was, how cool would it be for Last Christmas to start and end the year at #1!!!
Piran
I've looked into this & I honestly think it would be the first time that's ever happened in the singles chart! :O
C
Conor
it would be absolutely amazing, another record for George and Andrew!!
Piran
So close, yet so far. :/
GA
Gerardo Amador
I would've sworn that was the thing to be, Wham's Last Christmas at the top spot 😒
Piran
“Maybe next year”. :/
