Official Singles Chart Top 40

hey everyone,

i’m gonna vastly reduce my posting here. i just don’t really see the need to post as much anymore. i’m working now, ive been more dedicated to drawing mini-comics as a hobby, and have lost interest in the charts, so me posting less here was bound to happen. besides, ive just walked in and there’s arguments and rude people everywhere - i cannot deal with that week-on-week. from here on, no more 12 recommendations, and no more frequency in posting here. maybe i’ll pop my head in and say hi every once in a while, but from now on i just wanna reduce my social media presence to just my art and comics and avoid the chaos (especially as this is a website that is hanging on for dear life on my phone).

so, goodbye…ish.

EXPLANATIONS

TV Show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' brought a lot of debuts this week! 2 songs by McFly enter the top 25 after member Danny Jones emerged victorious from the competition. I won't bother explaining the debuts in the bubbling under, as all of them besides 'Ma Meillure Ennemie' were influenced by the show.

OCC still can't tell the difference between Elvis and Michael Buble.

We need Springsteen Santa Claus is comin to town in the charts next week

i know loads of people see it as overrated but i totally prefer all i want for christmas is you to any other christmas song. i hope she bags another #1 week this year (way better than last christmas sorry!)

ceechynaa's well deserved first chart entry makes it a great week in my eyes, really hope she gets a stint in the top 40 at some point and radio 1 have to play a clean version where half the song will be muted😭😭

Despite me downloading and playing nearly 3 hours worth of Christmas songs each day at work, none appear in my most recently played at random list. This week it includes my favourite song of all time ( i won't say what and there are no prizes for guessing ).

1: California dreamin'                                     THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS

2: Victim of love                                              ERASURE

3: Video killed the radio star                          BUGGLES

4: Wish i                                                            JEM

5: Relax, take it easy                                        MIKA

6: Shame                                                           EURYTHMICS

7: Love will save the day                                 WHITNEY HOUSTON

8: Block rockin' beats                                      CHEMICAL BROTHERS

8. Becky Hill - Forever Young (=)
9. Jorja Smith - Stay Another Day (+3)
10. Andy C & Becky Hill - Indestructible (+5)***

* Breaks the record for the biggest jump to #1 in history and becomes Ella’s 11th credited #1 and 10th of this decade alone (if you add Lighter that would be 12 & 11 respectively), also making her have at least 1 #1 for every year of the 2020s so far!
** Spotify wrapped boost
*** Spotify wrapped boost + performed on Strictly

I'm sure Wham only get to No.1 because it is nearly always the first song that comes on when you ask Alexa to play Christmas music, there can't be that many people wanting to feel depressed before Christmas!

Who the h*ll is listening to 'Peggy'

KELLY FINALLY TOP 10 I AM SCREAMING

Not impressed that ‘It Can’t Be Christmas’ took such a big jump. I’m sorry, but for as much like most of Tom’s music and especially his personality, his vocals sound horrible here.

‘One More Sleep’ is my favourite of the festive returns to the Top 40 this week! Meanwhile, ‘A Nonsense Christmas’ has surpassed the peak of the original ‘Nonsense’.

I don’t think it’ll happen, but I’d love to see ‘DJ Play A Christmas Song’ back in the region later in the month. The production on it is timeless and the key change gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it! ❤️

‘Toxic Till The End’ is being pushed as the next single from Rosé’s debut solo album. It actually would’ve got a decent debut if not for Christmas so hoping it can become another hit for her in the New Year!

Would highly recommend the entire album though! She definitely has the qualities to prove that she can make it big as a popstar. :)

It finally happened… 11 years after release, ‘Underneath The Tree’ becomes a Top 10 hit in the UK at last!

It’s grown on me every holiday season to the point where it’s become one of my favourite modern Christmas songs! I absolutely love Kelly’s vocals, especially the power notes she hits in the final hook.

So happy for her! 😊
