Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 24/12/2021

Maybe they all went on Christmas break. 😀

Same here on my laptop.

, guess it’s broken for all of us then. 😩

It is, unfortunately...

I think so...that´s what I expect!!

i hope so, abcdefu is so good. 😻

we definitely need new artists at number 1 as well, i’m sick of seeing big names at the top.

Nah, it’ll be Coming For You hopefully. 😍

No, she'll be the 2nd but first new #1. Ed/Elton is the first #1 of the yeat.

yeah, it reached number 1 in 1978.

don’t know why occ got it wrong 😑

Yes, there's several of the classic Christmas songs on this page that aren't attached to their initial chart runs, some for no good reason.

In Boney M's case, it's because the original 1978 chart entry is wrongly listed as just Mary's Boy Child. The modern chart runs are combined under an entry more correctly given as Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord. (Chart books like the Guinness British Hit Singles would in fact list it as Mary's Boy Child–Oh My Lord – it's a medley, not a double A-side.) But as a result, the system doesn't recognise it as being the same hit.

Thank you for the clarification!
Hope you have a Happy New Year! :)

My pleasure!

A Happy New Year to you too :)

And four singles on this week's chart. I doubt he achieved either of these feats during his 1970s creative peak.

Totally agree....neither in America did he ever get 4 songs in a weekly hot 100 chart....great observation, John

How was that amazing? Elton John should've had 3 No. 2 singles this year not No. 1, only because Ed Sheeran & Dua Lipa were in there!

You probably are right...but he did it anyway!! and he is not any young anymore...I think it was his last chance to be so present in the charts...don´t expect to see Elton that often, or at all in 2022...there are more chances to see the Spice girls in a comeback this new year...

Not a fan but it's very good song... should be higher

I noticed that nosedive surprisingly too!!

yeah, it went on acr too, plus the christmas takeover certainly didn’t help 😂

Yes, he got the # 3 spot!!

Keep an eye on the new chart this week Thierry, I think we might still see a few last-minute boosts for the festive hits as the massive number of streams on Christmas Day itself will have an impact on this evening's chart – even if nobody streamed or downloaded them at all for the rest of the week!

hi velvetandroid! thank you so much for the info. much appreciated! have a great evening and of course HA[[Y NEW YEAR 2022 in advance.

Thanks Thierry!!! The same to you!! 🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄🎁🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄

Totally agree it's shocking

"All i want for Chirstmas" is one of the best ever Xmas song ever released!! hello!! where have you been??!! So happy to see Mariah back at number 1 in the official USA chart: so deserved it!

Merry Xmas Aaron. Hope you are having a great time. Happy New year to you too...

Thank you :)

True, I hate Engl*nd. 🤢

So happy to see Joel Corry with multiple Top 10 entries. :)

he does quite a bit on my chart, there was once where out out, bed and head & heart were all in the top 10 at once 👀

Woah, that's impressive! :O

'Head & Heart' actually made chart history for me not long ago by becoming the first ever song to appear in Year-End Top 10 in consecutive years.

It spent nine non-consecutive weeks at #1 for me in the summer of 2020!

oh wow, head & heart spent 17 non-consecutive weeks at number 1 on my personal chart and placed at number 5 on this year’s end of year chart (falling from number 1) and BED has a total of 18 non-consecutive weeks at number 1 on my chart and is number one on this years end of year list

this is also the second number 1 of the year and in total for Elton (cold heart being the first) and the very first for Ed Sheeran

Woah, you're effectively a Joel Corry stan at this point! :P

dont think we've ever spoke before but i love h&h :D head & heart spent 10 weeks at #1 for me last year, its 3rd week it was knocked off by Lighter but climbed back the next week, it was my #1 of 2020 and my #11 of 2021, and only recently dropped out my chart :D

head & heart only just reached an all time low on my chart this week (50) and has dropped out twice (I have a recurrency rule on my chart) also lighter had 2 non consecutive weeks at number 1 for me, replacing head & heart the first time and replacing secrets the second time

literally 😭

ahh nice :D i could probably do with a recurrency rule seen as kiss me more, industry baby, lighter, looking for me, head & heart and others have spent months in my top 10 lol

Hey, I can definitely relate. :)

And also "Cold Heart" was Dua Lipa´s only # 1 this year,,,I think "Levitating" deserved at least 1 week atop the chart...

1973: Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
1979: Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall Part. 2
2002: Girls Aloud - Sound Of The Underground
2009: Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name

Don’t really care for any others. 💀

not fadbaby 🤭

At least we share 'Sound Of The Underground' in our choices. :)

I gathered that! :P

anyone but ladbaby

Favourite for the pure fun: 1993 Mr Blobby
Favourites #1s about Christmas: 1985 Shaky, 1988 Saviours Day / 1990 Mistletoe And Wine
(mostly due to first hand memories of them going to #1 and the tree in the school hall)

Favourites for chart stats: Spice Girls 1996-98

1963: Beatles - I want to hold your hand
1970: Dave Edmunds - I hear you knocking
1973: Slade - Merry Xmas everybody
1975/1991: Queen - Bohemian rhapsody
1979: Pink Floyd - Another brick in the wall
1981: Human League - Don't you want me
1984/1989/2004: Band Aids - Do they know its Xmas
1987: Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind
1994: East 17 - Stay another day
2017: Ed Sheehan - Perfect

Amazing to see almost every decade represented here. :)

I love the shoutouts for 'Merry Christmas Everyone' & 'Mistletoe & Wine' in particular. :)

I appreciate what he's trying to do for charity, but his songs aren't good at all. :/

anyways real talk lol, my favourite christmas number ones would have to be do they know it’s christmas, mad world, another brick in the wall, when a child is born, sound of the underground, always on my mind, i will always love you, and every beatles topper :)

Amazing choices, especially Band Aid, Girls Aloud & Whitney Houston. :)

he's just using charity as an excuse at this point. he's a tory as well so he's the reason the food banks exist in the first place

you’ve put mistletoe and wine and saviours day in the wrong years. mistletoe and wine was 88, saviours day was 90.

i was literally just about to say that.

I mean, there’d obviously still be food banks no matter which party got in, but they’d probably be far less than the number we have now. :/

I always get those 2 mixed up. Very similar memories for both. So much that I can barely tell them apart!

we ain’t had an active new member in ages lol

But the server itself is still very much active 😊

erm shivers exists

It isn’t great, but it’s nowhere near the worst. 😫

3 Lions, Head & Heart, Dance Monkey, 7 Years and a lot more are right there.

Agree with you! OMG, still can't believe it! Anyway Merry Xmas Coolocelot101! hope you are having a nice week end.

merry christmas thierry! hope you’re having a great one :))

eh, it’s down there, but sausage rolls for everyone is much worse just sayin

agreed that head and heart is awful, but it’s not near the worst imo.

dance monkey and 7 years though, can get in the bin.

No Good 4 u

Because it's going under. 18 is under 17 :-)

Remember when that happened with MK a few years ago??

🍗🥩😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ah, '17' by MK is a forgotten banger! 😍

Hmm, very good point, haha. :)

😂😂😂

Thank you :) you too

Thank you, Piran!!! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, hoping you had a blast of a celebration last night, I did!!! The top spot was predicted by you and the others, I really thought it was going to be "Last Christmas" but failed... One more week to see the new year's first new number one, which I expect ABCDEFU to be it!! Thanks for your great taste in music!!! 🎄🎁🎁☃️🎄🎁🎁🎄☃️🎄🎁🎄☃️🎄🎁🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄

Merry, merry Christmas to you Piran, to your family, and all the family of Disqus chart char!!!

Thanks, Dami! I hope you had an amazing weekend too. :)

You're welcome, Gerardo! Best wishes to you for 2022. :)

Did you have a nice time over the Christmas weekend? :)

😊😊

I did! Thanks! Hope you had as well :)

Awesome! I did too, thanks for asking. :)

I get the impression that a lot of people have only brought Lad Baby's Saugage Rolls For Everyone cause of the charity.
I'm pleased that people are giving money to charity and that's brilliant.
My point is a lot of people could of given the money to the charity direct instead of buying a song they don't buy cause they liked it.
People like me who loves music and cares about the charts have to suffer with these awful songs that are not worthy No1's.
People can click a down arrow, but it's true.

facts and facts only. the only good thing to come out of it is the money the two of them are raising for food banks across the uk, but can’t they just do something else?! especially when sausage rolls for everyone is this sh*te.

plus, people could always just make a fair donation to the food banks themselves instead of wasting 99p on a song they won’t unironically listen to.

this is turning into the x factor situation at this point. i hope to god there’s another campaign to block ladbaby for next year’s christmas number 1 like 2009. we defeated x factor back then. we will do the same to ladbaby.

Totally agree with you.

Hey Electrix! :)

Amazing to see you back here after a few weeks.

I have to disagree with you on 'Merry Christmas' & 'ABCDEFU' as I actually really like those song now, but I'm totally with you on all of the other points about the new chart!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I still haven't heard it so I'm not gonna say it's a bad song, but the fact that it's a Ed + Elton collab does seem like an interesting combination 🤣

I honestly reacted in the exact same way that you did when I first heard about it, but it actually works better than you'd expect. :)

Oooh I might check it out later then 🤔

Stream Taylor first though! ;)

omigosh hiiii!! ^-^

haven’t seen u in ages mate, how have you been? :)

Oh hey, nice to see you. :)

How have you been?

Glad to see another abcdefu hater, although I do prefer it to Hold My Hand. 💀

also that you despise abcdefu~ 😬

Always 👌🤣

oh hey! btw I was macie I’m now jade lol

ikr 😭

Seriously though, enjoy yourself tomorrow. :)
