Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 15/12/2023

Fisherman's Friends 'I Saw Three Ships' for number one

Is it too late for "Christmas Number One" by James Farrant, to take the top spot?! Ah!!!..always next year!

So, we're supposed to accept that "Proper Christmas" by the Krackpots is Number 1 in the Downloads chart and Number 2 in the Sales chart, but somehow that's not enough to get it a position in the 'top 100'?

The Official UK Charts Company needs to take a good look at their weighting system, because it sure looks broken to me!

My names noah and u really want stick season by noah kazan too get number 1 1. Isint it crazy that's it'd got more streams than all i want for christmas is you in december 2. I dont think a noah has ever got no.1

Top 10 songs mostly all Xmas songs and about LOVE cos after all it is the season. Pity that the animal eaters who think this day is so wonderful and find it such a happy event are too stupid to see it is a day of murder and blood  shed where weeks/months before this so called "special day" millions of animals are killed in such a horrible way simply because these fools want to eat the traditional turkey or whatever animal is to their liking. This day is actually the worse ever for animals. Enjoy your special day and with each bite remember the animal was butchered because of your support. You called this a day of love and I call it a day of HATE.

glad people are finally seeming to realise stay another day is not a christmas song, now we wait for the same with stop the cavalry

Yes!!!  rooting for Cher at # 41, on the verge of Top 40!!!  I love Cher and I love "DJ Play a Christmas Song.!!!

Over the moon to finally see BADDADAN dropping 35 places this week!! AWFUL SONG!!

Hope to see after Xmas TEDDY SWIMS getting his first Top 40 with the brilliant LOSE CONTROL!!

So happy the single reached number 1 in BELGIUM!!

Still no MIMI WEBB in the Top 100 this week!!

Her brand new Xmas song is sooooo good and i still cannot believe her last 3 songs didn't even make the Top 100: so unfair!!

NAT KING COLE have released so many great Xmas songs but never really shined with any of them in Europe..Glad to see him having more success in the US at least!!

THE CHRISTMAS SONG is easily in my favorite Top 5 Xmas song of all time!!

CHER was so close to make the Top 40 this week!! 

DJ PLAY A CHRISTMAS SONG is such a brilliant track and really hope to break the Top 40 next week!!

LEONA LEWIS's "one more sleep" should have made the Top 20 by now...love that song and shame the single never reached the Top 5 after its first release years ago!!

Did expect SAM RYDER to easily make the Top 5 this week as it was at number 4 mid week!!

Hopefully next week....

With so many Xmas songs making the Top 40 this week, really didn't expect the brilliant NOAH bouncing back this week so glad he did!!

He may even have the chance to reach the number 1 spot after Xmas?!

As much as i am happy to see LAST CHRISTMAS at number 1 again this week, i really wanted FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK to finally reach the Top spot!!

So long overdue but at least the single reached the number 1 spot in Ireland last week!!

is it me or Xmas songs are already losing their strength ?

Noah Kahan was a very big surprise for me, what was with the sudden increase on Spotify? 

A God awful No.1 again, I don't think I can stomach it being Christmas No.1, still keeping my fingers firmly crossed for FoNY. Even Mariah would be preferable.

Even if I liked her debut a lot more, Tate McRae’s new album is decent and it’s amazing that she’s finally getting a lot more mainstream recognition! 

‘Greedy’ back in the Top 10 is fine, but good to see ‘Exes’ with a big rebound since it’s definitely a grower! Also happy to see ‘Run For The Hills’ here as it’s among my highlights of the album. :)

Shame Cher missed the Top 40 this week, hope she’s in it next week.

If ‘DJ Play A Christmas Song’ does get there, she’ll become the first artist ever to chart a new song in the region in seven consecutive decades! 

Why do OCC have Bublé as the image for Elvis’ ‘Blue Christmas’? 😭

Since it’s one week from today until this year’s Christmas Number 1 is announced, what do you all want it to be?

I’d love to see ‘Fairytale Of New York’ finally make it to the top of the chart with the vinyl copies of it now released. I think it should definitely have at least a week at the summit given how much of a festive classic it is. Would be a very fitting tribute to Shane too! ❤️
