Xmas number 1 (1 Viewer)

Tom urging all Sky Blues fans to support him. In a 3 way fight out of him Wham and Mariah Carey.

Cone on people… let’s have something new at number 1. Get behind Tom Grennan now that he’s disowned Man Utd.

I just need to check that it’s available on a 45!!

Literally no idea how the chart works now? Can't go to Wollies and buy a 99p single cassette.

I assume it's downloads and possibly streams? But there are loads of different services so feck knows how that's figured out.

Not my bag but Grenan seems a nice enough lad, can't see it on Spotify but I'd give it a listen of I knew where counts

Chart? I think you mean "hit parade."

No idea how you download things, so I am going to wait until it's out at Jill Hanson's.

Good luck, pop pickers.

Think it lost its appeal when there is some gimp singing about sausage rolls at number 1.

What song is he promoting??

 

[chiefdave]

The radio is on at work and they've just played it. Think its the first song of his I've heard, are they all this bad?

Not heard Last Christmas yet this year, playing Whamageddon best I've ever managed. Still don't think I'll get to Christmas Day, but happy at a strong effort

surges might be a slight over exaggeration, it was number 37

It's No1 for a second week in the Official Singles Downloads Chart (whatever that is?)

It's a chart that often gets targeted by 'protest' tracks like this, same with the sales chart. They're both fairly easy to manipulate as they are counting formats hardly anyone uses anymore.

The Download chart only counts paid for downloads from non-subscription services. So basically you have to use a store that lets you pay more than 40p (I think that's the threshold) to download an audio file.

Obviously most people subscribe to Spotify, Apple Music or similar and it doesn't count those.
