Another Christmas and the OCC's lack in interest in tidying up its data re chart peaks and WOC makes these stats completely meaningless.  How difficult is - at least the obvious ones like John & Yoko and Wizzard.

How long has it been since the Christmas #1 wasn't a Christmas song? The last one I remember was rockabye by clean bandit 2016 I think

Here's my top 20 for the week:

1. Fastlove - George Michael 

2. I Die: You Die - Gary Numan

3. I Dream Of Wires - Gary Numan

4. Remind Me To Smile - Gary Numan 

5. I'm An Agent - Gary Numan 

6. Remember I Was Vapour - Gary Numan

7. Don't Marry Her - The Beautiful South

8. We Are Glass - Gary Numan

9. Don't Go - Yazoo

10. Mirror Man - The Human League

11. Music For Chameleons - Gary Numan 

12. Goodbye 70s - Yazoo

13. The Look Of Love - ABC

14. Filmstar - Suede

15. Padam Padam - Kylie Minogue 

16. Love In The First Degree - Bananarama 

17. Haemoglobin - Placebo

18. Say You'll Be There - Spice Girls 

19. Only You - Yazoo

20. Heart - Pet Shop Boys 

Get queen kylie into the top 40

I've given up all hope of Fairytale of New York ever getting to No.1, but I still think it's only a matter of time before Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree does it. Maybe not for the Christmas week though, we are forever doomed to have that dirge there.

I actually really like olivia dean 

It's the most boring time of year - chartwise. The same rubbish as every year strikes back.

So we’re at that time of year when both Mr Brightside and Iris disappear from the Top 100, only to return in January once the Christmas songs are gone.

And talking of Christmas songs, it’s not even December yet and Last Christmas is already in the Top 10. Christmas really does get earlier every year!

Isn’t I Run AI ?? Why is it charting

Tbh One More Sleep is one of my favourite Christmas songs hope it rises

Fantastic to see WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! up to the runner up spot! Hoping it doesn’t pull a Prada and can actually hit the top spot eventually. But the main story is the extremely welcome return to the top 40 for Lush Life!! One of my favourite songs of all time and I could not be happier to see it back :)

Fantastic to see ‘Chanel’ climb up the chart! Hopefully it can become another hit for Tyla in the new year.

Between ‘Push 2 Start’, ‘Talk To Me’ and now this, I’ve been really impressed with her music in 2025. She deserves to be a bigger artist. :)

Sigh. Just because ‘I Run’ doesn’t have AI vocals anymore, doesn’t mean we have to give it a second wind. The song isn’t even that good anyway.

Not impressed that ‘Century’ is in the Top 10 either. Easily my least favourite of the three EsDeeKid entries.

For anyone wondering, ‘Lush Life’ is back in the Top 40 because it’s going viral thanks to Zara Larsson’s tour.

It was one of my favourite pop hits of 2016 so very pleased to see it make a resurgence!

‘The Fate Of Ophelia’ ties ‘Anti-Hero’ as Taylor’s longest-running UK #1 single. That being said, it’s off on ACR if it declines again.

It looks like either ‘Where Is My Husband!’ or ‘So Easy’ is going to be the next non-holiday song to get there. I like both of them but I’m still supporting the former.
