The Biggest Songs Of The Week!

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl do it again by getting the Xmas no.1 for a second successive year with "Fairytale of New York"! Just like last year, Mariah Carey ends up settling for the runner up spot at no.2 with "AIWFCIY". In total, there are 24 Xmas themed songs or singles that previously did well during Xmas that end up on this weeks top 40. There are impressive top 5 debuts (considering its a Xmas week) for Aaliyah ft The Weeknd and FKA Twigs ft The Weekend. On the album chart, Sam Fender impressively retakes the no.1 spot ahead of Adele with "Seventeen Going Under". It is unlear if any new singles will be out this Friday (traditionally a very quiet week for new single releases). Expect the Xmas songs to continue to dominate over the next few days so they could still impact on next weeks chart but otherwise The Weeknd may be a contender for getting another 1 as he is featured on both singles from Aaliyah and FKA twigs. There could be several re-entries next week and even more as we move past the new year.

My chart of the year should be out just before the end of the year too...

What the top 10 singles would have looked like if it was not Xmas....

1. Aaliyah ft The Weeknd - Poison

2. FKA twigs ft The Weeknd - Tears In The Club

3. Sam Fender - The Dying Light

4. Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under

5. Adele - Easy On Me

6. Ariana Grande/ Kid Cudi - Just Look up

Hi Zack!
Great to see "Fairytale Of New York" as your christmas #1, as well as the big gains, debuts and returns for the christmas songs.
Interesting to see that "Poison" would've been your Christmas #1 if it wasn't for the christmas songs.
Great chart as always and merry christmas to you!

Good things interesting to see the Pogues for a second time good NICE that Mariah Carey contends for a second year .im glad you supporting aaliyah i didn't feel it myself .like the xmas by Band Aid and Wham being one of the xmas songs in the top 10.Outside the top 10 like seeing Ed Sheeran xmas song too.Nice moves by Brenda Lee and Kelly CLARKSON.Im happy to see REENTRY of One More Sleep that's has a British sound of Xmas .Can't wait to see what you have been having on repeat this year.
