Jesus, they must be getting STREAMS

 

So happy for Raye, not too shabby only having two massive christmas songs and Taylor above you

 

[AidanUnderYou]

Only 350 units separate the entire Top 4, praying Raye can snatch a week at #1 before Christmas takeover makes it impossible. I think she might go #1 after Christmas anyway but you never know.

GP is consuming more Christmas music as ever before. Jesus

Quote

Mariah Carey leads the Official Singles Chart Number 1 race at the midweek mark, with "All I Want for Christmas is You" currently tracking for the top spot. But it’s by no means a done deal, as another festive staple sits less than 300 chart units behind the Queen of Christmas.

Wham!'s "Last Christmas" eyes a lift to Number 2, currently just 50 chart units ahead of Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" at Number 3. Could "Anti-Hero"'s reign come to an end on Friday following its six-week stint at Number 1?
