[Music] Christmas Number 1 2023

[Kinky Gerbil]

They've had 5 Christmas Number 1s and all they've raised is £305,000? I think that tells you a lot about how few singles get sold these days and how few people give a shit about the charts.

With that attitude its no wonder why they have not sold many.

You are basically kicking sick children

Sady despite a clamour from the general public Ladbaby confirmed yesterday he will NOT be releasing a single that would have inevitably led to a SIXTH number one at Christmas. Also sad to see the hotly tipped Lorraine's Check and Change Choir has flopped badly and seems a non runner for the coveted Xmas number one slot. Odds now:

The Pogues 4/6
The Beatles 13/2
Wham! 7/1
Slade 15/2
AC/DC 19/2
Mariah Carey 21/2
Sam Ryder 11/1

So Wham it is
I thought the Pogues would be nailed on....

It's 40 years old ffs.

If that happened back in 1984, we would still be buying Vera Lynn records.

What is WRONG with people.

Music is shit.

Well up until today it was the biggest selling No2 of all time

It was Number 1 at New Year in 2021. And again on 16 Dec 2022 and 30 Dec 2022 - just dropping out for 'Christmas Week'.

I only half like one Christmas song that east 17 number and I’m not sure it’s even a Christmas song.

People were still buying Bing Crosby’s White Christmas so not a true comparison.

Great news.

Bought it the first time around…..

I believe all royalties for Last Christmas still go to Band Aid.
Wham made the desicion when they were No2 to Band Aid first time out.
Meanwhile a Ferrari owned by Chris Rea is up for sale. Funnily it had no radio.

I believe that honour has now passed to Bruno Fernandes

Looks pretty wide open for the coveted Christmas number one slot this year. Despite LadBaby saying last year they were retiring from future Christmas Number One races after a record breaking 6th number 1, if the rumours are true and thr British publics desperate attempts to make them change their mind then 8/11 looks outstanding value to me.

• LadBaby - 8/11
• Lorraine's Check & Change Choir 7/5
• Cliff Richard 3/1
• Adele - 6/1
• Ed Sheeran - 6/1
• Sidemen - 6/1
• Taylor Swift - 6/1
• Lulu 13/2
• JVKE - 8/1
• Slade - 8/1
• The Beatles - 8/1
• Janet Jackson 17/2
• Lewis Capaldi - 10/1
• Baha Men - 10/1

Just shows the bookies know f*** all
