The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Mariah Carey finally manages to climb to no.1 with “AIWFCIY” on my chart after missing out for the past 4 years and in doing so, knocks off The Pogues “Fairytale of New York” down to no.2. The whole top 20 is dominated by Xmas singles and soundtrack tunes. It makes for a very interesting chart next week when potentially the whole top 20 could drop out of the chart with the whole chart climbing post x-mas and look out for loads of re-entries.

Tate McRae holds onto the album top spot with “think later” for a third consecutive week at no.1.

Longest chart runners:

1. The Pogues - Fairytale of New York (20 non consecutive weeks)

= Mariah Carey - All I want for Xmas is you (20 non consecutive weeks)

3. Gabrielle Aplin - The Power of Love (17 non consecutive weeks)
