The Biggest Songs Of The Week

As we approach the week of Christmas, The Pogues once again return to no.1 at Christmas for a 6^th non consecutive week. Mariah Carey has to settle for no.2. In total, the first 17 consecutive songs on the top 40 are festive themed. It means that last week’s no.1 by Jade slips down to no.18 for one of the biggest drops from the no.1 spot this year. However, “Church” will be in pole position to possibly challenge for and reclaim the no.1 next week. Jade’s album remains at no.1 for a 3^rd non consecutive week.

Longest chart runners:

1. The Pogues ft. featuring Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York - 28 weeks

2. Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You - 28 weeks
