I did notice one of the Christmas playlists on the front page of Spotify last week. I think a lot of people have no imagination and look to be told what to listen to.I often wonder how much of the streaming charts is actually what people want to listen to and how much is just the people in charge of the playlist for shops playing generic playlists on a loop. Surely nobody's hammering the festive classics by choice just yet.
Who the fuck is listening to Xmas songs in bonfire night week. Knowing there is still two months to come of the SAME BORING DIRGE WE'VE HEARD EVERY BLOODY YEAR FOR MILLENNIA.
Disconnect their electricity on public nuisance grounds.
To be fair it is mainly just Mariah and Wham, with any other Xmas songs being much lower currently - so it sort of indicates it’s not yet playlists dominating but people actively seeking out these two tracks on their own merit. Far too early anyway, but from the week after next it’ll be back to four weeks of charts based on the order of the Spotify Xmas playlist![]()
Who usually gets a look in on that apart from the usual suspects? Lets hope for Cher this year!
That's bizarre, and reeks of manipulation. It'll need to be resolved in a couple of weeks, or at least be plain for all to see.I’m not sure what the go is with her, but I think this year her streams are currently being counted with other Xmas songs and thus excluded on Spotify - something to do with White Christmas taking all the streams… it’s very weird.
