[Music] Christmas Number 1 2023

[crodonilson]

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

To be fair, there hasn't been a lot to talk about football-wise recently...

Ladbaby for 5 in a row. Buying money

They've already had 5 and broken the record (and raised a cool £305,000 for charity in the process), they're now going for an astonishing sixth.

2018	"We Built This City"	1​	​
2019	"I Love Sausage Rolls"	1​
2020	"Don't Stop Me Eatin'"	1​
2021	"Sausage Rolls for Everyone" ft. Ed Sheeran and Elton John[40][nb 10]	1​
2022	"Food Aid" [4]	1​

Crodo-aside, does anyone really care about this 'tradition' anymore?

Worth reading up on him,, he's done some tremendous work for charity and built up over 1 million subscribers to his youtube channel. He and his wife are hugely popular, hence why they have managed to secure a record breaking 5 consecutive xmas number ones despite little musical background previously.

Just found out that the new "ignore thread" function includes to option to ignore all threads by the o/p. Result!!

Oh, hang on. How am I going to cope without knowing about Strictly and I'm A Celebrity?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Ladybaby are shite.
Why people are not intelligent enough to donate their money to charities of their choice throughout the year is beyond me.

 

[Randy McNob]

What about the Beatles track? That'll be up there shirley?

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.

Or they built a swimming pool with the proceeds

We need a 2009 style campaign to stop the self serving parasites that are Ladbaby from making it 6 in a row. I nominate So What by Anti Nowhere League which sums up the general feeling towards these so-called do-gooders.

So what if you've raised £300k for charity in the last few years when your personal wealth has risen from £70k to well over a million in the same time.

I am behind this.

They are absolute frauds. Can’t believe people fall for it year after year.

I always used to be interested in the Christmas chart in particular, but when the Simon Cowell machine started taking over 20 or so years so, it became a bit of a farce.
Streaming gives the chart a more realistic view of popularity to a point, but it’s daft when an act releases an album, and the following week the songs from that album end up making up most of the top ten ‘singles’.

Great news for music lovers everywhere.

LadBaby pull out of Christmas number one single race​

"We wanted to pass the baton over," Mark and Roxanne Hoyle said, announcing the news on Instagram.
