Last Christmas by WHAM! is up 2 to 3. That has now spent 75 weeks on the chart.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:46

All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey is up 6 to 2. That has now spent 121 weeks on the chart. llama

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:47

And that means the brand new Number One on this week's UK singles chart is River by Ellie Goulding which has moved up 10 places to claim the top spot, despite not having the word "Christmas" in its title.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:48

There is no trace of sausage rolls in the top 40.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:48

Has it managed the magnificent feat of being a Number One that has spent just one week on the chart? dontpanic

Arga range against the Machine (on the Sony label, which incidentally was the same record company who brought out the X-factor winner single) dropped down to 40.

Hang on, it dropped from 1 to 2, then down to 40.

Me neither. bawl

Now for the album chart.

I suspect it will be a lot less busy than the singles chart.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:55

Abbey Road is back in at 38. It has now racked up 211 weeks on the chart. box

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:57

And that means that You're In My Heart by Rod Stewart is still Number One on the UK album chart. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 16:57

You have to hand it to Rod. He's the only one I can think of of his generation who can still spend a month at the top of the album chart.

Paul McCartney?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 18:19

His last album only got to Number Three here and only spent one week at Number One in America. bawl

by Guest Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 18:24

Oh, I misread the 3 as being at number one for err... Never mind.

by Guest Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 18:35

The last Elton John album only went to number 6. The last Leonard Cohen album went to number 7.

by Guest Sun 29 Dec 2019 - 18:40
