I have heard Mariah might be releasing a Christmas album and I want to do my part in helping it get christmas no.1 album this year But I'm a bit confused. When do people have to buy the album in order for it to be a contender for a Christmas No.1? Would it be Christmas Week? And when is the christmas no.1 album announced. I'm really confused so please do tell me!
Thank You

Christmas Day is on a Saturday. So you'd have to buy it anytime from Sunday the 12th to Saturday the 18th, in order for it to chart on Sunday the 19th.

oh okay, but what about the 25th of December? I thought people would have to buy it fromt the 18th to the 25th? So am I right in saying, people would go out it and buy it from the
12th of December to the 18th of December?

Yeah, you need to buy it between the 12th and the 18th.

For example, Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars is the best-selling song at the moment, however, it is Forget You by Cee-Lo Green which is #1, because it was the best-selling song during the previous week.

So, to be Christmas #1, you need to sell the most copies the previous week, and the sales weeks for the charts begin on Sunday, and end on Saturday.
