Yes, I did think what with X Factor somewhat out of the question for No. 1 that there'd be more of a push for the charity singles but none of them troubled the top 40 in the end. Only one song which aimed for the Xmas No. 1 did that and that was The Dave Clark Five (although considerably more successful in Scotland). They're changing the streaming ratio next year so it'll be interesting to see what that does.
In an effort to get back on topic... I saw a trailer for The Lion King during The Chase today. Channel 4 have moved The Last Leg to 9pm tonight, good move I think. I am worried they will run this show into the ground next year but hopefully they won't. Then again, we saw what they did with Million Pound Drop... Ch4 and running programming into the ground is a match made in heaven. |

I understand what the original point you were making was, that the winners single isn't as huge as it once was. I don't think Simon (or Syco for that matter) will be disappointed though as Little Mix, James Arthur and Louis Tomlinson were also in the top 10 in the singles chart. Little Mix and Olly Murs were in the top 10 in the albums as well.
Curiously the only act that Syco took was HoneyG. |

The Chase doing consistently well. Do we know what the highest daytime ratings for both The Chase and Pointless are?
I'm sure Pointless hit 4.5m for the Children in Need special in 2013 - ITV were showing The Paul O Grady Show at the time. The Chase got 4.3m in January 2013 when we had snow. I'm not sure if either have been any higher than that recently. Quote:

Christmas predictions then? I still haven't placed a bet because I keep changing my mind lol
Personally I think it will be Bake Off vs. Frozen! Mrs Brown's Boys is on quite late this year, so I can't see it topping the night. In fact I'll be bold and do a top 10 prediction: 01. Bake Off - 7.4m 02. Frozen - 7.2m 03. Mrs Brown's Boys - 6.2m 04. Corrie - 6m 05. Strictly - 6m [I think they'll be very close, could be the other way round] 06. Eastenders - 5.7m 07. Call The Midwife - 5.6m 08. Doctor Who - 5.6m 09. Emmerdale - 5.5m 10. Maigret - 5.1m |

Thanks for all the entries so far! Almost everyone going the same with #4 and #7 though - oops, may have messed up there. Did try to make it as challenging as possible. ![]() Quote:

Its going to be a very exciting time for ratings. I do love this time, we are all waiting on the 25th December at 9.32am......waiting for that first rating, which will decide how this Christmas TV week will shape up.

I can't really see Blankety Blank doing all that much at all. I suspect it'll get lost at that time on ITV.
And given Pointless got 3.9m last year in a 7pm slot, Blankety Blank has no chance. Should have kept it on Christmas Day, or Boxing Day in between episodes of Corrie. 6.30pm Emmerdale 7pm Coronation Street 7.30pm Blankety Blank 8.30pm Coronation Street 9pm Captain Phillips Would have at least stregthened Boxing Day a bit more, and given it a better slot. Still....a bit late now. |

Five of the current top 10 are XF acts and Clean Bandit were one of the duets in the Final. The recent dominance of the XF on the charts has been pretty extreme.

Not really. Which was kind of the point being made by others.
It's the reverse of adding DVD sales to the BARB ratings. |

When I think of some of the acts I liked in the 2000s, who had moderate Top 40 success, I don't think they'd have had Top 40 singles if the charts had been compiled the way they are now.
It's the reverse of adding DVD sales to the BARB ratings. But then we only had snippets of music on TV in those days and now they have it all so... progress I suppose. |
