Xmas Number 1

lol
ladbaby is the master of sales, right till the last second
im not sure the other charities have that selling edge

How big media works, Bieber and NHS is a bigger story than LadBaby 3. Would they want to promote him over two NHS runners? He was the story last year.

i dont think they will have a choice tbh cider, hes a total pest
his agent will be all over it, they are itching for a jungle appearance...you get the feeling they are pushing hard for that

Best specials event of the year anyway, got a great position going in, feels like Xmas eve as a kid . Just got to not fook it up.

this is your event, great way for the FOTY to finish the year off

Definitely, there isn't anything like it for incorrect prices or dramatic changes usually. ICU massive gamble from 8-1 to odds on, now back out to 20/1. With XF no longer a factor, the event could have gone dead.

its always the big christmas event of the year

the clip of whatsherface crying has now had 740k views, ive tracked back loads and its the highest ive seen on there insta

And that was just the DMs asking if Mark is releasing another Xmas track.

the annoying thing is my profit is getting less with each one they win, and they will win
if they go again next year i'll be on 1p a post

Plus the trussle trust donation from your profits.

lol a tin of beans

Great start for sausage roll man.

Ladbaby 1.3 .....a week early ...the market has spoken

a lot of fun this morning for the early risers

Mariah doing well on streaming going into a likely humongous Xmas streaming week, so it's not quite game over just yet. No doubt LB will have a great lead after day 1.

Mariah 602K just on spotify for a Thursday, subject to acr of course.

Divide Mariah streams by 600 ....that will equal 1 ladbaby sale

there on CH4 at 12:30 stephs packed lunch

That's gotta be a big boost for them ...........

It can't be calculated accurately nowadays as 'premium' streams have more weighting than free streams. The 600K was the day before the ones that count. Nobody knows the streaming levels for the chart week coming, aside from that they are likely to be huge, maybe 5 million just on you tube for example. With LB's great start, he's moved further ahead but Mariah remains the nearest threat, for me.

cant wait to see what masterit makes of this, out of work and a red screen

simply watch the market for any moves then, thanks james

December 18th: And They're Off
James Masterton XmasNo1 18 December 2020
Let the games begin. As of now, we are officially inside the Christmas chart survey period. All sales and streams of singles in the UK from now until midnight on December 24th will count towards the Christmas chart. And on this blog I'll try to give as many updates as I can as to how the race is going.

One small procedural issue should be noted. Readers of this in previous years will know I've been able to post detailed updates on some of the numbers involved as the week unfolds, this thanks to contacts in the industry leaking them to me ahead of time. This time around thanks to my Music Week role I do myself have privileged access to that data, but this actually means I'm bound by confidentiality not to abuse that or break the strict embargos that exist around midweek information. So regrettably the only information I can recount is that which the Official Charts Company themselves have chosen to put in the public domain, although I will do my best to colour in any detail, expand on matters they are vague about and at the very least try to give any sensible analysis that is required.

Here's hoping for something resembling an actual race. The worst of all worlds is one single soaring into an unassailable lead and rendering all subsequent debate irrelevant.

You keep tossing them balls i'll keep batting them

cider, when does the midweek info arrive and when do we need to watch the market.
i could track back through old threads but the FOTY has a duty

thats my bear

Midweek

exact, i have OCD

quality showing on CH4, thats another 2 downloads hopefully

First Look is on Sunday. Two days downloads and mostly one day's streams. Though we had that aberration where one day of Amazon downloads were missing from the mids two years ago. Atm it's usually spotify and yt missing for the previous day.

thanks FOTY

Sausage roll man is topping the US iTunes chart.

lol thats a 1st ?

For him! Could make some news if he stays there for a while I suppose.

itv lunch news just ran the bieber/nhs story

thats the beeb and itv already played for them, usually ladbaby plays those cards late on when things slow up

LadBaby number 1 iTunes:

United States
United Kingdom
Australia
Canada
Cayman Islands
Denmark
Ireland
Malta
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Sweden

yes mate

jeeez, i guess that answers our earlier question whether the world is fed up of ladbaby's pastry's songs then.
thats a definite no, he's got more popular
all over

I wouldn't say I'm a fan but it seems there's a big market for his sort of unvarnished warts and all type of content. The 'every' man made good. It's obviously exaggerated but he doesn't take himself seriously. I was pretty skeptical that the enthusiasm would have carried through, but it has. It's obviously a factor that iTunes is dead otherwise

in at number 10

10   
The **** - Boris Johnson is a ****g C**t (Single Edit)

Get them added to the market! 15m? 20m? Labour/Lib Dem/SNP etc voters, how keen would they be to have it forever in the history books as a Christmas No 1! Any bit of a campaign at all, and it would ROMP this; what all round mischievous fun and festive cheer that would provide to a depressed world!

ALL OVER

80K in 2 days for LB

Ed sheeran got something out in morning

Matched at 7.0

win more on Ed, get them sheers out

ronan keating done a 2nd version with ladbaby, out tomorrow

where's the resident expert on this market then ? oi FOTY stop sucking apples and give a clue

can't see ladbaby holding on, after glow sounds great

LB 800,000 plays on youtube in 3 days

Ed 157,000 plays in 30mins

At least 1 of them yt views is a woman in Taiwan on a break from a 12 shift in McDonalds

im sure ladbaby will cry and beg down the internet to Ed today

what makes this track so poignant is it was written last year and he's held onto this long to release now at christmas.
his fans will love all that sh1te

Hey guys. Afterglow is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you. It’s not the first single from the next album, it’s just a song I love, and hope you love too. Enjoy ! Have a safe and happy festive break and New Year’s. Back to dad land for me now, ciao x
43m

you get the feeling he's one of many fed up with pasty christmas number ones

They will be global views army. UK has average 7% of the yt market, though one would expect it to be slightly slanted more than that ratio to the UK, he's a global artist.

thats poo then, get more idea from itunes uk then. until midweek data released

yes the downloads will be more indicative. a theoretical race with Ed provides more incentive for the LB troops

Taken my Ladbaby green and moved into ON Ed. He romps this. Great song, and well.. It's Ed

"he came back when the world needed him most"

Ladbaby has had a 3 day headstart

His Single was released last Friday ...it has already sold 80,000 - 90,000 copies

Ed Sheerans song was only released this morning

The cut off point for sales / streams / downloads is midnight on Thursday 24 December

So Ed and any other potential competition have 4 days to overturn ladbabys sizable lead

Marcus Rashford documentary is on bbc 1 tonight at 7 pm ....expect considerable ladbaby sales from this prime time Evening tv slot

I lumped a good few quid more on ladybaby earlier when he went as big as 1.7 - 1.8

The fact that Mariah and Wham are now 3rd and 4th according to the official charts company is very telling

Ed Sheeran still not even showing up on Kworb stats for iTunes

Plus James Masterton tweeted earlier that he gives Sheeran zero chance of number 1

afterglow in 3rd on itunes, with a massive banner advertisement at the top the second you load up itunes

Ed's sales or streams will never slow up from now till midnight thursday
plus mastertit is the biggest clueless goon on the planet

Ladbaby has released 2 versions of his song ..both of which now occupy the top 2 positions in the iTunes and Amazon charts

People don’t care if he’s a **** Army ....it doesn’t matter that the songs are rubbish ...

the fact is all the money raised will go to food banks really resonates with the public at Christmas time

The charity Angle gives him a huge advantage over Sheeran

Btw ....I agree with you when you think  that Ladbaby will be begging Ed to tell his fans to buy the ladbaby song ...just like Bieber did for the NHS In 2015

Ladbaby sold 90,000 last year ...78,000 the year before ....he Will easily sell over 100,000 this year

Sheeran needs to do A Ben Stokes here ...he needs 6s all day long ...I can’t see him catching up ....ladbaby has social media is his pocket

Sheeran lpm 28

Lucky bugger!

i win either way, bit more on Ed
i like the fact Ed is not letting him have it easy, he obviously planned this and wants a christmas number one himself

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ladbaby-makes-a-flying-start-in-th...

Ed wrote this last year and it wasn't supposed to be released yet. He's fully going for the number one spot. He knows it's there for the taking. The lyrics are perfect for the situation we are in. Okay maybe he won't romp the win, but this will resonate will people bigtime, not jsut his die-hard fans.

It's hard to argue releasing a song half way through the chart week is fully going for it.

good point lol
a christmas present surely should of been released on christmas day

Thank you!

Who got the 1,000 Ed?

Shape Of You scored 90K streaming points with 13.4 million streams, when the ratio was 1-150 audio only. Over 7 days. Say Ed does 10 million streams in 4 days, average ratio 300 that's 33.3K. So he needs something like 7.5 million streams a day to be in the race. 13.4 million (1.91 million per day) is the audio streaming record).

Do you know who got the 130 on Bill ?


It will kill ya

I think we all know who got the 130, the phucker never stopped going on about it!
Is you replying a hint that you got the 1,000? Fantastic stuff!

Nope i never got the 1000..

He has it as his pinned tweet now  lol

It's not far off the true price...

`Pinned tweet`? Who?

looks like the fun didn't last long then, ladbaby it is. bailed on Ed at 7 for a small loss on him

It was G from  G&T

Just looked at the nazis twitter for the 1st time in years. So glad he blocked me

I thought you were referring to me, that I`d mentioned it too often! He got some, I got some, didn`t we all??? Probably explains why he didn`t have the market voided when Bill revealed he wasn`t really Bill Bailey.

LB 245k Spotify streams
**** 450k Spotify streams

K**ts

282K spotify for Ed. lol

were done here, turkey ready for the oven
nice work all
merry christmas

116K after four days for LB.

**** outside the top 10, averaging less than 4K a day (before today).

Looks like Wham will be Ladbabys closest competition

unfortunately due to the weighting that the official charts company give for sales and streams of each song , which greatly favours new releases  compared to older songs it will be highly unlikely that ladbabys lead could be overtaken

James Masterton saying that Ladbaby is outselling the rest of the top 5 combined apparently

One week later - Last Christmas by Wham finally gets to number 1 after 36 years which is a record wait. It now loses the title of best selling single not to reach no.1 which passes on to Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera.
