"All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey took the number thanks to the Christmas streaming avalanche and it had some sales to help it rise four places to the top, the Christmas streaming avalanche also helped "Last Christmas" by Wham rise thirteen places to number two.
If the Christmas music wasn't a thing on the chart,"Mood' by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior would have returned to number one this week and spent a 10th week there but as it is it slipped one spot to number three and looks the most likely to go back to number one when the charts is restored to equilibrium.
Also slipping a spot is"Without You" by The Kid Laroi down to number four, it's also a threat for number one but all it's really got is Spotify streaming and I am not sure how much longer that is going to hold up.
Back to Christmas music because rising from 26 to number 5 is "It's Beginning to look a Lot like Christmas" by Michael Buble while the biggest gainer of the week is Ariana Grande's honestly pretty funny Christmas sex song "Santa Tell Me" which jumped from 28 to number six.
Falling three places to number seven is "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK. This still has a surprising amount of streaming, might well be a dark horse for the top spot...
Holding into it's traction despite dropping to number eight is "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby....good to see.
The second Ariana Grande song in the top ten is "positions" which stumbled three places to number nine. I wonder if anyone will remember this song by this time next year...just saying.
Finally, Taylor Swift had the biggest fall of the week with "Willow" plunging nine places to number 10.
Here's what the top ten would look like minus the Christmas songs

The only other bit of news from this week is that in terms of the new entries, there were three of those but the only one that might well stick around and become a hit is "Afterglow" by Ed Sheeran in at 47 (pretty impressive given it was released on Monday last week).
Next week: The chart eitther resets to equilibrium or we have more Christmas chaos. Stay tuned. The chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
