Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir go straight in at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e December 31st 2015, with A Bridge Over You, which is a bit of a syrupy sweet rubbish mix of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water and Coldplay’s Fix You, but it’s all for charidee and is probably only No.1 because Justin Bieber, himself, tweeted to 72 million followers on Wednesday that “It’s okay not to be No.1 for a week” and for everyone to buy the NHS Choir song instead.
As such, Justin Bieber drops to No.2 with Love Yourself.
So, where is X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson this Christmas? She only managed a No.9 new entry last week, and in her second week, she’s dropped to No.12. Hopefully, the X-Factor is now over. Well, after next Xmas it will be, because ITV have bought that other deadbeat show, The Voice, to fill the gap.
