I haven't cared what is number 1 since eminem got beat to it by bob the builder. I like what I like, it doesn't make a difference what the largest group of fans listened to. Good for whoever beat Mariah, maybe it's something I like and maybe it isn't. But I'm not fussd.

I have never cared about what song is number one does it make any different to my life?

Sad that fairytale of New York isn’t number one

That’s the worst song ever, it’s like listening to a drunk at a pub with a really gobby woman shouting about. Can’t stand that one.

Walked into the dentists room/office (not sure what you call it) today as that song is playing on the radio, and said "right, first point of order, turn that shit off!" He laughed and did, just to make clear! We get on well, just in case anyone thought I was being overly rude and familiar to some poor bloke I don't know.

I don't even care about the charts and particularly that song.

Has Christmas no 1 really even been a thing of note since the shift to streaming?

I admit I sit more in the American culture bubble these days but i’m always bemused at what a current cultural talking point in the UK is. I’ve not heard of number 1 drama since Rage had that battle with the X-Factor guy.

It was dominated by whatever rubbish the Pop Idol/X factor winner released for about 15 years. Prefer that it reflects actual Christmas songs now

I guess I mean is it even something in the public conscious anymore?  The charts in general don't seem to have the same relevance as they used to.  But of course that could simply be that I'm now old. The x-factor thing was so depressing wasn't it?  I did actually buy 'killing in the name of' to get RATM no 1 even though I owned the album from the 90s!

Has No 1 been a thing at all since then?

I never even knew it was. But I tend not to listen to the radio over the festive season. Simply due to the fact I actively avoid hearing that Mariah Carey song, as well as Fairytale of Bew York. I cannot stand either of them. I've done pretty well - i don't think I've heard them in at least 4 years now.

It was last number 1 in 2022 so honestly I'm over it.

I don’t even know she was number 1 so I don’t care.

I dunno it’s getting to the stage where people whinging about it are as annoying as her actual music.

I can't say that whatever is no. 1 has any bearing on my life.

Accurate_Prompt_8800@reddit

Don’t care really. Feel as if the top 40 chart has fallen off massively in the last decade, if you didn’t mention it here I wouldn’t have even known the Christmas no 1.
