Everything’s in mid storyline this week, and I\u00a0still<\/em> haven’t found time to read that second\u00a0Wolverine Max<\/em> TPB, so let’s do this while it’s fresh. \u00a0It’s a quiet week on the release schedule, as we’re entering the phase where regular<\/em> record promotion winds down for the Christmas break. \u00a0Which leaves the number one slot wide open for a change.<\/p>\n

39. \u00a0Justin Bieber – “Change Me”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The penultimate “Music Mondays” track is another one that would not normally have been considered for singles release in a million years. \u00a0Actually, looking back, this seems to be a weirdly uncommercial album for somebody like him. \u00a0This is the lowest charting of the nine released to date, but the tenth and final song is getting a music video and some degree of regular promotion, so I expect it to do better.<\/p>\n

37. \u00a0Wizzard – “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again, when the Christmas perennials return. \u00a0This has been an annual event since the advent of the download era, presumably because every year a new crop of teenagers suddenly feel the urge to own a copy of “Stop The Cavalry” and like. \u00a0God knows everyone else who wants these tracks must have bought them by now.<\/p>\n

“I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day” made number 4 in 1973, and has entirely overshadowed Wizzard’s two number one hits, “See My Baby Jive”<\/a> and “Angel Fingers”<\/a>. \u00a0(“See My Baby Jive” is basically “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day” without the Christmas.)<\/p>\n

34. \u00a0Leona Lewis – “One More Sleep”<\/strong><\/p>\n
