WOWWWWW @ Little Mix being the only non-Christmas song, they’re sadly such a non-presence in the US that I forget how massive they are in the UK. Would be cool if their last single as a quartet reached #1.

Justin’s version of Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree over Brenda Lee’s?! I’m appalled! Get it together, UK!
