It was an Amazon exclusive so it’s somewhat easier to get a bigger chart position but even so this is a huge achievement! Her team timed this to perfection with promo / physical variants and the UK public got behind her in support

Congrats Queen Mother Kylie!!!!!

How did she get #1 if it was exclusive to Amazon though surely that makes it harder to get #1?

Congrats to Kylie because she truly deserves it but I hate chart manipulation and shenanigans, let the music speak for itself

Probably thevcontrary since paid streams are more valuable

I was hoping she would snatch the No. 1. Kylie really deserves this. It's a fun song and a much needed breath of fresh air. Although so many artists have released christmas songs in the past years but somehow they're not really sticking.

Hope it finds its place in the list of "classics" that chart every year.

Although I would like to see "Hot in December" going No. 1 next year. This song is even better in my opinion and on repeat since its release

"First #1 since 2003"

This is what happens when Parlophone makes odd single and tracklisting choices for X, and weird single choices and really outdated single release strategies for Aphrodite. Everything after going up to signing with BMG is the result of these mistakes.

It still kind of amazes me that All the Lovers & Padam Padam weren't #1 given how big they were. 

But yeah - the X era single choices and the order for Aphrodite singles was very very odd.

The butchering of the Aphrodite singles is the worst part for me:

Parlophone was making Kylie debut songs before they were available for purchase via dowloads and physicals. In the 1980s and 1990s this wouldn't have been a big deal, but this was in 2010. This ruined the singles after All the Lovers, which was the only song to get a proper release. I remember watching performances of singles from the album on places like the X Factor, and hosts would ask her if the song was available and she would just awkwardly say "soon" (@4:50):

Yeah Parlaphone really did not understand the digital age in the slightest. It's not at all surprising she quit and went to Roc Nation - although they were far worse.
