(TBH I'm not 100% sure I haven't posted this one before but at least I
haven't done it recently).
It's the week before the Christmas chart but of course the chart-topper
is already in place. The other end has a very niche release though.
Also, one act are effectively "lapping" themselves
As far as I know nobody in this chart has died recently although one of
the song titles does hint at a recently celebrity RIP. Arguably some of
the acts may have been somewhat discredited over the years.
Playlists are here, everything on YouTube except the Phil Spector
megamix and slightly less on Spotify.
