Xmas Number One 1980[edit]

Can I ask you why you consider St Winifreds to have been the Xmas No 1 in 1980 when it didn't reach the top spot until 27/12, according to www.everyhit.com? Is it because you dispute this fact? Or you believe that this constitutes "the week in which Christmas Day fell that year"?

Presumably you believe that if a record reached No 1 on 10 April say, then it was No 1 for the week before up until that day, announced retrospectively? I, however, think of it as being the number 1 for the following week, even though it's position is based entirely on sales from the week before.

Mike Smith ran a phone-in quiz in the early 1980s, and one question was the Xmas No 1 for 1980. Although the contestant insisted it was St Winifred's, Mr Smith refused to accept it as it had only reached No 1 after Xmas. This was also a question in a quiz I recently attended in which the quiz master said John Lennon was the correct answer. Then again, there was another year when I remember hearing it said on Radio 1 that the Xmas No 1 wouldn't be known until the day after Xmas!

So I guess different people have different definitions!

Well, I cross-checked it with other pages on Wikipedia, including the pages for both songs, and they all said that St. Winifred's was the number one. Condenser Coil 19:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed they do but they could all be equally wrong. This song's wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_No_One_Quite_Like_Grandma) says it was No 1 from 27 Dec to 3 Jan whereas all other sites I've seen (including another wiki site) say it spent 2 weeks at the top, so an apparent error. This page says it was the Xmas No 1 despite also stating that it was only No 1 for the week 27 Dec to 3 Jan. This doesn't make sense to me although I may be missing something. Can you explain why this would be considered "the week in which Christmas Day fell that year"?

In the United Kingdom, Christmas number ones are singles that are top of the UK Singles Chart in the week in which Christmas Day falls.

Take part in a survey[edit]

Hi CondenserCoil

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Click here to access the survey: https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0xE0vVW1MclX1d3

Thanks

June 2021[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Genshin Impact, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Generally, it is not a good idea to include "easter egg" links. It may be better to add a footnote to explain what each term means. Aasim (talk) 08:28, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The term used in the original Chinese version is "仙", which is the page I linked to. Condenser Coil 15:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
