It Doesn’t Often Appear At Christmas

#1 Post by tottenhammattspurs »

With the UK charts completely clogged up with the usual Xmas songs, I wonder why IDOSAC isn’t charting? Even a lowly number 99 would be nice. Is it because it simply isn’t on pre-made Spotify playlists? You’d think now they’re back on Parlaphone and that a lyric video was made last year, that it would have had a decent push. It’s had (to my knowledge) no radio play either. Strange and a shame.
is is and isnt isnt

It popped up in the background on EastEnders the other day.

I think that's happened for several years now, there's obviously a Pethead somewhere in the production team!

It’s a very good point. I always assumed it’s because PSB actively dont push it (eg by not adding it to play lists and compilations). But it’s a great track. They should try to make more of it.
I'm always waiting...

Which date/timestamp please? Can't stand the dross, it's even worse than Corrie these days but I'd like to see the scene.

And normally it appears in the top songs under PSB on Spotify.
It's not in their top 10 at all, currently. Quite strange.

Can’t remember but it was in the past week and it was like the first or second scene. Agree that EE is absolutely diabolical at the moment but I think I’m sort of stuck with it until the new year.
