Kylie Minogue has claimed the Christmas number one spot with her track ‘XMAS’.
The Australian artist has soared to the top of the charts with her new Amazon Original single. In second place is WHAM! with ‘Last Christmas’, while Mariah Carey's classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ sits in third.
This result is somewhat surprising—older songs typically have an advantage in streaming, and this marks the first time in eight years that the Christmas No. 1 hasn’t gone to either WHAM! or the charity comedy act LadBaby.
Additionally, this is Kylie’s first UK No. 1 single in twenty years, with the lively and upbeat track delivering unapologetic pop holiday excitement.
“I think I’d cry,” Kylie remarked to the BBC when asked about the countdown. “It’s been an incredible year, so that would be the cherry on top.”
‘XMAS’ received a limited vinyl release, prompting fans to rush out to purchase it. Have Amazon Original found the secret to a successful festive single? Last year’s Amazon Original offering came from Tom Grennan, which reached No. 2 on the UK charts.
