Kylie Minogue has snatched this year’s UK Official Christmas No.1 with her festive single XMAS, the Official Charts Company confirms. The 57-year-old pop legend has toppled Wham! from the top spot with her catchy yuletide anthem.
Kylie’s Biggest UK Sales Week in 23 Years
Dropping on an expanded edition of Kylie Christmas, XMAS powered Kylie to her biggest UK sales week in over two decades. She’s now the first female artist to bag No.1 singles in four different decades, cementing her status as pop royalty.
Close Contest at the Festive Top
The Christmas chart was razor-tight, with just 10,000 copies separating the top five tracks. Charity single Lullaby, supporting Gaza relief efforts, made a smashing debut at number five, showing strong festive spirit from UK buyers.
Is Kylie the New Queen of Christmas?
Official Charts Company boss Martin Talbot said Kylie could now rival Mariah Carey as the “queen of Christmas.”
Love it or hate it, XMAS has captured the UK’s attention and secured the coveted festive No.1. Does Kylie deserve the crown as the ultimate Christmas pop queen?
