Editor Stephen Hill 12th December 2025

80's pop band  WHAM! has taken the top spot on the Official Singles Chart this week with "Last Christmas," surpassing Taylor Swift by fewer than 5,000 units. With several strong contenders releasing new physical copies today, the competition is heating up.  

RAYE's "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!" is in the Number 2 spot this week for the third consecutive week. Could the holiday season boost her to Number 1 next week?   

Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath The Tree" is at a new peak of Number 5 this week, marking its first time in the Top 5. Originally released in 2013, it has gained recognition as a modern Christmas classic.  

Kylie Minogue's Amazon Music UK exclusive "XMAS" has jumped to Number 16 and is a strong contender for the Christmas Number 1, especially with the release of its vinyl and CD copies today.
