Kylie's XMAS Dethrones Wham! For Festive Chart Top
20 Dec
Summary
- Kylie Minogue secured the Christmas No1 single with 'XMAS'.
- Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' was aiming for a third consecutive win.
- Kylie's win marks her first UK No1 since 2003.

Kylie Minogue has officially secured the UK Christmas number one single with her festive track 'XMAS', ending Wham!'s bid for a third consecutive year at the top.
This triumph is particularly sweet for the 57-year-old pop icon, as it represents her first UK number one single in 22 years, since 'Slow' in 2003. The success of 'XMAS' also comes 37 years after her debut UK number one, 'I Should Be So Lucky'.
Industry insiders attribute the song's success, in part, to its exclusive availability on Amazon and its integration with the Alexa virtual assistant, which may have boosted streams. Following this chart resurgence, Minogue is reportedly planning to release a new album, signaling a major career renaissance.
