The Official Chart: First Look offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100. The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.
Kylie Minogue is tracking towards her 36th UK Top 10 single with XMAS.
The Australian icon’s new festive hit made its Top 40 debut last Friday, and is on course to climb 19 places to Number 5 on the Official Chart: First Look.
If it holds, XMAS will mark Kylie’s first Top 10 hit since 2023’s Padam Padam peaked at Number 8, and highest-charting song since 2010’s All The Lovers, which topped out at Number 3.
XMAS is an Amazon Music Original, and features on the Amazon-exclusive variants of her Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) album, released last Friday (December 5th).
It’s a three-horse race for Number 1, with festive favourites from WHAM! and Mariah Carey battling RAYE this week. Last Christmas is pole position so far, with All I Want For Christmas Is You in the runner-up slot, and WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! at 3.
Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree is on course to re-peak at Number 4, its highest ever placement achieved in 2022 and 2024.
Kelly Clarkson’s modern Christmas classic Underneath The Tree scales three places to Number 6 so far this week, a potential new peak for the song which hit its current personal best of Number 7 in 2024.
Gwen Stefani could claim this week’s highest climber with Shake The Snow Globe (16), which would mark her first UK Top 40 single since 2007. Similarly to Kylie’s XMAS, this track is a new Amazon Original for 2025, and features on the Amazon exclusive deluxe reissue of her holiday album You Make It Feel Like Christmas.
Finally, dance anthem I Run by Haven ft. Kaitlin Aragon could break into the Top 20 for the first time, up four spots to 17 midweek.
