Just realised I was bang on with my 55k estimate for total sales last week!

Not bad for someone who they said would be a one hit wonder...37 years later

And we won half of it back at the bookies haha

 

Over 1.5m youtube views after 1 week. Premiere was low key 8.15pm last Friday

Now trending number 3 on YouTube Music video trending chart

Think I’m still in shock that Kylie has a #1 in 2025 (and I have had a significant bank balance boost!).

What a time to be a lifelong Kylie fan ❤️

I was contemplating putting £1000 on her on Wednesday when she was 5/4 but just put £100 on, kicking myself that I could’ve been £1200 better off! The thing that put me off was she tended to slip as the week went on in previous weeks, I should’ve had more faith in her!

I keep thinking I should have put 20 on when I did my initial bet, but oh well, I won’t be greedy! 😂

Only 2 Amazon exclusives have went to #1: "XMAS" by Kylie and "River" by Ellie Goulding

It Can't Be Xmas last year really deserved it too!

Wonder how much the bookies lost this week 🤣

Likely they made loads more off people betting Wham for a 3rd year (something I avoided after not seeing any odds for Wham I was comfortable taking), the bookies always have their edge.

Only considered Kylie as an option when she was already down at 2.6 (in decimal odds) and she didn't stay there long so I didn't end up putting any money on it this year.

First woman to score a UK #1 hit in 4 different decades. Would've been 5 if "All The Lovers" went to #1 instead of #3.

My win was £1760 but my bets still haven't settled lol 🤔

I just wanted to add some impressive stats...

-First female solo artist to claim UK Christmas number one in 12 years.

-Only The Beatles have a larger time gap between their first and last number one with two diffeent songs.

-One of four solo female artists to claim Christmas number one since UK Charts began.

-Outside X-Factor, Whitney Houston was the only female artist to claim a Christmas Number one. Kylie has joined Whitney.

-Kylie is the only female artist to have a number one in four different decades.

-Kylie's most successful first week sales for a single in thirteen and a half years. (Since Love At First Sight in June 2002)

-First UK number one since Slow (common you already knew that)

-Kylie only needs one more number one to equal The Spice Girls

Welcome ❤️

Tried to get some sleep, (still only 9am here) but I would only sort of doze and kept waking with "XMAS" going around in my head. Going to be a long day. Oh Kylie, what have you done to me lol

More coverage to help with next week

Don’t forget to give your +5 votes for XMAS in the reshuffle charts - it’s not often we get to vote on a Kylie song in the Top 10!

I'm a little late to the party but this is such a wonderfully brilliant result!

Congratulations Kylie!

Well done to the fans for getting her that #1!

Mine has settled and it’s in my bank account 😁

16 -> 1 is a pretty impressive jump to number one too! Surely not many songs outside of the post Christmas rebound have jumped to number one like that.

I think Adele went 47-1 with someone like you after a Brit's performance

Now that we now that with a perfect push Kylie can take up to 15-20k physical sales in a week, can we make it happen at least once every era? 😂
