Imagine Kylie being Xmas No. 1 this year

Would be great. And I love that she is pushing for it!

I don’t think she’d manage Xmas #1 but I could see her being the week after with the Amazon push + kylies fan base

Will be very angry if Rein Me In matches Seventeen Going Under's peak but I imagine it won't. Wish it would just go away now but can see us being stuck with it for another few months

Amazon not having a delay in reporting data could really benefit Kylie for the 26th December chart, given Spotify and Apple won't have reported Christmas Day (Thursday) data in time and therefore all other songs will be under-reported...

The vinyl only boosting RMI to number 3 is a bit shocking 😲

1 Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia

Official Charts Report

The festivities have well and truly begun. We have a batch of possible high risers in the charts this week including Kylie Minogue’s Amazon Music Original tune XMAS, which is set to skyrocket 55 places (9).

Moreover, Last Christmas from Wham! (5) and Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You (7) are also looking to climb further up the standings.

Other Christmas jingles aiming to pierce the Top 20 include Brenda Lee with Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree (11), Kelly Clarkson’s Underneath the Tree (14), Wicked’s very own Ariana Grande on Santa Tell Me (15), The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's Fairytale of New York (16) and Merry Christmas Everyone from Shakin’ Stevens (18).

And likely new holiday entries into the Top 40 consist of Elton John’s classic Step Into Christmas (24), Band Aid’s 1984 version of Do They Know It’s Christmas? (25), Shake The Snow Globe by Gwen Stefani (28), Andy Williams magical It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (29), Michael Bublé's cover of It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas (35), Puerto Rican’s José Feliciano with Feliz Navidad (36), Darlene Love on Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (37), Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime (39) and The Ronettes with Sleigh Ride (40).

Elsewhere, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In could enter the Number 1 race this week, with the hit song tracking to jump two places (3). This comes after a special 7” vinyl variant of the track was released last week in line with Record Store Day.

That means RAYE’s WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! currently maintains its position at Number 2, while The Fate of Ophelia from Taylor Swift is on course to earn a seventh week at the top (1).

HAVEN. and I Run featuring Kaitlin Aragon is set to crash the Top 20, up 24 places so far as the track experiences further viral success (13).

Central Cee could earn the highest new entry this week with Booga (26).

Former Number 1 The Subway from Chappell Roan could re-enter the Top 40 after a limited-edition vinyl with The Giver as a B-side, was dropped last Friday (32).

'The Fate Of Ophelia' is set for more weeks at #1 than 'Anti-Hero' as it stands.

Another big boost fir the subway more vinyls ?

Wham is going number 1 next week aren't they

No idea only time im forced to listen to it is when it comes on the radio at work, but chart wise it always ends up higher at the end of the week than the start

Do you have to be such a buzzkill, Jason?

Did not expect kylie to be top 20 today let alone top 10.

Really happy with that.

I'd be over the moon with any week if she can do it.
