Yes

So The Fate of Ophelia not in the Top 20

I genuinely can't understand why One More Sleep isn't smashing every Christmas like Underneath The Tree does. Is it the general public just playing American Spotify playlists over British ones?

Official Charts Report

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.

This.

One More Sleep is Top 3 Christmas songs with Shakin Stevens and Chris Rea (unpopular opinion)

Its cuz there's 18 more sleeps

Yes, she’s top 20 on Apple and Belive she’s higher on Amazon so will be top 40, plus does really well on radio airplay!

She has Strictly and I presume Jingle Bell Ball will be shown next week too. I’ve checked and Tom didn’t have that promo last year, so it could give more weight to her. She also has a stronger physical force with the cd release come Friday.

Wonder where The Fate of Ophelia dropped to?

Probz just outside top 20.

Exactly but thats all next week so the focus for Xmas is next week

Ophelia coming for that 1-24-30-45-1 chart run

One thing to note regarding Kylie‘s chances of peeking high, she has fallen below Brenda Lee since this time last week.

Although several Christmas songs are up on last year, still 14 of them compared to 15 in last year's corresponding First Look
