Do we expect any Christmas songs to cling on in the first top 40 of 2026, I reckon Kylie and Wham may still be there as well as being a day closer than last year.

Why is there a new playlist on Boxing Day this year when they would normally freeze the playlist.

The current record of 37 Christmas songs in the top 40 was equaled last year but could it go one, two or even three better making it a full house? I think it will be a new record this time with 38 with only Raindance and Rein Me In surviving.

27 Christmas songs in the Christmas top 40 compared to 29 last year 58 Christmas songs in the Christmas top 40 compared to 53 last year

So you're classing Lullaby as a Christmas song when it should be number 1 non-Christmas?

LH?

You bring back a 15 year old thread just to say that?

Do we expect an all Christmas top 10 come Friday?

First time hearing this Palestine song and I don't think it's bad.

Will always prefer Mel Smith and Kim Wilde's version.

Is it likely there will be a playlist update on Boxing Day given there will be no all day anthems this year?

27 Christmas songs in the top 40 compared to 26 last year 54 Christmas songs in the top 100 compared to 50 last year However the higher you get the fewer Christmas songs there was last year 13 Christmas songs in the top 20 compared to 15 last year 6 Christmas songs in the top 10 compared to 8 last year

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

Come on Raye, end that Christmas monopoly!

Can't believe Underneath The Tree is 12 years old already!

There was an excellent documentary on Friday night about the making of Do They Know Its Christmas, worth a watch on iplayer.

Hate DHFC with a passion

Also gives you a rough idea what the first chart of 2026 will look like

To be fair its dominance will end eventually either way, they all come in waves

Shaky and The Pogues not even in last year's corresponding chart update, Santa Tell Me from 20 last year to 15.

Eight Christmas songs in top 40 this week compared to 10 in 2024 and 16 in 2023 29 Christmas songs in top 100 this week compared to 28 in 2024 and 32 in 2023
