"It's that time of year again - Christmas is coming and the release schedules are fattening up with every day. So it's time to watch the contenders gather on the starting line for one of the year's biggest chart races. This year, there is a wide variety of contenders - including children's favourites, charity fund raisers, daytime TV icons and Aussie pop queens, among many more. Within three weeks we'll know the winner. Until then... On your marks, get set, go!"
"Gelphie fans out there can rejoycify because "For Good", the heartbreaking (and totally sapphic-coded) final duet between Elphaba and Glinda from the second part of Jon M Chu's two-part adaption of Broadway and West End hit musical Wicked - which itself adapted from Gregory Maguire's 1995 dark fantasy version of the original Wizard of Oz story by Frank L Baum - could be in the running for Christmas Number One."
The Official Charts Company has identified likely contenders for this year's Christmas Number One, featuring a diverse field including children's favourites, charity singles, daytime TV acts and international pop stars. The race will be decided within weeks as release schedules intensify ahead of the festive period. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande appear among the potential chart challengers. The duet "For Good" from the Wicked sequel is a possible contender, boosted by the film's strong opening weekend. The musical adaptation grossed $226 million (£173 million) worldwide on its debut, a record for a film adaptation of a Broadway musical.
