"Kylie Minogue has scored her first UK Christmas No 1, and eighth No 1 single overall, with the song Xmas. She beat competition from Wham!'s mega-streaming Last Christmas, which has been Christmas No 1 for the past two years: it was last week's chart-topper but drops to No 2. Also in the race was Lullaby from the charity campaign Together for Palestine, which reached No 5."
"It's Kylie's first No 1 in 22 years, after Slow in 2003, and only her second solo Top 10 hit since 2010's All the Lovers. Xmas makes her the first woman to secure UK No 1 singles in four different decades, and she's a rare Australian Christmas chart-topper Nicole Kidman was the previous one, with her Robbie Williams duet Somethin' Stupid in 2001."
Kylie Minogue scored her first UK Christmas No 1 and eighth No 1 overall with 'Xmas'. 'Xmas' displaced Wham!'s 'Last Christmas', which had held the Christmas No 1 for the past two years. The charity single 'Lullaby' from the Together for Palestine campaign reached No 5. The No 1 is Kylie's first in 22 years since 'Slow' (2003) and only her second solo Top 10 since 2010's 'All the Lovers'. 'Xmas' makes her the first woman with UK No 1 singles across four decades and a rare Australian Christmas chart-topper. The track's performance was aided by CD and vinyl sales and by being an Amazon Music exclusive often played via Alexa, marking the first Amazon-commissioned song to reach Christmas No 1.
