The Christmas Charts - 2019

The Beatles, Spice Girls, Ladbaby...

These are the only 3 acts in chart history to have consecutive Christmas number ones. Ladbaby has made Christmas number one again with "I Love Sausage Rolls" which again is a charity record. He's managed to keep Ed Sheeran of all people off the top. Now the era of the X Factor Christmas number one is over, could this be the era of the Ladbaby Christmas number one? As it's music that's not supposed to be taken seriously and for charity there should be a backlash against it in years to come.

Elsewhere we have the usual suspects making their annual return to the Christmas charts. I won't list them all as I suspect more will appear next week. The only new Christmas record in the Top 40 this year is John Legend with his version of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". I suspect most will have forgot about it come January.
