…but Together For Palestine, WHAM! and The Pogues are hot on her tail.

Kylie Minogue takes an early lead in the Official UK Christmas Number 1 race 2025 with her Amazon Music UK exclusive single XMAS, Official Charts can confirm.

Currently 7,000 units ahead 48 hours into the race, the Aussie pop princess’s lead is boosted by the release of XMAS's new 7” gold vinyl, 12” zoetrope vinyl and CD editions which freshly dropped on Friday, and also Amazon Music streams which are typically higher over the weekend too.

The UK's best-selling track of the week so far, and just 231 chart units behind WHAM!, is Together For Palestine's charity single, Lullaby (3). The song, featuring Leigh-Anne, Bastille's Dan Smith, Mabel, Neneh Cherry, Nadine Shah and more raises life-saving funds for the people of Gaza. All profits from the release will go to Choose Love’s Together For Palestine Fund, supporting three Palestinian-led organisations: Taawon, Palestine Children's Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service.

Would love Kylie to do it but reckon she’ll get overtaken by Wham.

Lullaby at 3 surprises me, that will defo drop off though by the end of the week as it doesn’t have strong streaming numbers.
