Kylie Minogue, the iconic Australian pop star, has made history by securing her first Christmas number one in the UK with her festive track “XMAS.” This achievement marks a significant milestone as she becomes the first solo female artist to reach this coveted position in 12 years, following Sam Bailey’s success with “Skyscraper” in 2013. At 57, Minogue also becomes the first woman to have number one singles across four different decades.
The announcement comes after two consecutive years where “Last Christmas” by Wham! topped the festive charts. Minogue expressed her joy, stating that it was “hard to put into words” how special it felt to lead the singles chart during the holiday season. She remarked, “Being Christmas number one really is the most wonderful gift. I’m so thankful to everyone who’s been listening and sharing the love, and I’m wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.”
Accompanying her single is a vibrant music video featuring Minogue teaching a dance to a group of children and adults, along with a special appearance by ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus. Following “XMAS” in the singles chart are “Last Christmas” at number two and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” at number three. The top five is rounded out by Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” at four and the charity single “Lullaby” by Together For Palestine at number five, which is this week’s highest new entry.
Martin Talbot, chief executive of the Official Charts Company, praised Minogue’s remarkable achievement. Throughout her career, she has topped the singles chart on seven other occasions with hits such as “I Should Be So Lucky,” “Especially For You,” and “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.”
As the festive season unfolds, Kylie Minogue’s “XMAS” not only brings joy to her fans but also solidifies her legacy in the music industry.
