A mixture of new Christmas songs, festive classics, charity singles and the politically-charged, are all competing for a place in this week’s Christmas Official Chart Top 40.
The Official Chart: First Look, which airs on BBC Radio 1 today between 6pm – 7pm, offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100. The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.
Reigning champion LadBaby starts out in pole position for the UK’s Official Christmas Number 1 2020 with Don’t Stop Me Eatin’, charging out of the blocks in the biggest chart race of the year with huge sales.

The YouTubers aka Mark and Roxanne Hoyle have an impressive lead so far on the Official Chart: First Look, scoring 80,000 chart sales after 48 hours and on course to be one of the biggest opening weeks of the year.
The pair are currently the ones to beat as they set their eyes on a third consecutive Christmas Number 1 – following 2018’s We Built This City and 2019’s I Love Sausage Rolls – proceeds will once more benefit food bank charity The Trussell Trust.
Winner to be revealed exclusively on BBC Radio 1, Christmas Day
