Chart - 25 December 2020

Week 52

He's a week late to continue securing the alternating No. 1 cycle but better late than never. Gary Barlow's 'Incredible' manages to achieve a fourth week at the top thanks to a boost from the festive version of the song 'Incredible Christmas.' That leaves All Time Low's 'Monsters' in runner-up position, with Gary's 'Let's Get Drunk' static at No. 3. Shane Codd's 'Get Out My Head' rises one place to No. 4 while Leona Lewis' 'One More Sleep' ascends two to No. 5.

Despite being Christmas Day, most festive songs are dropping down the charts presumably by streaming fatigue. Kelly Clarkson's 'Underneath the Tree' falls one place to No. 7, Elton John's 'Step Into Christmas' is down two places to No. 10 while Mariah Carey's beloved 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' exits the Top 10 to No. 12.

Meanwhile, All Time Low's 'Sleeping In' and 'Summer Daze (Seasons, Pt. 2)' gains amidst the festive fall. The former rising a place to No. 8 while the latter climbing two places to No. 9. Also taking advantage of this is Ariana Grande's '34+35,' which ascends four places to No. 11. 24kGoldn's 'Mood' is the last climber at No. 14 after gaining two places from last week.

Near the bottom are three re-entries bunched up together. The highest of which is Gary Barlow's 'This Is My Time' at No. 15 after it appeared on Musiclover's chart. What incredible taste I must say. At No. 16 is former No. 1 'Level of Concern' by Twenty One Pilots, appearing after the band posted a short clip announcing the end of its record-breaking never-ending video. Finally at No. 17 is Justin Bieber's 'Holy' which resurfaces after a new version with the NHS Choir was released last week.
