THE 40- 2ND DECEMBER 2025- 8TH DECEMBER 2025

TAYLOR SWIFT STAYS PUT AT THE TOP FOR A NINTH WEEK AS SAM & OLIVIA REACH NEW HEIGHTS!

Christmas makes a huge comeback to the chart as 16 festive tunes dominate! Plus, 2 new entries from Tate Mcrae's latest release 'So Close To What??? (deluxe).

Just 3 charts remain until the all important Christmas Number One. Will Sam & Olivia hold on tight, will Taylor take it back or will a festive tune take the crown, all will soon be revealed.

As well as that, Taylor only needs two more weeks at the top to join 'Escapism' and 'Despacito' as the longest running number one songs!
