December 23rd 2024.
It's been a nail-biting competition, but Tom Grennan may still have a shot at snagging the coveted number one spot on the charts with his festive song. Despite losing out to Wham! and their classic hit Last Christmas for two consecutive years, the determined singer has not given up hope.
In fact, Tom was so determined to take the top spot this year that he even got a tattoo in anticipation of his victory. However, his efforts only landed him at number four on the charts. But all is not lost, as it seems Tom is on track to claim his first-ever number one single this week with his song "It Can't Be Christmas."
According to Official Charts, Tom's song has surpassed Wham! and is just 500 sales behind, putting him in a prime position to secure the top spot on Friday. In a playful Instagram post, Official Chart teased that last week's Christmas number one champions, Wham!, and the Queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey, are not far behind in the race.
The festive competition is heating up, with Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath The Tree" climbing the charts and set to reach an all-time high. Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams drops out of the top five and Mariah Carey holds onto third place. The festive spirit is also evident on the charts, with Laufey's "Christmas Magic" climbing 15 spots after her appearance on the Graham Norton show.
It's not just the new releases that are making a splash on the charts, as Christmas classics like "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee and "Jingle Bell Rock" continue to hold strong positions, 60 years after their original release. As the countdown to Christmas continues, the anticipation for the chart reveal on December 27th is at an all-time high.
Tom's dedication to securing the number one spot is evident, as he even got a tattoo in preparation for the announcement. He had his thigh inked with "Christmas no.1 2024 is..." with a blank space for the winner's name to be added. And while he hasn't given an update on the tattoo situation, it's clear that his hard work and determination may finally pay off.
Tom's fans are rallying behind him, and he's urging them not to let this opportunity slip away. The Official Chart will be announced on Friday, December 27th, during Jack Saunders' show on Radio 1. It's sure to be a festive and exciting reveal, and we can't wait to see who will be crowned the Christmas number one.
