I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • LadBaby clear at the top of the charts in the first look at the top 20 this week
  • Sidemen were the big market movers but have since drifted right out to 9/1
  • LadBaby's Christmas Number One domination includes the last 4 years in a row

LadBaby clear at the top of the charts in the first look at the top 20 this week

The battle for the Christmas Number One spot this year looks like it's going to be more of a whimper with LadBaby far clear of their nearest rivals for another top spot at Christmas.

Bookies make them 1/5 for Christmas Number One after the Official Charts announced that they are 16,000 units clear of Wham! in the UK Top 20.

Ladbrokes say there's an 83% chance that LadBaby stay at the top throughout the week and achieve a fifth Christmas Number One in a row.

UK Christmas Number One 2022 Odds Probability
LadBaby 1/5 83.3%
Wham! 5/1 16.7%
Sidemen
9/1 10.0%
The Kunts 16/1 5.9%
The Pogues
18/1 5.3%

Wham! are second favourites in the betting for Number One but bookies are only giving them a 16% chance of achieving the feat at the end of the week.

LadBaby are clear in the betting to achieve Christmas Number One yet again as their latest offering sits at 16,000 units clear in the chart race. Bookies now give them an 83% chance of being Christmas Number One again this year!

Sidemen were the big market movers but have since drifted right out to 9/1

A recent Sidemen Sunday video from earlier this month made bookies add them to the Christmas Number One market with two Christmas singles created.

'Christmas Drillings' and 'This or That' were made in their 'Sidemen $100,000 vs $100 Christmas Song' video and it was the former that was expected to be a contender for Number One.

William Hill did make the Sidemen as short as 5/4 to be the Christmas Number One this year but they've drifted since in the betting market to 9/1.
