Wham Favourite But Kylie Minogue Gains Ground for Christmas Chart Crown
With the festive season fast approaching, bookmakers have updated the betting odds for this yearâs coveted Christmas Number One and Wham remain favourites to top the charts once again with their iconic hit âLast Christmasâ, sitting at 10/11.
But all eyes are now on Kylie Minogue, who has surged to 5/1 after the release of her brand-new Amazon Music Original track âXMASâ.
With the single set to dominate Alexaâs default holiday playlists in homes across the UK, stream volumes are expected to spike significantly in the run-up to the big day.
Minogueâs exclusive deal with Amazon Music positions âXMASâ front and centre as soon as listeners ask Alexa to play Christmas songs which is a key factor in streaming-driven chart rankings.
William Hill's latest market gives an implied probability of 52.4% that Wham hit the top spot once again.

Will Wham Take The Crown Once Again?
While Whamâs âLast Christmasâ is a perennial favourite that has topped the streaming charts around December for years, it only officially hit the Xmas Number One spot in 2023.
2024 also saw the classic song at Number One and we may well see a hat-trick take place this year.
Elsewhere in the market, Mariah Carey sits at 12/1, alongside a handful of other big names like Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Labrinth, and Alison Limerick.
Viral contenders such as the Sidemen (16/1) could also disrupt the traditional contenders.
