The festive mood makes its presence felt in the Top 10 as Olivia Rodrigo debuts at No. 8 with her first-ever original holiday single, take me home (4 christmas). This track stands as this week’s highest new entry, giving Rodrigo her 13th UK Top 10 hit and marking the first Christmas song to crack the Top 10 in 2026, signaling an early lead in the race for Christmas Number 1. Rodrigo also has three entries in this week’s Top 40, with her Chappell Roan collaboration, Expectations, holding firm at No. 7 and stupid song rising nine places to No. 26.
Seasonal classics are gaining momentum across the chart as well. Wham! return to the Top 40 with Last Christmas leaping 32 places to No. 22, while Mariah Carey’s evergreen All I Want For Christmas Is You rockets 36 places to No. 36. Adding to the yuletide vibe, Sam Fender enters the Top 40 at No. 39 with his heartfelt cover of The Rolling Stones’ You Can’t Always Get What You Want, recorded for this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert.
