LadBaby's record-breaking fifth consecutive Christmas number one could be under threat, with Wham and Mariah Carey's festive classics narrowing the gap. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s hit Last Christmas is currently 13,000 chart units behind LadBaby's charity track, while Carey's classic is 600 behind them, the Official Charts Company said.
Social media star Mark Hoyle and his wife Roxanne (LadBaby Mum) are bidding to continue their streak after making chart history last year by securing the Christmas number one for the fourth time in a row. Alongside MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis, the couple are the first act that have been allowed to rework the Band Aid Christmas classic after getting permission from Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and the Band Aid Trust.
The single, titled 'Food Aid', is raising money for food bank provider the Trussell Trust and the aforementioned Band Aid Trust.
