When the Christmas number one will be announced

The most coveted chart position of the year sees numerous artists battling it out for the win.

The trio will be fending off competition from both Lewis Capaldi and Taylor Swift.

The top spot is secured by the biggest song in the week leading up to Christmas - this year that’s from December 16 to December 22.

While it used to just be based on how many physical records were sold in shops, now the Official Charts Company makes a calculation based on sales, streaming, music videos and more.

You can hear the official result on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart Show with Jack Saunders from 4pm on Friday, December 23.
