Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue has scored her first Christmas No. 1 single on the UK charts with Xmas. <\/p>\n
Her 2025 song beat English pop duo Wham!\u2019s Last Christmas (1984), at No. 2, and American singer Mariah Carey\u2019s All I Want for Christmas Is You (1994), at No. 3.<\/p>\n
Last Christmas topped the chart in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
Xmas, an upbeat dance-pop tune, is found in the reissue of Kylie Christmas, Minogue\u2019s first holiday album originally released in 2015. The song was released exclusively as a single on Amazon\u2019s digital music store on Nov 5, and the physical edition dropped on Dec 12. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to put into words how special this feels,\u201d the singer told British chart company Official Charts. \u201cBeing Christmas No. 1 really is the most wonderful gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 57-year-old is now the first woman to secure UK No. 1 singles in four different decades. She scored her first chart-topper, I Should Be So Lucky, in 1988. In 1990, she had another No. 1 hit with Tears On My Pillow.<\/p>\n
In the 2000s, she scored some of the biggest hits of the decade, such as the 2001 global smash Can\u2019t Get You Out Of My Head and 2000 club staple Spinning Around.<\/p>\n
She did not top the UK charts in the 2010s. But\u00a0she earned her first big hit of the streaming age with Padam Padam, the 2023 synth-pop anthem from the album Tension that went viral worldwide.<\/p>\n
