This Christmas quiz will test whether or not our readers know which festive hits made it to number one or just missed out on the top spot in the charts
Let’s see how well you know your Christmas hits.
Wham! have scored two Christmas number ones and number twos with their festive classic Last Christmas – but can you remember if these hits were festive chart-toppers or near misses?
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are once again heavily featured on Christmas playlists alongside many other festive favourites. The 1984 single reached number one in 2023 and made it again last year.
Fairytale of New York has made it into the Christmas top 40 for the past 20 years in a row. So now it’s time to test your Christmas chart knowledge – do you know where these timeless classics charted when they were first released?
A look back through the singles charts of Christmas past shows that the festive number two is often more memorable than number one – particularly during the years when a succession of X-Factor winners (or the sausage roll-obsessed charity champion Ladbaby) led the way.
Take our Christmas charts quiz to see if you tell which of these hits from yesteryear were top of the festive pops and which ones just missed out on the coveted Christmas number one.
