This year sees the unveiling of the 70th official No.1 at Christmas. Gary Davies takes you through the very best of those mega-selling singles over the past seven decades, with all-time classics from the greatest pop legends including The Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Spice Girls, The Human League, Pink Floyd, and more. Plus he'll throw in a few obscure nuggets and novelty hits from bands and artists you'd probably forgotten all about. Only one song with 'Christmas' in the title has topped the chart on December 25th during the whole of the 21st Century so far. Find out what that is along with loads of other facts, stats and trivia galore throughout the show. Gary will also reveal who's entered the history books as 2021's newly-crowned festive chart-topper. It's the perfect celebration of music's most prestigious annual chart honour.
