It's official.

This year's Christmas number one has been confirmed.

Last year it was Wham!s Last Christmas.

The year before, it was Wham!s Last Christmas.

But this year we have a newbie and it's none other than Kylie Minogue.

Minogue's single XMAS is this year's Christmas number one and it's a record breaker as it makes Kylie the first female artist to top the charts in four different decades.

The singer said: "It's hard to put into words."

The Christmas Top 10 in full:

  1. Kylie Minogue - XMAS
  2. Wham! - Last Christmas
  3. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
  4. Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
  5. Together For Palestine - Lullaby
  6. Pogues ft Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
  7. Dave ft Tems - Raindance
  8. Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree
  9. Elton John - Step Into Christmas
  10. Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock

Martin Talbot, head of the Official Charts Company, said: "Kylie really, really targeted this particular race. Her record label pulled out all the stops.

"When you have a superstar of her status really going for it, she's always going to be in with a chance."
