LadBaby, Stormzy, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith and George Ezra are all on the list.

Scotland's most hilarious singer has returned with some new singles this year and a Christmas number 1 might be on the cards for him. Could its inclusion on the Christmas edition of his Gold Rush Kid album secure it a brand-new peak this year? Having recently spent four weeks at Number 1 with Unholy, the odds are certainly in their favour. The single is available to pre-order now, and is released on Friday (December 16). Fans of the group will definitely be showing their support for these tracks. Last year, LadBaby (aka YouTube star Mark Hoyle and his wife Roxanne) became the first act in UK chart history to win a fourth consecutive Christmas Number 1 in 2021 with the help of Ed Sheeran and Elton John. The track was also co-written with Ed Sheeran. The Official Christmas Number 1 single has previously been secured by everyone from the Spice Girls to Shakin’ Stevens, The Beatles, Girls Aloud, Bob The Builder and Mr Blobby. Only time will tell if it reaches that all important podium spot.
