Kylie Minogue’s Amazon Original Track XMAS Poised to Be This Week’s Highest Climber

Kylie Minogue’s Amazon Original track "XMAS" is set to become the highest climber on the singles chart this week. Early indicators show a significant surge in streaming and downloads, positioning the festive song for a strong rise.

This momentum comes amid a competitive lineup of classic and contemporary holiday songs. Tracks such as Brenda Lee’s "Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree" and Kelly Clarkson’s "Underneath the Tree" are also vying for top 20 placements, reflecting a seasonal trend in listener preferences.

Christmas Songs Gaining Traction

Several well-known festive jingles are targeting the upper chart positions. The list includes:

1. Brenda Lee – "Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree" (No. 11)
2. Kelly Clarkson – "Underneath the Tree" (No. 14)
3. Ariana Grande – "Santa Tell Me" (No. 15)
4. The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl – "Fairytale of New York" (No. 16)
5. Shakin’ Stevens – "Merry Christmas Everyone" (No. 18)

This mix of classic and modern holiday hits highlights the strong seasonal resurgence of Christmas music on the charts.

Additional New Entries and Chart Movements

New holiday tracks are also expected to enter the Top 40. Notable mentions include Elton John’s "Step Into Christmas" at No. 24 and Band Aid’s famous 1984 release "Do They Know It’s Christmas?" at No. 25. Gwen Stefani’s "Shake The Snow Globe" and other festive tunes by Michael Bublé and José Feliciano further complement this festive lineup.

Aside from holiday songs, broader chart dynamics reveal other significant movements. Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s "Rein Me In" is projected to climb two places to No. 3, spurred by a special Record Store Day vinyl release. Meanwhile, RAYE’s "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!" holds steady at No. 2, and Taylor Swift’s "The Fate of Ophelia" is expected to continue its reign at No. 1 for a seventh week.

Kylie Minogue’s "XMAS" stands out not only as a highlight for the holiday season but also as the top climber across the chart this week. The track’s rising popularity underscores the continuous appetite for holiday-themed music alongside other contemporary hits.
