Kylie Minogue Claims 2025 Official Christmas Number 1

In a historic moment for British music, pop icon Kylie Minogue has officially secured her first-ever UK Christmas Number 1 with her festive hit, “XMAS.” Coming 37 years after her chart debut with “I Should Be So Lucky,” this victory isn’t just a seasonal win—it is a record-shattering achievement.

Ending the Reign of WHAM!

The 2025 festive season marks a shift in the holiday landscape. Kylie’s Amazon Music exclusive single has successfully ended WHAM!’s two-year dominance, clinching the most prestigious chart position of the year. While the battle for the top spot is always fierce, Kylie’s climb to the summit represents a significant milestone in an already legendary career.

A Historic Four-Decade Milestone

With this latest achievement, Official Charts confirms that Kylie Minogue has become the first female artist in history to score UK Number 1 singles across four different decades:

• The 1980s

• The 1990s

• The 2000s

• The 2020s

By reaching this milestone, she surpasses iconic peers such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Mariah Carey, all of whom have secured Number 1 hits across three decades.

Joining the Hall of Legends

Kylie now enters an elite circle of artists. In the history of the UK Official Charts, only four other acts have achieved Number 1 singles spanning four decades or more:

This achievement cements Kylie’s status as a perennial force in the music industry. From her early days as a pop ingenue to her current reign as a global superstar, her ability to evolve and capture the cultural zeitgeist remains unmatched.
