In December 2025, Kylie Minogue achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first woman to secure a UK Christmas number one single with her song Xmas. The UK music charts revealed her song leading the festive rankings, where it surpassed prominent competitors such as Wham!'s Last Christmas and Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You. This victory marked the first time in eight years that Wham! did not dominate the Christmas chart, having held the top position in both 2023 and 2024. The song Xmas is featured in the reissue of her holiday album, Kylie Christmas, which was originally released in 2015. As a pop icon, Minogue has made history by securing number one singles across four different decades, showcasing her enduring appeal and relevance in the music scene. This significant achievement came after the song was released as a digital single on Amazon in early November and as a physical copy in mid-December. Kylie expressed her gratitude, stating that being Christmas number one is an extraordinary honor, calling it the most wonderful gift she could receive. Her triumph was celebrated not only for its historical significance but also for adding a fresh energy to the Christmas music landscape, which has been recently characterized by repeated hits from established acts like Wham! and charity singles from artists like LadBaby.
