2022’s Christmas Number One – Bookies’ favourites revealed
By the end of the week, we will know if LadBaby has made history by becoming the first artist to secure a fifth consecutive Christmas Number 1 – and the bookies have placed a 90.9% probability on this happening!
The team at OLBG have revealed the latest bookies’ favourites to be this year’s Christmas Number 1. So, can anyone stop LadBaby’s dominance of the Christmas charts?
The odd’s have revealed:
LadBaby are the odds-on favourite to land a Christmas Number 1 and are looking to become the act with the most UK Christmas Number 1’s. Currently, they share the accolade with The Beatles with four chart-topping singles.
Sidemen were the big market movers and their odds were as short as 5/4 recently, but their odds have now drifted to 11/2 to land the Christmas Number 1 spot.
The Kunts and The Pogues closely follow – both with odds of 12/1 and a probability of 7.7%.

A festive re-release of the popular football song ‘Three Lions’ fell dramatically out of the running after England were knocked out of the World Cup, as well as Tyson Fury’s rendition of ‘Sweet Caroline’.
The Pogues’ ‘Fairytale of New York’ has spent 117 weeks in the UK charts since its release in 1987, but has never reached the number 1 spot.
