The coveted Christmas number 1 single this year is the first number one in over two decades for Kylie Minogue, the Australian soap star and singer who's always been popular in the UK, but has not achieved the same fame here outside of the LGBTQ community--despite only being available for buying, streaming or downloading through Amazon, her new song "XMAS" (spelled out like cheerleading) ended a two-year reign of Whamegeddon (or Wham!'s "Last Christmas")--here's the song:

Back in the UK, the top 5 following 'XMAS" are Whamegeddon, That Mariah Carey Song, Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and one non-Christmas song, the charity record "Lullaby" by Together for Palestine to raise funds for people attempting to live In Gaza. It is safe to say that if the record was released in the U.S., iHeart and Audacy stations would not play it.
