LadBaby score record breaking fifth Christmas number one

completemusicupdate.com:

LadBaby’s latest charity single is this year’s UK Christmas number one, meaning the YouTubers have now occupied the festive top spot for five years running.

And they’ve also scored more Christmas number ones than any other artist, breaking a record previously held by The Beatles, who topped the festive chart in 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1967.This year LadBaby – aka Mark and Roxanne Hoyle – joined up with money-saving expert Martin Lewis to release a cover of Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ As with their previous releases, food bank charity The Trussell Trust is a beneficiary of the charity record, though this year the Band Aid Trust will also get some of the money generated by the release.Commenting on their latest chart achievement, Mark Doyle says: “I can’t quite believe it!

We’re number one! The charity has made it five years in a row. How have we done this again? A massive apology to The Beatles – and to all The Beatles’ fans… I’m sorry!

The charity wins. The Trussell Trust gets Christmas number one again!”Official Charts Company boss Martin Talbot adds: “It only seems yesterday that LadBaby turned up with their first festive campaign four years ago, so it feels slightly surreal to be sending hearty congratulations on their fifth successive official Christmas number one.
