Sam Ryder is challenging Wham! for this week’s UK No. 1 single.

The Eurovision star’s holiday hit, You’re Christmas To Me, is less than 800 chart units behind reigning chart-topper, Last Christmas, from the pole position and could become his first No. 1.

The singer-songwriter previously peaked at No. 2 with his Eurovision 2022 entry, Space Man.
