It's that magical time of year again! Just a few months ago, we witnessed the incredible performances of Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975 at Glastonbury, the Lionesses' triumphant European championship title defense, and even a surprise reunion of Oasis for some unforgettable gigs. And now, as the nights grow longer and the festive spirit kicks in, it's time to discover who will claim the coveted Christmas number one spot.
