Christmas Number One. If you're anybody in pop music, you'll be hankering after the chart position this year, bagging yourself a small place in musical history.

This year, the Christmas Number One will be announced on Christmas Day itself. But who will bag the top spot? Will it be a charity single, the X-Factor winner , or a surprise entry?

Sales and streams will be counted up until midnight on Thursday December 24, with the Christmas Number One being announced the next day at around 1pm on BBC Radio One... So get playing your favourite tune and help them reach the coveted position!

The UK Christmas Number One

Will be announced in

It is likely that The X Factor winner, Louisa Johnson , will be in the running for the title with her song Forever Young, as 2014 winner Ben Haenow clinched the title last year.

The charts are still dominated by Justin Bieber 's two top tracks, Love Yourself and Sorry. Adele 's Hello has dropped to number five, but could still rule the roost come Christmas Day.

Aurora 's cover of Oasis' Half The World Away (The John Lewis Christmas ad song) is a strong contender, as well as charity songs from Shirley Bassey and Blake , and the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir .

The Star Wars Theme Tune could win out, and glam-rockers The Darkness have released a Christmas tune, I Am Santa, which could prove a winner - albeit an unlikely one.

And in a shock surprise, rapper Stormzy is looking to become the first ever grime artist to land the UK singles number one spot with his single Shut Up, a huge landmark for the London-born genre. On Monday (December 14) the hashtag #ShutUpForXMasNo1 was trending in the UK.

As of 2pm on Tuesday (December 15), Forever Young by Louisa Johnson is number one, Love Yourself by Justin Bieber is number two and Shut Up by Stormzy is number three.
