Most Christmas Number Ones?
A Christmas Number One single has always been the Holy Grail of the UK record industry. Even in 2023 it is still topic of national conversation.
The Beatles had four Christmas number ones - the most of any group. Mysteriously they did not make it five straight number ones - missing out in 1966 when they did not reach the Top 50
- 1963: I Want To Hold Your Hand
- 1964: I Feel Fine
- 1965: Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out
- 1966: Green, Green Grass of Home (Tom Jones)
- 1967: Hello, Goodbye
