UK CHART: 3 XMAS SONG in UK TOP 20 ( > 255.000 sps )
A NEW NUMBER ONE ( the 3rd this year)

01 136,445 LadBaby feat. Ed Sheeran & Elton John - Sausage Rolls for Everyone [4,898 CDs, 110,882 downloads, 20,665 streaming]

02 90,508 Ed Sheeran & Elton John - Merry Christmas

13 Step Into Xmas - approx 32.000


LadBaby’s latest, Sausage Rolls For Everyone, opens atop the list on consumption of 136,445 units (4,898 CDs, 110,882 digital downloads, 20,665 from sales-equivalent streams). His/their first No.1, We Built This City, sold 75,442 on debut in 2018; I Love Sausage Rolls sold 92,896 on debut in 2019; and Don’t Stop Me Eating sold 157,733 on debut last Christmas. All plummeted on their second week, and overall consumption tallies of 152,227, 143,168 and 177,456 respectively plus this week’s tally for Sausage Rolls For Everyone lift LadBaby’s career sales to 609,346. Putting that into context, it is marginally more than Billie Eilish’s Ocean Eyes, the 153rd biggest track of the 2020s, which was released in 2015, peaked at No.72 in 2018, and has sold 596,123 copies thus far in the current decade, raising its cumulative sales to 1,137,762. We are clearly in a parallel universe through the looking glass when an obscure No.72 hit outranks four high profile Christmas No.1s.

There are two versions of Sausage Rolls For Everyone, a barely-heard, slower-paced version featuring The Food Bank Choir, and the headline-grabbing version that features Ed Sheeran and Elton John. As with previous LadBaby hits, all proceeds go to food bank charity, The Trussell Trust.

Effectively a remake of Ed & Elt’s Merry Christmas, with new lyrics by LadBaby couple Mark & Roxanne Hoyle - it dethrones the latter title, which graciously slips 1-2 even as its sales increase 42.71% week-on-week to 90,508 – the highest tally for a No.2 since Despacito, by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, sold 101,347 copies to occupy the berth in June 2017.

In more than 69 years of singles charts, which have seen 1,393 songs take turns at the top, this is only the fourth example of alternative versions of the same song topping the list consecutively. The first two occasions were back at the start of chart history.

Frankie Laine’s version of Answer Me replaced David Whitfield’s recording of the same song at the summit in November 1953, with both songs in a tie for No.1 a few weeks later.

In 1957, a tussle for supremacy between Guy Mitchell and Tommy Steele saw Mitchell’s version of Singing The Blues reach the top first, to be replaced by Steele’s version a week later. Mitchell returned to No.1 again the following week.

Less obviously but a lot more recently, Eamon’s 2004 chart-topper F**k It (I Don’t Want You Back) had its four week reign ended by Frankee’s answer disc F.U.R.B. (F**k You Right Back) – same tune, different lyrics.

Sausage Rolls For Everyone is LadBaby’s fourth No.1, Ed Sheeran’s 13th (fourth of 2021) and Elton John’s 10th (third of 2021).
