Christmas Number 1 2017 REVEALED – Ed Sheeran, George Michael’s Wham! or Eminem?

It’s Ed Sheeran, whose track Perfect has amassed enough combined sales and streams to come out on top.

The track accrued a total of 85,000; with 150 streams accounting for 1 sale. 45,000 were actual, pure sales.

Sheeran finished in second as well, on guest vocal duties on Eminem’s track River.

Wham!’s Last Christmas, the centre of a campaign to get George Michael to the summit on the anniversary of his death, finished in a still-respectable third place.

It enjoyed huge momentum in the last few days, ascending to No1 on iTunes, but ultimately couldn’t quite topple Sheeran.
