Kylie Minogue celebrates historic win as Christmas number one announced for 2025

The Aussie singer marked the occasion in her pyjamas

If you weren't sure whether Kylie Minogue was a deserving winner of the UK's Christmas number one, the way she celebrated might just convince you.

Although most of us would be popping the champagne, playing the track on repeat and painting the town red, the superstar singer marked the occasion from her bed.

And who can blame her, as tirelessly promoting her new Christmas album - titled Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) - has probably taken it right out of her.

But all of the hard work paid off, as the Aussie singer, songwriter, and actress, 57, has secured the top spot in the UK charts this December with her track 'XMAS', which is an Amazon Music exclusive.

Her belting out lyrics about smooching a special someone 'out in the snow' and piles of 'presents underneath the tree' has apparently proved very popular with Brits.

Minogue's merry triumph comes 22 years after she last hit number one in the UK with her 2003 single, 'Slow'.

She soared to the top of the charts for the very first time back in 1988, with her hit 'I Should Be So Lucky'.

Her latest achievement also makes her the first ever female artist to bag a UK number one in four different decades - the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2020s.

Minogue told Official Charts of her win: "It’s hard to put into words how special this feels. Being Christmas number one really is the most wonderful gift."

The Grammy-winner intends to spend the festive period 'obsessing over a jigsaw' with her loved ones Down Under, as per the BBC, as she explained they've picked up a 1,000-piece puzzle from their local charity shop.

You can imagine that 'XMAS' will probably be on repeat as they do so, given that it's just topped the charts in the UK.

In an Instagram post shared on Saturday (20 December), Minogue revealed how she celebrated being crowned as the Queen of Christmas this year.

In the short clip, she was seen feigning a yawn as she emerged from underneath a white duvet.

Outstretching her arms, Minogue then grasped towards her silver trophy that she received from the Official Charts to commemorate her triumph.

The singer, who was seen sporting black and white polka-dot pyjamas, then grinned and giggled as she waved her award around before putting her head into a pillow.

Minogue captioned the video: "After 1 sleep with a Christmas Number 1…..nope, won’t be over this any time soon!!!!!"

It seems the former Neighbours star intends to make full use of the bragging rights she's just earned for the next 12 months, then.

This year, WHAM!'s 'Last Christmas' came in at number two, while 'Lullaby' by Together for Palestine took the third spot in the UK Christmas charts.
