Robbie Williams' The Christmas Present, the only other festive record in the top five, sits in fourth place, while Coldplay are at five with Everyday Life.

The vlogger, who took the festive chart crown last year, took an early lead ahead of the likes of Stormzy, Wham! and Ellie Goulding.

LadBaby, real name Mark Hoyle, released a charity single called I Love Sausage Rolls, a twist on Joan Jett's I Love Rock "n" Roll, in the same vein as his 2018 chart-topper We Built This City, an ode to sausage rolls parodying Starship's classic hit.

All proceeds for LadBaby's novelty song will go to food bank charity The Trussell Trust for the second year running.
