LadBaby is the current 3/1 outright favourite in Christmas No 1 betting for 2020* (betting odds taken from Ladbrokes at 16:49 GMT on Wednesday, 25th November 2020).
LadBaby has dominated this area of novelty betting for the last two years having been sitting top of the charts in 2018 and then again in 2019.
The first time was with a parody cover of Starship’s “We Built This City” and last year it was “I Love Sausage Rolls”, an obvious parody of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”.
Will there be a hattrick of Christmas Number Ones for LadBaby whose work has appeared in a tv commercial for Walkers Crisps?

But the big mover in the Chimstas Number 1 betting market this week was Jess Glynne. She has released “This Christmas”
She was as long as 25/1 earlier this week but was slashed into 8/1 by Ladbrokes in the music market* (betting odds taken from Ladbrokes at 16:49 GMT on Wednesday, 25th November 2020).
The song was recorded exclusively through Amazon as a part of their Originals series.
Also having launched a cover for Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” for the same Amazon Original series is Justin Bieber. That is also expected to trend strongly for a Christmas Number 1.
There are, of course, more of the usual staples of Christmas tunes that come up every year, expected to go well again, like Wham!’s “Last Christmas” and Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas hits.
As it stands, however, in the Christmas Number One betting market, the only other name in single figures alongside LadBaby and Glynne for the 2020 Xmas charter topper is former Oasis Frontman Liam Gallagher who is at 8/1* (betting odds taken from Ladbrokes at 16:49 GMT on Wednesday, 25th November 2020)
