LadBaby has taken the number one spot at Christmas for the third year in a row, beating out Mariah Carey, Liam Gallagher and Justin Bieber.

LadBaby, which engages YouTubers Mark and Roxanne Hoyle, topped the charts with their sausage roll track Don’t Stop Me Eatin ‘, sung to the tune of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.

The first week sales figures for the single have surpassed its previous two tracks, which peaked at number one.

All money raised will go to The Trussell Trust, a food bank charity.

LadBaby said: “From the bottom of our hearts, we just want to thank you all again. We cannot believe that, a third year later, we have had so much support once again.

“We are trying to raise money for an amazing cause, so thank you. Merry Christmas everyone and Don’t Stop Believin ‘, things are going to get better. 2021 will be better for everyone.”

His two previous issue-1s were also about sausage rolls.

In 2019, they ranked first with I love sausage rolls – her own version of I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll by Joan Jett.

His number one of 2018 was called We build this city, faking the classic Starship hit.

LadBaby has now equaled a record, also held by Spice Girls and The Beatles – to have three consecutive Christmas number 1s.

The girl band reached No. 1 between 1996 and 1998 with 2 Become 1, Too Much, and Goodbye.

The Beatles were the first group to get three consecutive number 1s between 1963 and 1965 with I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Feel Fine and Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out.

Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You took second place on the chart of Christmas singles.

Wham! came in at number three with Last Christmas, while Jess Glynne came in fourth with This Christmas.

In the album list, Paul MCCARTNEY took first place with McCartney III despite stiff competition from Taylor Swift and his album Evermore.
