Tyson Fury as Christmas Number 1 – What are the Odds!

Tyson Fury as Christmas Number 1 - What are the Odds!

Christmas is about five weeks away, so anticipation is growing. And every year, a lot of music aficionados wonder which song will debut at number one on the charts for the holiday season.

LadBaby’s song Sausage Rolls for Everyone, which they released for Christmas in 2021, won the number-one slot. It was LadBaby’s fourth straight Christmas number one, a record that stands, and it included Ed Sheeran and Elton John.

With Don’t Stop Me Eatin’, LadBaby also claimed the top spot in 2020.

Could the 1998 hit by the Lightning Seeds, Baddiel, and Skinner become the top song with the World Cup taking place this winter?

However, Tyson Fury is the surprise favourite among bookmakers to be this year’s Christmas No. 1. Tyson Fury, one of the toughest athletes in the world, has released a cover of one of his favourite songs, and it’s all for a very worthwhile cause. 

The heavyweight boxer just performed his cover of “Sweet Caroline,” Neil Diamond’s timeless ballad from 1969. Along with supporting singers, the 34-year-old perfectly executed every note on the song, including the famous chorus, “Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good!”

What are the odds for this year’s Christmas number 1?

After hearing rumours that the Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions song would be making a holiday comeback, leading free bets portal freebets.ltd.uk has placed it among the front-runners for this year’s UK Christmas number one.

Three Lions might soon see a new release with revised lyrics, and the free bets portal has given the song odds of 7/1 to top the UK Singles Chart the week before Christmas.

In preparation for this year’s winter World Cup, the football anthem Three Lions might be altered to make mention of Christmas and England’s triumph at the Euros 2022.

The Lionesses’ post-victory celebrations, according to Lightning Seeds member Broudie, inspired him to think about doing a remake.

Although not “100% certain,” he told the BBC that it was “certainly on the cards.”

Tyson Fury with Sweet Caroline is currently at 6/1 for the number one spot. Fury has committed the proceeds from this record will be donated to Talk Club, a group that promotes the mental health of males. 

Fury has spoken up about his difficulties with the same issue and previously expressed the hope that he can serve as an inspiration for individuals going through a similar situation. 

Ladbaby, who held the Christmas number-one spot in 2021, has been pegged by William Hill as the favourite, with odds of 5/2 despite the absence of a single.

Ladbaby has not yet announced whether or not they will be releasing a holiday tune this season. However, Mark and Roxanne Hoyle have held the title for four years in a row (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021). Therefore, bookmakers believe a song is in the works.

Cliff Richard (10/1), Michael Buble (9/1), and Elton John (8/1) are the other contenders for the prize.
