Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John's collaboration is heading the 70th Christmas Number One. This year, several performers are fighting for the top spot. Adele, Sir Cliff Richard, Abba, The Wanted, Gary Barlow, Sheridan Smith, and Lad Baby, a current novelty act favorite, are all competing for Christmas number one.

The powerhouse duo has written three new Christmas songs, the first of which, Merry Christmas, will be published at the beginning of December
