The Beatles achieved four Christmas number ones on the UK charts.
These topped the Official Singles Chart during the Christmas week from 1963 to 1967. No other act has matched this record, though it's been referenced in recent chart discussions as of 2025.

Their Christmas Hits

The Fab Four dominated the holiday charts with these specific singles:

  • 1963: "I Want to Hold Your Hand" – Their breakthrough hit, selling 1.82 million copies, the biggest-selling of their festive toppers.
  • 1964: "I Feel Fine" – A rock classic that held the top spot over Christmas.
  • 1965: "Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out" – This double A-side single captured the season's top position.
  • 1967: "Hello, Goodbye" – Capping their run, beating out competitors like Tom Jones in '66.

In 1966, Tom Jones' "Green, Green Grass of Home" interrupted with the Christmas number one.

Fun Context

Beyond charts, The Beatles released exclusive fan club Christmas flexi-discs from 1963-1969, like "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)," full of holiday messages and sketches—true Beatlemania gifts not aimed at commercial charts. These remain collector treasures, often trending in holiday forums.

TL;DR: Four UK Christmas number ones (1963, 1964, 1965, 1967).
