The Beatles have achieved seven Christmas number ones.

The UK Albums Chart Christmas number ones are the records that have been at the top of the UK Albums Chart on Christmas Day. Typically, the Christmas number one is the album that was announced as number one on the Sunday before 25 December. When Christmas Day falls on a Sunday itself, the official number one is the one announced on that day's chart. The most successful act is The Beatles (pictured), who have topped the Christmas chart with seven different albums. With the exception of 1966, they reached number one on every Christmas chart from 1963 to 1969, and also topped the chart in 2000 with their singles collection, 1. The only other act to release more than three Christmas number one albums is British singer Robbie Williams, who topped the chart with three solo albums in the early 2000s, and also featured as part of Take That on their 2010 album, Progress. The 2012 number one album is Our Version of Events by Scottish recording artist Emeli Sandé. (Full list...)
