Ed Sheeran’s ‘Under the Tree’ Enters Christmas Number 1 Race—Is He Set to Win the Festive Crown? 🎄🎶
The battle for Christmas Number 1 is officially ON, and guess who just crash-landed into the race? None other than Ed Sheeran! The pop genius is back with a festive anthem, Under the Tree, and fans are already wondering—will he snatch the coveted title this year?
Ed Sheeran’s Surprise Christmas Drop 🎁
Ed Sheeran may be best known for love ballads and global hits, but he’s no stranger to the Christmas charts. In 2017, he dominated December with Perfect, and in 2021, he scored a Christmas Number 1 alongside Elton John with Merry Christmas. Now, the Shape of You singer is back, hoping to sprinkle some holiday magic on the charts with Under the Tree.
The track, which was officially released on December 1, 2024, is a heartwarming festive tune packed with Sheeran’s signature emotional lyrics, nostalgic melodies, and a chorus that’s perfect for cozy nights by the fire. Think Last Christmas meets Thinking Out Loud—basically, it's Christmas wrapped in an Ed Sheeran bow. 🎀
Can Ed Sheeran Secure Another Christmas Number 1? 🤔
Now, let’s talk FACTS. The competition for Christmas Number 1 in the UK is always fierce. This year is no exception, with heavy contenders, including charity singles, TikTok sensation tracks, and possibly even a wildcard viral hit (we see you, Mariah Carey 👀).
Still, Sheeran is no stranger to chart supremacy. He’s got an army of loyal fans, a history of smashing records, and let’s be real—EVERY song he touches turns to gold (or, in this case, Christmas glitter 💫).
Industry insiders suggest Under the Tree has all the ingredients for a Christmas chart-topper: a singalong-friendly melody, festive vibes, and a heartwarming theme of togetherness and love. Could this be the song that dethrones the All I Want for Christmas Is You reign? 👀
Social Media Buzz & Fan Reactions 🔥
Since the release of Under the Tree, social media has gone into a total meltdown. Fans have been raving about the track, calling it “an instant Christmas classic” and “the holiday anthem we never knew we needed.” Twitter and TikTok are already flooded with festive-themed videos featuring the track, making it clear that Sheeran’s Christmas charm is working its magic.
