Singer Tom Grennan Seeks Coventry City Fans’ Support for Christmas Number One Bid

Singer Tom Grennan, a devoted supporter of Coventry City, has appealed to the club’s fanbase for assistance in his pursuit of the Christmas number one spot. His song, “It Can’t Be Christmas,” is presently competing against Wham’s “Last Christmas” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” in a three-way contest. In connection with his ambition for the leading position, Grennan recently had “Christmas no.1 2024 is…” tattooed on his leg, stating his intention to finish the inscription with the title of the victorious song. He conveyed to BBC CWR that achieving this success would be profoundly significant for him, enabling him to enter 2025 on a “massive high.” He stated, “For me, getting a Christmas number one this year would be the best…I would be going crazy and would have the best Christmas.” He added, “I’ll have the best Christmas even if I don’t get number one, but I’ve worked so hard this year with getting a record done and touring.” An update from the Official UK Chart indicates that Wham is currently the frontrunner to secure the top position for the second consecutive year, with Grennan and Carey trailing closely. However, Grennan expressed confidence that he could close the gap with the support of Coventry fans. He remarked, “There are a lot of Sky Blues fans and I believe that if every single one of them got behind me then we actually could do it.” He concluded, “What a dream that would be.” The announcement of the Christmas number one will be made by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders during The Official Chart show on Friday.
