== About the Christmas No.1 ==

The Ukie Games Charts Christmas No.1 is defined as the last published chart before Christmas.

The ISO-8601 week date definition means that a year can have either 52 or 53 weeks (364 or 371 days), as the first week of the year is the week that contains the first Thursday of the year. Therefore the Chistmas No.1 can fall on either week 50 or week 51, depending. To date, 15 Christmas No.1s have fallen on week 50 and 21 have fallen in week 51.
