Liam Gallagher set for highest new entry of the week with charity single and Christmas Number 1 contender All You’re Dreaming Of
Liam Gallagher has certainly been no stranger to chart success in recent years with three solo Number 1 albums under his belt, but now he's set to make an impression on the Official Singles Chart too with new charity single All You're Dreaming Of.
The track, co-written with Simon Aldred, could be about to deliver the Oasis star his highest-charting solo single to date on Friday. The UK's most downloaded track of the week so far and the week’s highest new entry after 48 hours, All You're Dreaming Of is Number 12 on tonight's Official Chart First Look, broadcast on BBC Radio 1.
Liam’s current personal best on the singles front as a solo artist is 2017’s Wall Of Glass which peaked at Number 21. View Liam Gallagher’s solo chart history.
Billed by Liam himself as a song that Bing Crosby would be proud of, the new festive track performed last night on The Jonathan Ross Show, has been confirmed by the Official Charts Company as an early contender for the Official Christmas Number 1 2020 crown. All You’re Dreaming Of is available digitally now, plus a 12" and limited edition white 7" vinyl version are due for release on the day the Christmas Number 1 race 2020 kicks off (December 18). Proceeds are going to UK charity Action For Children.
Compiled by the Official Charts Company, the UK's Official Christmas Number 1 race 2020 takes place 18-24 December, the winner will be revealed exclusively on BBC Radio 1 on Christmas Day afternoon and the Top 100 singles and albums published on OfficialCharts.com.

Its time for #1 and that is Mariah.
Joshua Sombra
Just hope that "Diamonds" will have new promotion and it will have a higher peak in the top 10 when more Christmas songs come off the charts.
GS
It will probably get reset after Christmas so it might go top 10
Mark Willmott
Hope Liam gets into the Top 10. It’s a great song and for an even better charity!
Piran
‘Positions’ needs to go now! :(
I really like Ariana, but can you guys please give a newer artist a chance at #1 instead?
GS
Pov deserves a lot more
Piran
‘POV’ is a much better single for me. :)
Shadowcat222
Yes, totally agree...
Piran
Mariah is just 900 chart sales away from #1 today! :D
Shadowcat222
Good crazy^^
GS
Prisoner out the top 20 is sad, but sweet melody possibly being #1 and all the Christmas songs is amazing
Piran
It’s at #11 apparently. :)
GS
Oh yeah, they skipped #14 and #11 on r1
Piran
Yeah, I never saw it in the chat earlier, so that’s why I thought the same at first! :P
I’m still surprised it isn’t higher though, with Miley’s new album now being released.
Piran
I prefer Brenda Lee’s version of ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’ to JB’s. :/
kppoppo
as you should
Piran
One’s a classic, one’s just mediocre! :P
Piran
Yes!!!!!! Mariah’s already in the Top 5 & it’s not even December yet! :D
Please let this finally be the year that she goes to #1! It would at least be a good end to a horrible 2020.
LD Quid20
She could even claim #1 this year!
Piran
I really hope so! That’d honestly be my favourite moment in the charts ever. :)

Theses christmas songs should not even be charting plan stupid....
Rob Parkinson
With streaming having a huge impact, think it is safe to say Mariah will be top 3 by Friday, unless something else really has impact could even be number 1 by next Friday!
Piran
She’s 900 chart sales off #1 today! :O
Rob Parkinson
Yeah wow could even do it this week!!! In fact I think she might just do it as streaming just going up while Arianna is slowing down!
