LadBaby celebrates surpassing the Beatles to claim fifth straight Christmas Number 1 with Food Aid song

LadBaby has claimed their fifth Christmas number one with their reimagining of Band Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas".

It's the fifth consecutive year that married duo Mark and Roxanne Hoyle have claimed the top spot, beating a record held by The Beetles.

The social media stars collaborated with MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis and a host of celebrity lookalikes on the track titled "Food Aid".

Proceeds will go to food bank charities The Trussell Trust and the Band Aid Trust.

In the run-up to Christmas, the track sold more than 65,000 units to become the fastest-selling single of 2022 to date.
