Holiday classics yes, but with a surprise: if Michael Bublé returns to dominate the top ten of the best-selling albums in the Christmas week with Christmas, among the singles Mariah Carey, after five years of dominance, loses the scepter of the most listened to song with All I Want For Christmas Is You, to give way to Wham! with Last Christmas. This is the response of the Fimi/Niq charts for the week from 18 to 25 December.
Among the albums, Olly goes back to second position with Tutta Vita (Sempre), in the charts for 61 weeks, ahead of the Pink Floyd phenomenon, third with the re-release of Wish You Were Here 50 years after its release (down two steps, but still firmly at the top of the vinyl charts).
Fourth place for Gemitaiz with the new album Elsewhere which boasts collaborations with Mathilde Fernandez, Salmo, Neffa, Ele A, Coez, MadMan, Venerus, Meg, Joshua and Danno. Paky goes down two steps and is fifth with Gloria, with collaborations ranging from Baby Gang to Clara, passing through Franco126, Guè, Kid Yugi, Rose Villain, Sfera Ebbasta, Shiva, Simba La Rue and Tedua.
Ultimo is in sixth position with the live album Ultimo Live Stadi 2025, ahead of Caparezza who goes up five steps and is seventh with Orbit Orbit, the new work accompanied by the comic book of the same name, created in collaboration with Sergio Bonelli Editore (second among the vinyls).
Closing the top ten are Kid Yugi with Tutti i Nomi del Diavolo, Cesare Cremonini with Cremonini Live25 and, in tenth position, Jovanotti with Niuiorcherubini, the new album recorded in just six days of sessions in New York in October 2025 – thirteen songs born live, without editing, corrections or overdubs – which also takes third place among vinyl records.
Chart of Christmas-driven singles: behind Wham! and Maria Carey, here is Bobby Helms with Jingle Bell Rock, Brenda Lee with Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and Dean Martin with Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!.
