BBC Radio Christmas Launch 2015 - Radio 1

For the first time ever on a Friday, BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James will be announcing the Christmas Number 1 live on The Official Chart Show. This will be the first time the Christmas Number 1 has been announced on a Friday since moving from its Sunday slot, and Greg’s first time announcing it. The three-hour show will include a rundown of all the Christmas contenders, as well as chats with artists to help listeners celebrate the family festivities.

Greg James says: "It's the biggest chart of the year, and it's worth delaying my entire family's Christmas celebrations for! I love being the Official Chart host, and I’m so excited that I’ll be announcing the Christmas number 1 LIVE on Christmas day."

Listeners at home will be able to enjoy the show live on Radio 1, via mobile and the BBC iPlayer Radio app.

Christmas Day, 10.00am–1pm
Producers: Sarah Bailey and Aled Jones for the BBC
