LadBaby are on track to make history by bagging their FOURTH consecutive Christmas No.1 with their parody of Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s Merry Christmas

LadBaby are on track to make history by bagging their fourth consecutive Christmas number one. 

The new song, Sausage Rolls For Everyone, is their tongue-in-cheek take of Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s No.1 festive hit Merry Christmas, which benefits The Trussell Trust, whose mission is to end hunger and poverty in the UK. 

The parody has been at the top spot on the iTunes download chart all week, with a second version featuring the Foodbank Choir boosting sales even further.  

Exciting: LadBaby are on track to make history by bagging their FOURTH consecutive Christmas No.1 – with their parody of Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s Merry Christmas

If snatching the sought-after number one for the fourth year running, LadBaby would exceed records set by The Beatles and Spice Girls.      

Last week, LadBaby snuck Bad Habits hitmaker Ed and Sir Elton past the paparazzi in their new Christmas music video in an attempt to set records with a fourth Christmas No.1.

The video for Sausage Rolls For Everyone, which was released last Friday, stars Ed and Elton wearing sausage roll costumes to hide themselves from photographers.

Hilarious: Last week, LadBaby snuck Bad Habits hitmaker Ed and Sir Elton past the paparazzi in their new Christmas music video in an attempt to set records with a fourth Christmas No.1

This is the fourth time LadBaby has released a Christmas single with past tracks including We Built This City on Sausage Rolls (2018), I Love Sausage Rolls (2019) and Don’t Stop Me Eatin’ (2020) – which all reached the top spot.    

Ed can be seen joining Mark and Rox Hoyle (LadBaby) in full song whilst playing a sausage roll guitar in a sausage roll Christmas jumper and sausage roll Santa hat.   

Elton joins the fun too, belting out the track from a decorated piano in Christmas glasses with some secret sausage roll socks tucked into his trademark glitter-platforms.

With the long awaited release of Sausage Rolls for Everyone, William Hill has made them 1-8 favourites to reach the festive top spot.

Mark and Rox said of the new release: ‘Trying to keep this video under wraps was so hard, so when you see us bundling Ed and Elton into the studio dressed as sausage rolls, that was a genuine ploy to try and keep everything secret!

‘But behind the hilarity, the reason for making the track is to raise as much money as we possibly can for the Trussell Trust. 

‘Please do not assume that just because we’ve convinced some big music industry names to help sing on the track that we will hit #1 without your help. 

‘We need EVERYONE to download the track and help us try and make history! We HAVE to do whatever it takes to build a future where all of us can afford to go to sleep with a full stomach.’

Elton said of the experience: ‘LadBaby are just the nicest people in the world, and they raise so much money each and every year for The Trussell Trust. 

‘It’s really important that people download and stream this record so that people who need the support can have a meal this Christmas.’ 

Meanwhile Ed said: ‘I’m proud to be supporting and featuring on LadBaby’s very fun rework of Merry Christmas. 

‘All profits will be donated to The Trussell Trust which is a very wonderful and important charity, so make sure you stream it, buy it and play it on repeat.’  

The Trussell Trust provides emergency food parcels to people living in crisis and is expected to hand out more than 7000 emergency food parcels a day this December.

Emma Revie, Chief Executive Officer at the Trussell Trust said: ‘Everyone in the UK should be able to afford the essentials – to buy their own food and heat their homes. 

‘Yet food banks in our network continue to see more and people being pushed deeper into poverty as they face giving out 7,000 food parcels a day this December.

‘We are so grateful to LadBaby for their incredible support for a fourth year running.’
