Justin Bieber goes odds-on for Christmas number one

John Hill | 19.12.2015

Justin Bieber is the new odds-on favourite at 4-9 with leading bookmaker Coral to top the UK singles charts on Christmas Day following a gamble behind one of the world’s biggest pop stars. The NHS Choir sit second best in the betting at 13-8, while One Direction are 12-1, having been as big as 100-1 just a couple days ago.

“We’ve already seen two or three gambles on who will top the UK single charts on Christmas Day but the market now suggests Justin Bieber is in pole position to do so with competition from the NHS Choir and One Direction,” said Coral’s John Hill.
