Chart Watch Britain: Chart of December 31, 2011
- It's a second week for the Bee Gees as the biggest selling veteran artist in Britain with Number Ones falling only 24 to 29.
- The battle for the Christmas Number One single has been an event for years in Britain. Lately, a number of groups have tried to abduct that top spot through planned downloads of certain songs. One group this year tried to get Nirvanna's Smells Like Teen Spirit to number one, but they fell short of even the top 10. The most successful effort didn't make it either but Lou Monte's 1960 holiday hit Dominick the Donkey came close, jumping from 132 to number 3.
