He's going up against Stormzy in the Christmas number one race and already has four under his belt. 

And Sir Cliff Richard, 81, discussed his competition during an interview on This Morning on Tuesday, saying: 'I don't know Stormzy.' 

'I'm going up against the most popular artist today, and I'm still able to compete. I'm really happy about it. I don't know Stormzy. I should say "may the best man win' but I won't in case he does".

When asked why he wanted to do a Christmas album, called Christmas With Cliff, now, he said: 'This is the time to sell records. This is the right time. It felt right again. Christmas comes every year and you could become a bore.'

Christmas With Cliff marks the legend's first dedicated Christmas album in 19 years and will be been issued in chart eligible ‘magazine format’, for the first time in his eight decade career. 

Featuring the full 13 track CD and a 20-page magazine dedicated to the album and Cliff’s love of Christmas, this unique chart eligible format brings albums back to supermarket shelves for the first time since they phased out CD’s from July 2021.
