The definition of the Christmas number one single is the entry at the top of the official UK singles chart released on the Sunday before Christmas Day, or Christmas Day itself if it falls on a Sunday.
The Christmas number one formerly went most often to sentimental, Christmas-related or novelty songs - a fact parodied in the plot of the movie Love Actually - although this has become rarer in recent years.
The race for the Christmas number-one of 2002 was focussed on by the British ITV television programme Popstars: the Rivals, a reality TV show that formed an all-male and an all-female pop group - One True Voice and Girls Aloud respectively - and made them compete for the Christmas number-one spot.

 Alabama | Biography | MTV
Nevertheless, the single's performance was an indication that Alabama was one of the most popular bands in the Southeast; at the end of the decade, the band was playing over 300 shows a year.
Produced by Harold Shedd, the song began a remarkable streak of 21 number one hits (interrupted by the 1982 holiday single "Christmas in Dixie"), which ran until 1987; after one number seven hit, the streak resumed for another six singles, resulting in a total of 27 number one singles during the decade.
Taken alone, the amount of chart-topping singles is proof of Alabama's popularity, but the band also won numerous awards, had seven multi-platinum albums, and crossed over to the pop charts nine times during the '80s.
