Global pop superstar Anne-Marie is officially kicking off the holiday season with a joyous new release: a vibrant cover of Slade's iconic 1973 Christmas smash, 'Merry Xmas Everybody'.
Injecting her signature energy and contemporary pop flair into the quintessential festive anthem, Anne-Marie delivers a fresh, uplifting rendition that’s guaranteed to be the soundtrack to the holiday celebrations. On the track, she says, “My favourite time of year is here!!! Christmas lights, decorations, family, gifts, Yorkshire puddings and Christmas songs. What a privilege to cover this beautiful nostalgic classic. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.”
Continuing the festive theme, Anne-Marie will also be taking to the stage at The O2 for this year’s Capital Jingle Bell Ball this Saturday (December 6).

Anne-Marie’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. A former three-time world karate champion and West End child star, Anne-Marie has become a multi-platinum selling artist and one of the UK’s most-loved pop stars. Her pop CV includes eight Top 10 singles and three Top 3 albums, with her debut album, Speak Your Mind, ending 2018 as the UK’s biggest-selling debut artist.
The 34-year-old has earned a total of ten BRIT Award nominations and is the co-writer behind a swarm of classic hits, including ‘Ciao Adios’, ‘Friends’, ‘2002’ and the global number one smash hit ‘Rockabye’ with Clean Bandit. She has also used her platform as a coach on The Voice UK to connect with and inspire a new generation of artists.
Beyond her work in music, Anne-Marie has become a multifaceted public figure and a passionate advocate for mental health. This is a cause she has championed through her YouTube documentary, How to be Anne-Marie, and by fronting ITV’s “Britain Get Talking” campaign. In 2021, she also released her debut book, the Sunday Times ‘Best Seller’ You Deserve Better. Part memoir and part practical self-help guide, the book drew on her own experiences to help readers tackle life’s challenges. As an official ambassador for Mind Charity, The Princes Trust, and the Trussell Trust, she uses her platform to raise awareness and support for important social causes.
