The ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ singer was beaten by Stormzy in the previous weeks chart, with the rapper at number 1 and Cliff at number 2.
Cliff said: “My album came in at two in the charts that covers Spotify and all those things but I came in at No1 on the physical chart. I’d rather be No1 but I keep saying to people, at least I’m going up – Stormzy at one, there’s only one way for him to go.”
He was then asked if he’d take part in a festive duet with Stormzy next year on Iain Dale’s All Talk podcast, Cliff said: “Why not?”
