The National Health Service Choir has beaten Justin Bieber to capture Britain's official Christmas No. 1 song - and he's OK with that.

The Canadian pop star's Love Yourself was ahead earlier this week - but then Bieber tweeted that he wanted fans to boost the charity single to the coveted spot.

The choir's mash-up A Bridge Over You finished nearly 31,000 copies ahead of Bieber in the singles competition - although he still commands three of the top five spots.
