Taylor Swift loses out to football favourites in the calendar charts

Football has proven its resilience in the world of calendars by kicking global pop favourite Taylor Swift off the top spot and turn the Danilo top 10 red, with coverage of these calendar-centric consumer buying habits appearing in national media.

The licensed calendar and card specialist’s annual league table of its top-selling products puts Liverpool’s 2025 offer at number one, leapfrogging Miss Swift to relegate her to the runners-up spot, while close behind are rival Reds Manchester United, who stay in third place, as Arsenal enter the list at number six.

Taylor had made the chart for the first time last year, swooping straight into the top spot, but couldn’t repeat the feat this year.

But music fans have shown their devotion for two oldsters with Sir Cliff Richard’s 40th edition of his annual date with fans at number eight, dropping down three places, while the Oasis reunion has made the Britpop stars a new entry at number nine.

Showing how movies and entertainment influence purchases, Disney Stitch has climbed two places to fourth, and children’s favourite Bluey appears for the first time in seventh place, The Gruffalo slips in at 10, and the recently-released Wicked is a new entry in fifth place.
