Members of the UK YouTube group Sidemen took to their socials to celebrate reaching third place in the official UK Singles Charts this week. For those unaware, the group created a couple of parody songs for Christmas, as part of their challenge in a YouTube video.

Christmas Drillings, which featured vocals from fellow members JJ "KSI," Vik "Vikkstar123," Tobi "TBJZL," and UK rapper Jaime "JME," ended up entering the top three spots in the Official Charts, only behind LadBaby's Food Aid and Wham's Last Christmas, who are ranked one and two respectively.

It should be noted that all proceeds from the sale of the song have gone to FareShare, a charitable organization focusing on the hunger problem. Reacting to the group's accomplishments, KSI wrote:
