Tom’s It Can’t Be Christmas is one of Amazon Music’s new festive releases for 2024.
The song first entered the Top 40 two weeks ago reaching Number 25, before climbing to Number 6 on last Friday’s chart.
The move marks the performer's comeback and he could be successful as last year's Amazon song reached number two.
Tom will be hoping to beat Amazon's previous star Sam Ryder's tune You're Christmas To Me.
Amazon has had a strong of successful Christmas marketing campaign featuring UK-based pop stars.
In 2019, Ellie Goulding's cover of Joni Mitchell's River, topped the charts.
And the shopping giant has a secret weapon up its sleeve.
They plan to paly it to all customers who have Alexa devices meaning streams will go through the roof.

And this is not the first time Tom and Amazon have teamed up.
The online shopping platform will be hoping they will have another success on their hands following the viral success of Tom's Gillette song, The Best A Man Can Get.
The jingle has now proved so popular that the performer includes it in his gig setlists.
A source told the publication: 'Tom and Amazon signed their deal last month for him to be the voice of their big Christmas ad campaign.
'As with Gillette, Tom is recording a song for the adverts, which fans will be able to hear when they kick off the campaign.
Tom recently revealed he has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after years of being 'unable to focus' in his childhood (pictured in 2023)

'It's really catchy and will definitely become an ear worm for anyone who listens to it.'
They added that Amazon has been trying to sign up as many stars as possible to boost its adverts and is confident that this year they'll reach number one.
The professional highs have come with some personal difficulties for Tom who recently opened up about his ADHD diagnosis.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
Speaking on Russell Howard's Wonderbox podcast, which releases Wednesday, Tom said he has been working with famed producer Justin Tranter, who has worked with Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.
About his new album, Tom shared: 'I've been in the US writing my new album and it's been amazing. We've gone deep. It's about my struggle with different aspects of my life, whether it's alcohol or drugs. I've opened up about my life, from being a kid to now, family and relationships.'
In June, Tom admitted he found himself in a 'sinking hole' as he opened up about his mental health.
The hitmaker, who has always been candid about his struggles, told how he began to write music as a way of expressing his feelings.
Speaking to broadcaster Roman Kemp for mental health charity YoungMinds, Tom said: 'Something dramatically happened to me where I just found myself in this sinking hole.
'I couldn't get out of bed, I thought the whole world was against me. I thought I wasn't good enough, I never had been somebody who would talk about my feelings, especially to my friends and not to my parents, either.
'So then I started to just write little notes in a notepad and then picked up a guitar.'
