Their single, Wherever You Are, sold 556,000 copies in the last week, more than the rest of the top 12 combined, the Official Charts Company said.
Gareth Malone formed the group for BBC2 programme The Choir, which climaxed with the group performing at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Proceeds from the single are being donated to the Royal British Legion and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA).
The choir’s success was announced at 3pm today, during the festive edition of BBC1′s Top Of The Pops.
Malone said: “This is so surreal. Who would have guessed in those first rehearsals that we could take Christmas Number 1?
