Congratulations – and celebrations – to Cliff Richard as he lines up his 47th calendar at 83 – another one likely to leave Harry Styles’s sales in The Shadows.
The evergreen pop veteran has been releasing his annual poses since 1979 and regularly outsells the likes of the former One Direction star and Taylor Swift.
Sir Cliff’s 2025 shots were all taken either at his Barbados home or aboard a cruise.
February sees him posing in youthful check shorts with elephant statues in his garden, while August shows him clutching a cocktail on a liner.
And although he disappointed fans in 2022 by announcing he had posed for his last topless shot, there’s a hint of racier times in his October 2025 pool picture.
The Young Ones singer said: ‘All the pictures in my 2025 official licensed calendar were taken, once again, by Robin Williams at my home in Barbados and when on a wonderful cruise earlier this year.
‘I just love being in or on the water. I find it calming and relaxing after a busy schedule has finished, and it clears my mind to make plans for future projects.’
Sir Cliff’s total calendar sales since 1979 are reportedly around the £2million mark – beating those of David Beckham.
His 2022 release was the best-selling of any music star’s calendar, according to Calendar Club, which had Elvis Presley in second, followed by Styles.
Danilo Promotions, which tracks sales of all calendars, put Sir Cliff’s 2024 in fourth, with Ms Swift top. Styles didn’t make the top five.
