Bieber has rallied behind the single, tweeting this week: "I'm hearing this UK Christmas race is close... but the @Choir--NHS single is for charity. So...
"So for 1 week it's ok not to be #1. Let's do the right thing & help them win. It's Christmas. @Choir--NHS good luck."
Bieber added: "This is what it's all about. Merry Christmas :)"
The 21-year-old has seen huge success with his latest album, Purpose.
The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir's single A Bridge Over You has been closing the gap behind Bieber's Love Yourself.
he NHS Choir's single will go to charities including Carers UK and Mind.
It is the closest Christmas Number One race since 2009, when Rage Against The Machine's single Killing In The Name was pitted against The X Factor winner Joe McElderry's The Climb.
Barring a last-minute surge, this year's X Factor winner Louisa Johnson is unlikely to have a look-in for the Christmas Number One.
Martin Talbot, chief executive of the Official Charts Company, said: "As well as climaxing on Christmas Day for just the fourth time in history, this year's race for the festive Number One is looking like one of the closest ever."
The race finished at midnight on Christmas Eve, with the result set to be announced by 1pm on Christmas Day.
