Christmas movie recalled number ones from Eminem and Taylor Swift (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'swift' is the definition.
(I know that swift can be written as fleet)

'christmas movie recalled number ones from eminem and taylor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'movie' could be 'et' and 'et' is present in the answer.
'number' could be 'l' (L is an example) and 'l' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'fe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fleet that I've seen before include "ships, lots of them" , "fast is observed" , "good turn of speed" , "vehicles owned by a company" , "Fast-moving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
