Bill Haley ~ Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree

[bookgeekgrrl]

the slowest-climbing chart-topper ever

the oldest living person to score a No. 1 song in America

the longest gap between career chart-toppers

the Hot 100’s first-ever septuagenarian chart-topper, but with a song she recorded at age 13

Brenda Lee 🎶 Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

[denimbex1986]

'Christmas has come early in the UK charts as almost three quarters of songs in the top 40 are festive tunes.

Wham!'s Last Christmas has topped the singles chart for the fourth time, followed by Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You in second place.

A week after the death of The Pogues singer Shane MacGowan, Fairytale of New York has risen to number four.

It still has time to reach the top spot for the first time, with two weeks until Christmas number one is revealed.

Released in 1987 and featuring Kirsty MacColl, the track originally peaked at number two, being narrowly beaten to festive first place by the Pet Shop Boys' Always On My Mind.

In total, there are eight festive songs in this week's top 10, including Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree at number six, and Ed Sheeran and Elton John's hit Merry Christmas at number seven.

Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Andrew Ridgeley, one half of Wham!, said it felt like "Christmas has indeed come early" and he was "delighted that Last Christmas has once again reached the zenith of the Official Singles Chart".

George Michael and Ridgeley's 1984 festive song broke a record in 2021 for the longest time taken to reach number one.

It reached the top spot for a second time in 2022, and for a third at the very beginning of 2023.

It has never been number one in Christmas week itself, however. But that could change this year after YouTubers and charity fundraisers LadBaby - who have had the Christmas number one for five years in a row - decided not to enter the 2023 race.

The 28 festive songs in the top 40 include Ariana Grande's Santa Tell Me at 11, Michael Bublé's Holly Jolly Christmas at 21 and Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody at number 39 on the 50th anniversary of its release...'

Michael Kamen's 1988 classic Christmas album "Die Hard: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" is RIGHT THERE if you wanted ACTUAL Christmas music written by a Jewish man

HI. THIS IS YOUR ANNUAL REMINDER THAT HALLELUJAH BY LEONARD COHEN IS IN NO WAY A CHRISTMAS SONG, IN FACT IT'S VERY JEWISH. DON'T BUMP IT UNLESS YOU MEAN BUSINESS

It’s a Christmas miracle! 65 years after its release, Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has finally hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart! To clarify: for years, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has always kept “Rockin’” in second place – until this week’s charts. Now let’s make Lee’s “I’m Gonna Lasso Santa Claus” number one next year!
