Wrap Your Head Around THIS:
Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” just hit #1 . . . for the first time since it was released 65 years ago! That’s a record. At 78, Brenda is also the oldest artist to reach the top of the Hot 100. Brenda was 13 when she recorded “Rockin'”, and it came out in 1958. It peaked at #14 in 1960, then spent nine weeks at #2 between December of 2019 and the 2022 holiday season. Four more holiday classics occupy the Top 10 this week . . .
- Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (#4)
- Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (#5)
- Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” (#6)
- And Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (#10).
