Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" is #1 Again for a Third Nonconsecutive Week
Brenda Lee's classic holiday standard, "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" jumped back to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. This is her third non-consecutive week atop the chart, first hitting No. 1 in December for the first time, 65 years after its release. It became the icon's third Hot 100 No. 1, and her first since 1960.
"As I celebrate this with my fans and everyone who has supported me over the years, I really wish I could celebrate with Johnny Marks, who wrote the song, and Owen Bradley, who brilliantly produced 'Rockin','" she said in a statement when the tune stayed at the top of the chart for its second week near the end of last year. "The song has truly stood the test of time and I am so grateful that this has become my signature song. As I always say, Keep on Rockin'!"
For the song's 65th anniversary, the Country and Rock And Roll Hall of Famer released the first ever music video for "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," featuring cameos by country stars Tanya Tucker and Trisha Yearwood. She also released a new EP, A Rockin' Christmas with Brenda Lee, featuring "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" and other holiday favorites including "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," "Jingle Bell Rock" "A Marshmallow World" and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," reimagined by Filous.
According to Billboard, "Rockin'" is just the third holiday No. 1 ever on the Hot 100, with all three having led for multiple weeks. "The Chipmunk Song," by The Chipmunks with David Seville, also from 1958, spent four weeks on top beginning that December and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," released in 1994, has spent 14 weeks at No. 1.
