Top 5 Christmas Songs Guaranteed to Jingle your Bells

When in search for the most popular Christmas song, the best place to go would be to the judge and grand jury of popular modern music, Billboard, for answers.

Billboard reports the fifth most popular Christmas song by plays isn’t exactly modern, but it makes up for its age in it’s popularity. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Bing Crosby released the best-selling single of all time when his baritone pipes first recorded “White Christmas.” The global sales of this hit topped 100 million worldwide.

No. 4 on Billboard’s list is Bobby Helm’s “Jingle Bell Rock,” a song which was brought back into the limelight for a younger generation during its appearance in the 2004 cult film Mean Girls.

The holidays would not be the same without No. 3 on Billboard’s lineup, “The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You),” by the legendary Nat King Cole. Another melodious baritone, Nat King Cole started his first band as a teenager, and dedicated his life to his jazz.

Our No. 2 artist on the Billboard list actually recorded her hit in her teenage years. Brenda Lee first sang “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” at the fresh age of 13. Her song was remade for the 1990 film Home Alone, which it is now commonly associated with.

At No. 1 on the Billboard Top Holiday 100 list, sits the Christmas queen herself. You guessed it, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” is the top Holiday Hit. With her exceptional vocal range, Mariah Carey is predicted to stay right on pitch with our good holiday feelings for seasons to come.

So get your music library filled with classic Christmas music tunes to get you in the holiday spirit.
