'Tis the season, and even Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart is getting in the holiday spirit. Billboard reports they usually see a yearly spike in holiday-themed tunes on their AC chart following Thanksgiving, and this year is no different.
Seal's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" entered the chart at No. 18, closely followed by Gwen Stefani's "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" at No. 19. Tenor Russell Watson's "Do You Hear What I Hear" appeared at the No. 21 position, while Five For Fighting's "Christmas Where You Are," featuring Jim Brickman, landed at No. 24.
The band 98 Degrees' "Season of Love" came in at No. 25, marking their first Adult Contemporary chart hit since 2001. And of course, holiday music mainstay Mariah Carey lands on the chart at No. 28 with "The Star," followed by violinist Lindsey Stirling's "Christmas C'mon," featuring Becky G, hit No. 29.
These seven holiday classics join the four seasonal songs already on the charts, which have moved up in their ranking. These include Sia's "Santa's Coming For Us" (No. 6), Kelly Clarkson's "Christmas Eve" (No.10), Josh Groban's cover of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" (No. 12),and actress Jane Lynch's "A Swingin' Little Christmas," featuring Kate Flannery and Tim Davis ( No. 16).
