We’ve got our Holiday Hits and Dusties running all day today to get us all in the spirit of the season!
Every year when I first start hearing Christmas music in stores and on the radio, I look forward to hearing my favorites… Nat King Cole’s "The Christmas Song," Donny Hathaway’s "This Christmas," James Brown’s "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" and anything from the Charlie Brown Christmas album. (fight me! LOL)
And I must not be the only one, because Billboard started their Holiday 100 chart back in 2011 to track the most popular songs every year. Here’s where some of our V103 favorites ranked at the end of the last holiday season:
#84 Boyz II Men – Let It Snow
#83 Run DMC – Christmas in Hollis
#75 The Temptations – Silent Night
#54 Donny Hathaway – This Christmas
#47 Jackson 5 – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
#44 Jackson 5 – Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town
#40 The Drifters – White Christmas
#36 Darlene Love – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
#31 Chuck Berry – Run Rudolph Run
#29 Eartha Kitt – Santa Baby
#7 Jose Feliciano – Feliz Navidad
#4 Nat King Cole – The Christmas Song
#1 Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You
Whether it brings back all your best memories or even a tear to your eye... what’s your favorite holiday song that you can’t wait to hear every year?
