CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Billboard Magazine reports:

Holiday songs hang atop the Billboard Hot 100’s two highest boughs for the first time in the chart’s history, as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leads the list for a second week and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” rises from No. 3 to No. 2, reaching a new peak.

Meanwhile, a record-tying four seasonal songs rank in the Hot 100’s top 10, as Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” climbs 10-6 for a new high and Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” rolls 15-9.

Among other feats achieved last week with the Hot 100 coronation of “Christmas,” Carey collected her 19th No. 1, extending her record for the most among soloists and moving to within one of The Beatles’ record 20.
