Brenda Lee’s holiday classic “Rockin Around The Christmas Tree” remains at No. 1 for a second week on the Billboard Hot 100. The song reached #1 last week, 65 years after its release, to become Lee’s third Hot 100 No. 1 single, and the now 79-year-old singer’s first since 1960.
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” repeats at No. 2 on the Hot 100, followed by Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” at No. 3 and Wham!’s “Last Christmas” at No. 4. The only modern song in this week’s top five, Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me,” slipped down again, two weeks after it became his third No. 1 hit.
Carey, who usually leads the charts this time of year, sent Lee a congratulatory flower arrangement with a handwritten note.
Thank you for your sweet note, @MariahCarey! Wishing you the merriest Christmas, too! 💕 -Brenda pic.twitter.com/Md0w7vQYpc
