Andy williams 12 days of christmas11/21/2023 One of those 12, his 1963 album Days of Wine and Roses and Other TV Requests, spent 16 weeks at number one and comes in at number five on the list of the top albums released in the 1960s in terms of Billboard chart performance. Between studio, Christmas, and compilation albums he had 37 entries on the pop albums chart in Billboard magazine with 12 of those making the top 10. Three of those recipients went on to reach one million in sales, for which they were awarded Platinum certification. William Bultez is a broadcast journalism major from Idaho.Andy Williams recorded 43 studio albums, 17 of which (along with the 1970 compilation Andy Williams' Greatest Hits) received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 500,000 units. It will be interesting to see how Mariah Carey could come to dominate the field of Christmas music in years to come. Thus we have the three most popular Christmas songs of all time, each leading different categories and appealing to different audiences. With the most Spotify streams and digital sales of any Christmas single, “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey is the highest trending Christmas single.Īnd with the most physical sales of any single ever recorded and one of the most covered songs of all time, “White Christmas” is both the most prolific Christmas single and most common copyrighted Christmas tune. With the most covers of any Christmas song and being the fourth most covered song of all time, “Silent Night” is the most popular Christmas hymn and most common Christmas tune. We’re left with a rock, paper, scissors game involving “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “White Christmas” and “Silent Night,” none of which being truly able to win outright.īut with this data, we can come to our final conclusions. It’s also worth noting that of the top 10 streamed Spotify Christmas songs, “White Christmas” has been covered more than all of them combined. If “White Christmas” had been in the public domain for as long as “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night,” it almost certainly would have had thousands of more covers, possibly placing it above “Silent Night” and higher in the all-time list. The old age of “White Christmas” does not put it at a disadvantage here as the newest most-covered Christmas song is “Blue Christmas,” which was released in 1964 but with only seven thousand covers.Īccording to Stacker, “White Christmas” is actually the 11th most covered song of all time, beaten only by “Silent Night,” “Summertime” by Helen Jepson, and eight Beatles - or Beatles members - songs. (Editor’s note: data accurate as of December 2015) ![]() That’s right it’s “White Christmas.” Most-covered Christmas songs on Spotify Want to guess the most covered non-public domain Christmas song? But it is in the public domain, meaning it is free to cover and use for profit. “Silent Night,” however, is the most common Christmas tune with 26,496 covers on Spotify. Considering most Christmas songs are not original, many older Christmas songs are used again and again in newer albums. I have not taken covers into consideration yet. But does that make it the most popular Christmas song of all time? So in terms of single sales and streams, “All I Want for Christmas is You” is the clear winner, in at least more recent years. “White Christmas” sulks in a meager 13th place and as far as Spotify streams, it’s in ninth place. According to their Holiday 100 chart, “All I Want for Christmas is You” has been the uncontested number one for many years. Since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital music sales in June 2003, Mariah Carey has sold over three million downloads of her Christmas behemoth, over twice as much as the runner up, “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24.” As far as digital downloads, Bing Cosby’s “White Christmas” doesn’t even make the top ten. The mean doesn’t represent actual sales per year, but it does mean “All I Want for Christmas is You” is on track with “White Christmas,” especially considering the rise of digital downloads and fall of physical copies in recent years. In fact, “White Christmas” has only sold about three times as many copies in about three times as many years. The Christmas Queen is still in 11th place on this list, but because Bing Cosby’s hit was released in 1942, it has had more time to sell copies. By comparison, “All I Want for Christmas is You” has only sold an estimated 16 million copies since its 1994 release. Here’s another try: according to the Guinness World Records, Bing Cosby’s “White Christmas” is not only the most sold Christmas single of all time, but it is actually the most sold single of all time with over 50 million physical copies sold. “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” ![]() “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”
