Frank Sinatra Returns To Top 10 Music Chart After More Than A Decade With Christmas Tunes

Music legend Frank Sinatra has returned to the top 10 music chart after more than a decade with his “Ultimate Christmas” holiday compilation album.

The singer’s Christmas album has become Sinatra’s 33rd top 10 album on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, the most ever for any solo male singer, Billboard reported. 

The compilation of Sinatra’s classic Christmas songs includes “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” and “The Christmas Song,” among many others.

The holiday album ended up climbing from the 17th spot to number 10 on the chart for the week ending January 4, 2025, the outlet noted. It marks Sinatra’s first crack into the top ten chart since August 2012. The legendary singer died in 1998.

The album debuted in 2017 and ended up reaching the top 10 in its 52nd week on the chart, after it previously peaked in the number 12 spot.

Legendary crooner Bing Crosby — who passed away in 1977 — also saw an uptick on the Billboard album chart with his own “Ultimate Christmas” album this holiday, when it went from the 6th spot to number 3, the first top-charting effort since his “Merry Christmas” ranked number 2 on the chart on Jan. 5, 1959, the outlet noted.

In 2023, it was Brenda Lee’s turn to move up the music charts when her classic Christmas song “‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” finally topped the Billboard music chart — 65 years after the song was recorded in 1958.

Lee’s 1960 rocking holiday song danced its way to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart for the week ending November 30, 2023, Billboard noted.

The classic Christmas tune — written by Johnny Marks and produced by Owen Bradley — first hit the Hot 100 (at No. 64) in the chart dated Dec. 12, 1960, the outlet noted. Two weeks later, the festive song peaked at No. 14 and it finally moved up the chart in 2019 where it spent nine weeks at No. 2 from December 2019 to Dec. 2022. It then scored a huge win last year when it became the 1,161st No. 1 in the Hot 100’s archives.

The song gave Lee her third number one song on the Hot 100 chart after she notched her first two 65 years earlier with “I’m Sorry,” dated July 18, 1960, and “I Want To Be Wanted” on Oct. 24, 1960, Billboard magazine noted.
