CHART NOTES
Brenda Lee tops this 2023 revival of the weekly Christmas Top 20 with her #1 hit "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". This 1958 record was released when Brenda Lee was only 13 years old. Over the years and decades following, the song has become one of the standard, recurring Christmas holiday songs.
Brenda Lee has been one of my favorite singers since I was a kid. Among her well known hits are "Sweet Nothins'", "I'm Sorry," "I Want to Be Wanted", "Break It to Me Gently" and "Fool #1".
This year a new video for "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" featuring the now 78-year-old singer was released and is presented below.

CHART NOTES: I love Brenda Lee, her voice, her hits and the many years of music she has given us. Everyone knows "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", which once again is the #1 holiday hit on this chart.
Let me tell you, that you should all take a deep dive into her back catalog. She has more Christmas hits, two other #1 hits and many other songs that were huge back in the day. Her second album Brenda Lee is her best album ever. It came out in 1960 and features three top 40 hits: "Sweet Nothins'", "I'm Sorry" (#1), and "That's All You Gotta Do." Most of the songs are just pure rock n roll joy. One of my favorites is "My Baby Likes Western Guys." The audio with the album art is below... I've been listening to the Brenda Lee album ever since the original vinyl landed in our family back in the 1960s.
Here is a recent interview Brenda Lee had with iHeart Radio talking about "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
