Here is an abstract from Billboard’s latest article on Holiday music:
They are the gifts that keep on giving for the artists that record them, the labels that release them and the radio stations and streaming services that play them. The first chart is the top 25 Christmas songs that dominated the radio from Nov. 27, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2013, according to Nielsen BDS, and the chart below that is the 25 best-selling holiday albums since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.
No. 3 — Merry Christmas, Mariah Carey: Carey didn’t just create a contemporary standard with the hit holiday single off this 1994 album, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.†The track is also the best-selling holiday ringtone. In 2012, the RIAA announced it was the first seasonal ringtone to go double platinum — more than 2 million downloads.
You can download or stream Merry Christmas or All I Want For Christmas Is You from: iTunes | Amazon | Google Play | Spotify | Deezer
