Brenda Lee’s holiday classic “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in its 65-year history.

It’s actually her third No. 1 single (with 35 million streams and 21 million radio impressions last week) but the singer’s first since 1960.

It’s also only the third seasonal song to reach No. 1, along with Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “The Chipmunk Song” by the Chipmunks.

Did you know she was just 13 years old when she 1st recorded it? Lee’s renewed promotional efforts, including a new music video and TikTok account, finally propelled her to the top!
