2. Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (No. 3)
3. Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (No. 5)
4. Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” (No. 10)
On the Billboard 200 chart, Michael Bublé’s “Christmas” (No. 7) and Bing Crosby’s “Ultimate Christmas” (No. 9) are the only festive albums making an appearance, with Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” holding strong at No. 1 for a 16th non-consecutive week.
