Infamous “Rat Pack” singer Frank Sinatra is back on the charts for the first time in 56 years thanks to his version of “Jingle Bells.”
According to Billboard, the 1948 release has now hit No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, gaining 16.9 million official U.S. streams and 15.3 million all-radio listens. This is a 19% jump that boosted the song back in the spotlight.
This is the first time that Sinatra, who died in 1998, has had a hit song since 1967, as the Christmas season brings many holiday classics back into the mainstream.
This week, the Billboard Hot 100 is dominated by Christmas music from various eras. From Sinatra to Mariah Carey, the holiday season is proving that no matter when a Christmas song is recorded, it can always be well-received.
Classic standards like “Jingle Bells,” “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” and “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year” are holding steady.
