We scoured every Pop chart … every R&B chart … every Country chart …every Adult Contemporary chart … every Rock Tracks chart … every Dance/Disco Club Play chart … every Jazz chart … every Kid chart … every Bubbling Under chart … every Catalog chart … and, of course, every Christmas/Holiday chart … to fill this book with charted holiday classics cover to cover. If it’s about Christmas and it made the charts – any Billboard chart – it’s here! Nothing warms the heart more than a familiar Christmas song, be it a sacred hymn – “O Holy Night,” “The First Noel” or “Silent Night” – or a secular favorite – “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” or “White Christmas” – and Christmas In The Charts 1920-2004 covers them all. For merry measure, we’ve also listed every chart hit that could be classified as a seasonal song about “Winter,” “Snow” or “Cold December Days,” including titles such as “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and “Winter World Of Love.” Also listed are all New Year’s-related chart hits – for example, “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” and “It’s Just Another New Year’s Eve.”
