First up among this powerful trio is Bobby Helms, who sees his Christmas standard “Jingle Bell Rock” lift to No. Another beloved holiday classic, Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” also reaches the top 10 for the first time, lifting two spots to No. The popular song becomes Lee’s lucky thirteenth such success on the Hot 100, and her first in over half a century. Singer and voice actor Burl Ives sees his holiday favorite “Holly Jolly Christmas” lift to No. “Holly Jolly Christmas” also had to wait over 50 years between its first date on the chart and its first inside the top 10.
