Elvis Still Top-Selling USA Christmas Album
This is the 32nd holiday season since Elvis went to trim that big Christmas tree in the sky, but he still has the most popular holiday album of all time. Elvis' Christmas Album, originally released in 1957, has sold more than 12 million copies.
Presley's album logged three weeks at #1 in December 1957, before surrendering the top spot to Bing Crosby's holiday perennial Merry Christmas. But Elvis returned to #1 the following week, in what seemed very much like a passing of the torch-or in this case, a Christmas candle. The Bing-to-Elvis hand-off represented a move from old to young, from Tin Pan Alley to rock'n'roll, from "White Christmas" to "Blue Christmas." Christmas albums have been an integral part of the holidays for more than 60 years but there is no authoritative list of the most popular Christmas albums of all time. This list is based on a combination of Nielsen/SoundScan sales figures and RIAA. Three of the top 20 holiday albums were released before 1960. Bing Crosby's 'Merry Christmas', the forerunner before renaming to 'White Christmas', was issued in 1945. These are the USA most popular Christmas albums of all time:
