Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' Makes Historic No. 1 Comeback

Brenda Lee's iconic Christmas song "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," released in 1958, has reached No 1 on the US Hot 100 chart, 65 years after its release. The song, written by Johnny Marks, gained popularity after being featured in the film Home Alone in 1990 and has since charted every year. At 78, Lee is now the oldest person to top the US chart, breaking records previously held by Louis Armstrong and Mariah Carey. The song has become Lee's signature hit, overshadowing her other chart successes, and is only the third seasonal song to top the UK chart.
