Brenda Lee has achieved a significant milestone in her legendary career, as her holiday album Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree: The Decca Christmas Recordings ascends to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (dated January 4, 2025).
The album, which surged 40% to 53,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the week of December 20-26, marks Lee’s first-ever chart-topping effort on any Billboard album ranking, including six previous top-10 appearances.
At 80 years old, Lee, a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, continues to captivate listeners with her timeless Christmas classics. The album features 18 tracks, including her iconic 1958 hit “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 during last holiday season, as well as beloved tunes like “Blue Christmas,” “I’m Gonna Lasso Santa Claus,” and “White Christmas.”
