Embrace the Joy of New Holiday Music This Season!

In the latest episode of the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, hosts Katie & Keith embark on their annual festive journey, diving into a selection of six vibrant Christmas tracks that are making waves on the Billboard charts this year. For the holiday season of 2024, they will spotlight exciting new releases including Jimmy Fallon and the Jonas Brothers’ catchy tune “Holiday”; Cher’s exhilarating remix of “DJ Play a Christmas Song” featuring Kelly Clarkson; Pentatonix’s heartwarming anthem “Meet Me Next Christmas”; Dan + Shay’s delightful track “Pick Out a Christmas Tree”; Michael Bublé and Carly Pearce’s enchanting collaboration “Maybe This Christmas”; and Jack Antonoff and Bleachers’ charming song “Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call.”

To join the festive conversation about these merry and bright songs, be sure to tune into the latest episode of the podcast.

Additionally, on this episode, listeners will be updated on the latest chart news, including Taylor Swift’s acclaimed album, The Tortured Poets Department, which has remarkably returned to the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 for an impressive 16th week. This resurgence is largely attributed to the recent CD and vinyl release of The Anthology edition, available exclusively at Target. Moreover, Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has joyfully bounced back to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, climbing from 10 to 1 for its 15th nonconsecutive week at the top. Given the song’s history of dominating the chart every holiday season, could Mariah once again claim the record for the most weeks at No. 1?
