We can discuss both the albums/digital charts in this thread. Billboard has published its first holiday albums chart of the season (dated Oct. 22, 2011).
The top 25 is as follows. Billboard.com doesn't list a 24, but does list 25 and 26, so I just adjusted the numbers to fit 25 (not sure if it actually is missing No. 24).
1*- David Crowder Band, Oh For Joy (EP) 2*- tobyMac, Christmas In Diverse City 3*- Chicago, O Christmas Tree 4*- Various Artists, WOW Christmas: 32 Christian Artists and Holiday Songs 5*- Matthew West, Heart Of Christmas 6*- Various Artists, Seasons Greetings: A Jersey Boys Christmas 7*- Kutless, This Is Christmas (EP) 8*- Soundtrack, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (28 total weeks charted) 9*- Various Artists, Hope Is Born 10*- Jackie Evancho, O Holy Night (EP) (8 total weeks) 11*- Mormon Tabernacle Choir/Orchestra At Temple Square Feat. David Archuleta With Michael York, Glad Christmas Tidings 12*- Frank Sinatra, A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra (14 total weeks) 13*- Various Artists, Nightmare Revisited (25 total weeks) 14*- Soundtrack, Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album (8 total weeks) 15*- Phil Wickham, Songs For Christmas 16*- Susan Boyle, The Gift (9 total weeks) 17*- Vince Guaraldi Trio A Charlie Brown Christmas (Soundtrack) (182 total weeks) 18*- Travis Cottrell, Ring The Bells (3 total weeks) 19*- Various Artists, NOW CHRISTMAS 4 20*- MercyMe, The Christmas Sessions (19 total weeks) 21*- Josh Groban, Noel (59 total weeks) 22*- Andrea Bocelli, My Christmas (14 total weeks) 23*- The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, A Brooklyn Tabernacle Christmas (7 total weeks) 24*- The Canadian Tenors, The Perfect Gift (7 total weeks) 25*- Celtic Thunder, Christmas (12 total weeks)

Playing Christmas music on the radio 2 and a half months before Christmas is obscene.

^These are sales, not airplay. :)
A number of AC stations turn to all-holiday music in November. Pop radio doesn't really spin holiday music a lot until the last couple of weeks leading up to Christmas- and even them, it's nothing compared to the play AC radio gives holiday tunes.

Who is even buying Christmas music nearly three months before the holiday?!? The sales are not significant - none of these songs or albums show up on the main charts yet. But, still...if Billboard has deemed this is already worth tracking this early in the year, somebody is buying this now! (Worse, are these people listening to holiday tunes already?!?)

I listen to both of Mariah Carey's Xmas albums all throughout the year. I'm sure others like to listen to XMas music whenever too.

I mean, Christmas commercials start airing the week of Halloween and most start airing on November 1. This is not unusual at all.

I'm surprised that Martina McBride's album has only peaked at #6 on this chart, considering it's a big annual seller, and has sold close to 2 million copies (if not more than that by now).

2 12 Winter Song, Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson
^ This is always an interesting one to watch. It sells fairly well year-round, getting less of a boost from the season than most "Christmas songs" do, so its ranking is higher the farther we are from the holiday.

That's interesting though, I guess because it's not really a traditional Christmas song. I play it all year round, so so so so good.

The Gift re-entered on the 9/17 chart and again appeared on the 9/24 chart- those reflected sales weeks ending Sept. 3 and Sept. 10, respectively. I know SuBo was on America's Got Talent on August 31, but she sang a song from the forthcoming album (same for Dancing with the Stars this week). I guess she can sing anything and it will boost product. :) I Dreamed a Dream didn't re-enter the BB 200, though. Did she do any other sort of promo around that time?

We can discuss both the albums/digital charts in this thread. Billboard has published its first holiday albums chart of the season (dated Oct. 22, 2011). The top 25 is as follows. Billboard.com doesn't list a 24, but does list 25 and 26, so I just adjusted the numbers to fit 25 (not sure if it actually is missing No. 24). 1*- David Crowder Band, Oh For Joy (EP) 2*- tobyMac, Christmas In Diverse City 3*- Chicago, O Christmas Tree 4*- Various Artists, WOW Christmas: 32 Christian Artists and Holiday Songs 5*- Matthew West, Heart Of Christmas 6*- Various Artists, Seasons Greetings: A Jersey Boys Christmas 7*- Kutless, This Is Christmas (EP) 8*- Soundtrack, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (28 total weeks charted) 9*- Various Artists, Hope Is Born 10*- Jackie Evancho, O Holy Night (EP) (8 total weeks) 11*- Mormon Tabernacle Choir/Orchestra At Temple Square Feat. David Archuleta With Michael York, Glad Christmas Tidings 12*- Frank Sinatra, A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra (14 total weeks) 13*- Various Artists, Nightmare Revisited (25 total weeks) 14*- Soundtrack, Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album (8 total weeks) 15*- Phil Wickham, Songs For Christmas 16*- Susan Boyle, The Gift (9 total weeks) 17*- Vince Guaraldi Trio A Charlie Brown Christmas (Soundtrack) (182 total weeks) 18*- Travis Cottrell, Ring The Bells (3 total weeks) 19*- Various Artists, NOW CHRISTMAS 4 20*- MercyMe, The Christmas Sessions (19 total weeks) 21*- Josh Groban, Noel (59 total weeks) 22*- Andrea Bocelli, My Christmas (14 total weeks) 23*- The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, A Brooklyn Tabernacle Christmas (7 total weeks) 24*- The Canadian Tenors, The Perfect Gift (7 total weeks) 25*- Celtic Thunder, Christmas (12 total weeks) 40 24 0 2 VeggieTales: O Holy Night: Journey Of A Little Drummer Boy, Various Artists 24

Thanks for posting- and filling in last week's missing #24. :)
Holiday Songs is strictly airplay at AC stations, correct? The spins counts must be next to nothing at this point.

Coldplay managed No. 25 last year, so "Mistletoe" could challenge that, I guess (it's currently down to No. 9 on iTunes). Coldplay's single was released at the start of December last year, though.
