All I know is that there's a new Josh Groban single on it.
Look for Clay Aiken's Merry Christmas With Love to top this chart next week.
The Care Bears have a Christmas album?!?

Heard LeAnn Rimes' Christmas album was really good- i guess cos her voice is fantastic for big ballads!

Question: James Taylor released a Christmas album this year, to be sold exclusively at Hallmark. I had heard that Hallmark would be reporting to Soundscan for the first time, and that Hallmark had ordered 1 million copies of his Christmas album, with expectations of strong sales. Yet...the album isn't charting on Billboard. I'm assuming that Hallmark isn't reporting to Soundscan, after all? Does anyone know what happened?

It's great to see BeBe Winan's My Christmas Prayer on there. It is being sold exclusively at Starbucks, so they must be reporting it. I saw that it is sold out on the website. Oprah showcased this CD on her "My favorite things" show last month.

DK what the other holiday charts were for 2004, but Clay's "Merry Christmas With Love" was the #1-selling holiday album for 2004, selling over 1 million copies in 6 weeks. James Taylor's Hallmark-exclusive Christmas album ($6 with purchase of 3 cards) also sold 1 million, but it was not SoundScan eligible because of the exclusive deal with Hallmark.
