Frank Sinatra album back in the top 10 after years

Frank Sinatra's 'Ultimate Christmas' album is the gift that keeps on giving this festive season. The 2017 album climbed seven places on the Billboard 200 chart to enter the top 10. 

It is the #10 album on the chart as of 4 January 2025. The last time an album from the late singer was in the top 10 was in 2012, when 'Nothing But the Best' returned to the chart.

'Ultimate Christmas' features songs such as 'I'll Be Home for Christmas', 'White Christmas', 'Mistletoe and Holly', and 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. 

Sinatra's 'Jingle Bells' with The Gordon Jenkins Orchestra also featured on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this holiday. It was sitting at #33 during the last chart recorded for 2024.

Sinatra died on 14 May 1998 at the age of 82. He suffered a heart attack. 

The music legend isn't the only artist with old music back on the charts. Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' reclaimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has now spent an impressive 17 weeks at number one since its release in 1994.

Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree', 'Wham!'s' 'Last Christmas', and 'Jingle Bell Rock' by Bobb Helms also featured in the top 10.

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' by Andy Williams, 'Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!' by Dean Martin and 'A Holly Jolly Christmas' by Burl Ives also appeared. 

The classics ruled the charts in December, but a few modern Christmas songs were also in the mix. Ariana Grande's 'Santa Tell Me' and Kelly Clarkson's 'Underneath the Tree' also made it to the top 10. 

It certainly was a merry little Christmas thanks to these holiday tunes!
