00:02 Oh, it's definitely that time of the year,

00:04 as Mariah reminded us.

00:05 But even though everybody increases

00:07 the spins on their Yuletide playlist

00:09 every year during the holidays, only three Christmas tracks

00:11 have topped the Billboard Hot 100.

00:13 We tell you who in this week's "Pot Culture Rewind."

00:29 In 1958, the "Chipmunk Song" by the Chipmunks with David Seville

00:33 spent four weeks on top beginning that December.

00:36 It actually kicked off what would become the multimillion

00:39 dollar Alvin and the Chipmunks brand

00:40 and went on to win three Grammy Awards.

00:43 [MUSIC - "CHIPMUNKS, CHIPMUNKS"]

00:48 When you say Queen of Christmas, only one name comes to mind.

00:51 Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas

00:53 Is You" first topped the chart in 2019.

00:55 [MUSIC - "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU"]

01:02 It was her record extending 19th number one song, the most

01:06 for any solo artist.

01:07 Thank you to everyone who has allowed this song to be

01:10 part of their holiday soundtrack each year.

01:13 And just this year, only the third holiday song

01:15 has ever reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

01:18 And it was Brenda Lee with "Rockin'

01:20 Around the Christmas Tree."

01:21 [MUSIC - "ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE"]

01:24 This comes 65 years after the song's release in 1958.

01:28 And with Brenda 78 years young, she's

01:30 become the senior most artist to top the chart.

01:33 Cheers, Miss Lee.
