The Top Christmas Music

Nov 25, 2014 by Mark Maier

All Access released an article titled "What Are The Top-30 Christmas Song In Your Format?" and the list is pretty interesting...

"The folks at PINNACLE MEDIA WORLDWIDE have compiled the top-30 in various formats, including Top 40, Hot AC, AC, Urban and Country.

Pres./CEO BOB LAWRENCE notes, “It’s just amazing how the classics remain the classics over multiple generations and decades. Even as artists create new CHRISTMAS music every year, the extremely powerful memories created in our homes as children, have made these classics massively iconic in our minds. Of coudpufrse, R&B and country differ due to the nature of the formats and music tested. Interestingly, some songs like 'Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer', while still making it to our Mainstream Top 40 list, also make it to the format’s most hated list.”
