It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas! Mariah Carey is back at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and holiday music has officially taken over the airwaves.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are chatting about six brand-new Christmas songs from some of our pop-star faves: Christina Aguilera’s “My Favorite Things,” Cher’s “Christmas Is Here,” Kylie Minogue’s “XMAS,” Gwen Stefani’s “Shake the Snow Globe,” Jonas Brothers’ “Coming Home This Christmas” (featuring Kenny G) and Pentatonix’s virtual duet with the late Frank Sinatra on “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” — already a top 10 hit on Billboard‘s Adult Contemporary chart.
Listen to our conversation below:
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Taylor Swift returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with The Life of a Showgirl for an eighth nonconsecutive week while a trio of holiday albums return to the top 10, led by Michael Bublé’s Christmas. Meanwhile, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” jingles back to the top of the Hot 100 for a record-tying 19th week atop the list. Plus, it’s year-end charts time! Hundreds of year-end charts were released to Billboard’s website on Tuesday (Dec. 9), so we’ll be talking about the year’s biggest artists, songs and albums.
