Jolly Christmas playlist

From October 15 through December 29, SiriusXM online channel 786 is Jolly Christmas, "Upbeat, feel-good holiday hits." "Feel-good" must be a synonym for "secular." Here is a sample of the playlist. Chart positions are from the Billboard Christmas chart.

This year, Jolly Christmas is on SiriusXM channel 105 and on the SiriusXM app from November 8 through December 26.

Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree jumped from #8 to number one on this week's Billboard Hot 100, sixty-five years after it was first released! It features saxophonist Boots Randolph and the Anita Kerr Singers and becomes her third number-one hit, after I'm Sorry and I Want To Be Wanted, both in 1960.
