Holiday Traditions can be heard year-round on SiriusXM online channel 776. As of today, November 5, it is also on SiriusXM channel 73 and will run through December 26. A year ago – Go look! – I posted a 396-song sample of the playlist. I'm back with a bigger 'n' better list, 555 songs. Chart positions are from Billboard's Christmas charts. For the majority of songs that charted in several different years, data is shown for only their first chart appearance. For the years when no Christmas charts were published, I came up with a chart position for each single based on the artist's appearances on other charts and an estimate of the song's sales and airplay in comparison with other Christmas songs that were out at the same time. You're welcome.
