White Christmas According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby is not only the best-selling Christmas/holiday single in the United States, but also the best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide.

In addition to Bing Crosby, major acts that have popularized and successfully covered a number of the titles in the top 30 most performed Christmas songs in 2015 include Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Andy Williams, and the Jackson 5.

Making a holiday album is a great way to pull in some extra cash in a year when an artist hasn't created a plethora of new, personal work. Because holiday songs are classics, the copyrights for composition rights often have lapsed, are owned by the public, or never existed at all.

There's not many chart records the Beatles haven't broken and, yes, they have the most Christmas Number 1s of everyone – four in total. The first three, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Feel Fine and Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out topped the Official Singles Chart consecutively from 1963–1965.

Reportedly, one of the first known Christmas hymns is "Jesus Refulsit Omnium" ("Jesus, Light of All the Nations"), written by St. Hilary of Poitier in the fourth century.

We sing Christmas carols because they are a way of telling the story of the nativity and the birth of Jesus Christ. As well as explaining what happened around Jesus's birth, the songs enable us to encapsulate and express the joy, devotion and awe-inspiring scenes of the nativity.

The singing of carols reminds us that God, in his love for us, sent his son to be one of us. Just as that first christmas was marked by singing, so christians through the centuries have celebrated and borne witness through song to the coming of the Messiah.

“Christmas music is almost the reverse of that, conceptually and lyrically. It is about homecoming, nostalgia, looking back to a more innocent time in one's life or cultural history.” We could argue nonstop about what constitutes the holiday canon, but the top of the top is pretty clear - and pretty old.

In the second-to-last song, Sia refers back to the title of the album and sings about one of her loved ones and how she enjoys every day like Christmas when she is with her lover. Although the song has a melancholy tune to it, the meaning behind the song was beautiful.

Christmas music can pretty much be divided up into three types: religious hymns, carols and then secular songs and pop songs that focus on reindeer, winter, romance and Santa Claus. Although Christmas songs were sung during the Middle Ages, most carols in use now are less than 200 years old.
