Michael Bublé's perennial "Christmas" album has once again soared to the pinnacle of Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart, securing the No. 1 spot on the chart dated November 22. This marks a significant return for the 2011 release, which has now accumulated an impressive total of 61 weeks atop the esteemed list, underscoring its enduring popularity and status as a holiday classic.

The latest edition of the Top Holiday Albums chart, which ranks the 50 most popular seasonal albums in the U.S., also saw the highly anticipated debut of new projects from renowned artists. These entries included Brad Paisley’s Snow Globe Town, Trisha Yearwood’s Christmastime, and Herb Alpert’s Christmas Time Is Here. Rankings on the chart are determined based on multi-metric consumption, measured in equivalent album units, encompassing album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each equivalent album unit represents one album sale, the sale of 10 individual tracks, 3,750 ad-supported on-demand streams, or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand streams generated from songs on an album. The Top Holiday Albums chart remains an active fixture, publishing weekly through early January 2026, before returning annually each October for the holiday season.

Among the notable debuts, Brad Paisley’s Snow Globe Town entered at No. 15, marking his second project to chart on the tally after his 2006 release Brad Paisley Christmas, which peaked at No. 2 in January 2007. Snow Globe Town blends eight newly-penned songs with classic holiday favorites such as The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire) and Jingle Bell Rock. Beyond the holiday chart, the album also debuted at No. 15 on Top Album Sales, No. 14 on Top Current Album Sales, and No. 49 on Top Country Albums.

Trisha Yearwood’s new holiday release, Christmastime, debuted at No. 36 on the Top Holiday Albums chart. The album reinterprets several classics, including My Favorite Things, Pure Imagination, and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. It also features an original track, "Merry Christmas, Valentine," co-written and performed by Yearwood and Garth Brooks. Additionally, the album entered the Top Current Albums chart at No. 50.

Completing the trio of notable debuts is Herb Alpert’s Christmas Time Is Here, which entered at No. 44. This release marks Alpert’s third holiday collection, showcasing the legendary trumpeter, composer, and record label executive’s unique interpretations of festive classics such as All I Want for Christmas Is You, Santa Baby, and Winter Wonderland. Alpert’s prior holiday successes include his 1968 Christmas Album, which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s then-titled Christmas LPs chart, and his 2017 set The Christmas Wish, which peaked at No. 5 on Top Holiday Albums. Christmas Time Is Here also diversified its chart presence by debuting at No. 4 on Contemporary Jazz Albums and No. 18 on the overall Jazz Albums chart.
