(Undated) – If you feel like you’re in a time warp, you must be looking at this week’s Billboard top ten. Six of the top ten are Christmas songs that are at least 60 years old. The “newest” of the six songs were released in 1963: “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the World” by Andy Williams at number seven and the Ronettes’ 1963 version of “Sleigh Ride” at number eight. Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” from 1958 slips to number two after topping the charts the last two weeks.
The other three 1950s Christmas songs in the top ten are “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms, “A Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives and “Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow” by Dean Martin.
