Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart returns for the 2024 season, with new offerings from Dan + Shay, Bing Crosby and Jennifer Hudson dotting the top 10 of the Nov. 2-dated ranking.
The Top Holiday Albums chart will continue to be published on a weekly basis through early January of 2025, when it will jingle away until the next holiday season. (The chart generally returns to Billboard’s weekly chart menu every October.)
The Top Holiday Albums chart ranks the 50 most popular seasonal albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each units equals one album sales, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
Leading the new Top Holiday Albums chart is the soundtrack to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, notching its 16th nonconsecutive week atop the tally. It earned nearly 11,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 24, according to Luminate.
Dan + Shay’s first holiday release, It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album, debuts at No. 2 with 7,000 equivalent album units earned, with 6,000 of that sum in traditional album sales. Also new to the chart this season: Bing Crosby’s new best-of, Ultimate Christmas, at No. 6 with 3,000 units, along with Jennifer Hudson’s first holiday album, The Gift of Love, at No. 10 with 1,500 units.
