The Legendary Jackson 5 Revisit Several Major Hits on the Same Music Chart Again
The Jackson 5 played a significant role in making Christmas music popular early in their career, with their album titled "Jackson 5 Christmas Album" hitting the shelves not long after their initial full-length release. The group didn't hesitate to share their festive tunes with the world, resulting in several successful releases of their cheerful and family-friendly holiday tracks.
Two of these Christmas tracks are regaining popularity as Christmas draws near. Two songs by the Jackson 5 make a comeback on the same American chart, becoming popular sensations once again as Americans celebrate the festive season.
"Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" are the two holiday songs that have made a reappearance on the same Billboard list, the R&B Streaming Songs chart, at the same time. Remarkably, they both manage to secure positions near each other, as they both become streaming sensations once again.
Of the two, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is the more successful this week. This lively tune comes dangerously close to breaking into the top 10 on Billboard's list of the most-streamed R&B tracks, re-entering the race at the No. 11 spot.
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" isn't far behind the Jackson 5's other popular track that references Santa Claus. This playful tune, which has become a holiday staple for millions, returns to the R&B Streaming Songs chart at the No. 15 spot.
Although they haven't made it into the top 10 on the R&B chart at the moment, both of the Jackson 5's hits have previously held prominent positions on the streaming ranking. "Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town" rose to No. 7 in one season, while "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" barely managed to reach that spot, peaking at No. 10.
Interestingly, both of these Jackson 5 singles perform best on the R&B Streaming Songs chart, but they also appear on several other holiday-specific rankings as well. These tunes each hold a place on a trio of Billboard's seasonal rankings, but they don't perform as well due to stiffer competition from other popular holiday releases by music legends.
The Jackson 5's Christmas album, featuring "Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," saw success on the charts, reflecting the group's early impact on Christmas music. The Jackson 5's "Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town" also made an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the past. The single "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" also had a notable run on the Billboard charts, reaching a high position in the early 1970s. The Jackson 5's holiday songs continue to resonate with audiences, appearing frequently on various holiday-themed charts throughout the years.
