Lee's still rocking around the tree at 78 (and she's No.1)
Sunday Express
|December 10, 2023
BRENDA LEE has finally topped the charts with her festive classic Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree 65 years after she recorded it aged 13.
"Little Miss Dynamite", who celebrates her 79th birthday tomorrow, is the oldest star to land a number one in the US singles chart, the Billboard Hot 100.
And so thrilled is the pint-sized singer, she said: "If I could jump out of my clothes, I would. You can't keep a good song down." The climb of her timeless festive hit to the pinnacle of pop music has surpassed the previous slowest rise to No1.
Mariah Carey's 1994 song All I Want For Christmas Is You took 25 years.
Rockin' Around which The Christmas Tree, Brenda recorded in November 1958, has been second in the chart behind her rival's song on several occasions.
