I have a disclaimer.  There is no intention here of stealing the spotlight from my friend, New Jersey 101.5's musicologist, Don Tandler "The Record Handler."  But, now that we're playing nothing but holiday songs through Christmas, I was curious.  What are the the most popular holiday songs?  I checked with a group who keeps track of these things.  So, according to the American Society of Composers and Publishers, better known as ASCAP, here are the top 25 most performed holiday songs.  I will only list the titles.  Many of the following songs were performed and recorded by dozens of artists.  Here we go....#1 "The Christmas Song", #2 "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", #3 "Winter Wonderland", #4 "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", #5 "White Christmas", #6 "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", # 7 "Jingle Bell Rock", #8 "The Little Drummer Boy", #9 "Sleigh Ride", #10 "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", #11 It's the Most Wonderful Time Of the Year", #12 "I'll Be Home For Christmas", #13 "Silver Bells", #14 "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", #15 "Feliz Navidad", #16 "Blue Christmas", #17 "Frosty the Snowman", #18 "A Holly Jolly Christmas", #19 "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", #20 "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", #21 "Here Comes Santa Cllaus", #22 "Carol of the Bells", #23 "Do They Know It's Christmas?", #24 "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays", and #25 "Santa Baby."  I know some of you may be dissappointed that "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" didn't make it to the top 25.  Maybe next year....
