Streaming To The Top
Every week since 2013, Billboard has put out a weekly list of the most streamed songs in the United States. So, allow us to take you back through 2024 week by week and see what everyone was listening to...were you?
January 6, 2024: "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"
Artist: Brenda Lee

Why was this 1958 Christmas song the most streamed song in the country two weeks after Christmas? Well, Brenda Lee herself released a music video for the song in November of 2023, which gave it new life and sent it to the top of both the Billboard Hot 100 and streaming charts in December. January 6, 2024 was actually the song's fifth week in a row at number one here.
