This Is Delaware’s Favorite Christmas Song
We are in full holiday music mode here at WJBR and this is Delaware’s favorite Christmas song:
It’s Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You!”
Verizon did the recent study and said the first state’s favorite tune is the one you probably hear the most.
Here’s what they found out:
- Mariah Carey’s holiday hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You (SuperFestive!)” was the most searched Christmas song in 11 states, the most of any on this year’s list. This song made history in 2019 for being the first Christmas song in 60 years to break into the top five spots on Billboard’s Hot 100.
- “Frosty the Snowman” took the top spot in six states. Oddly enough, the lyrics in the original song don’t mention Christmas at all!
- Bumped from its first-place spot in our previous rankings, “Jingle Bells” was the top searched in the third most states this year. This classic is over 150 years old and was once performed in space.
- Popular country musician Gene Autry recorded the first versions of both “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” most searched in six states and one state respectively.
Verizon looked at the most played Christmas songs played on the radio. They then compared that to the frequency of people googling each song in each state.
Christmas music makes up 22% of all streaming music on Spotify and has shown to grow audiences across radio platforms as well!
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” was the most popular Christmas song in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was also in the top spot in Maryland.
I find it hilarious the second most popular song across the country is “Frosty” and it doesn’t even mention Xmas!
