Christmas came a little early for Lee this year as the song hit #1 on the Billboard 100 chart. The accomplishment marks the first time the song has reached #1 in its 65 years of existence and the third overall #1 for Lee.
The Billboard Hot 100 gages success by blending all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales data, in addition to the latest metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers.
A big congrats to Lee on the exciting achievement that writes new history on the Billboard charts.
