The success of Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

Brenda Lee recorded “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” written by Johnny Marx, when she was 12 years old. The song didn’t have much success until it was released in Europe, and it received an even bigger boost thanks to its inclusion in the classic holiday movie “Home Alone.” Brenda became the oldest woman to reach #1 on the Top 100 Billboard Charts when “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” charted in 2023.
