Frank Sinatra has achieved another milestone in his legendary career, surpassing The Beatles in total top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. His holiday compilation "Ultimate Christmas" has climbed to No. 10, marking his thirty-third top 10 album and pushing him past the Fab Four's record of 32.
The seasonal collection, which features some of Sinatra's most beloved holiday recordings, saw a remarkable 50% increase in consumption, moving 63,100 equivalent units in the past week. This surge comes as holiday music streaming and sales reach peak levels for the season.
While The Rolling Stones maintain their lead with 38 top 10 albums, and Barbra Streisand holds second place with 34, Sinatra's latest achievement cements his position as one of the most commercially successful artists in American music history.
"Ultimate Christmas," released in 2017, has proven particularly successful across multiple Billboard charts. The album made history by becoming Sinatra's first entry in the top 10 of the Top Streaming Albums chart, reaching No. 8. It also holds strong positions on specialized charts, sitting at No. 3 on both Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums rankings.
December has traditionally been a strong period for Sinatra's music, as listeners worldwide turn to his timeless holiday recordings. Though released decades after his original holiday recordings, "Ultimate Christmas" has become a seasonal favorite for fans old and new, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Sinatra's musical legacy.
