Groban Beats Elvis’ Holiday Record
If there’s one list currently being checked more than Santa’s, it’s the latest Nielsen SoundScan numbers. Why? Josh Groban’s Noël claimed an unprecedented fourth straight week at number one, a feat never before accomplished by a holiday album. This means that Groban has overtaken the previous record, three weeks set by Elvis Presley, half a century ago with 1957’s Elvis’ Christmas Album. This also puts Noël in the lead as the year’s bestselling album (sorry, Zac Efron), and if the trend holds, it’ll become the first holiday album to top year-end sales in the SoundScan era.
