Elton John Achieves Career Highpoint Collaborating with One of Today's Prominent Musical Personalities
Elton John's catalog is versatile, catering to various life events. His tunes are perfect for events like weddings, funerals, or any significant moments. Most of his songs can be appreciated anytime, and he's churned out numerous hit singles that delight fans throughout the year.
The musical virtuoso has also delved into Christmas music, recording numerous holiday tracks. Each time he releases seasonal tunes, especially in recent years, they invariably become popular, with his limited selection of Yuletide hits garnering acclaim in different ways. One of his recent holiday offerings, a collaboration with Ed Sheeran, has resurfaced this week as Americans celebrate Christmas, pushing him to new heights.
"Merry Christmas" is currently climbing several charts in the United States, moving from its initial position at No. 29 to No. 27 on Billboard's Holiday Streaming Songs chart, which showcases the most streamed songs during the festive season.
No. 27 represents a new milestone for "Merry Christmas" as well as John himself. This is his only hit on the Holiday Streaming Songs chart, so every time the track breaks a new record, John sets a new personal best as well.
Sheeran also benefits from this success, reaching a new high. Like John, he has only one track in the holiday-focused ranking, and he and his musical partner reach this new peak together.
"Merry Christmas" is currently gaining traction on popular platforms like Spotify and Apple Music in the U.S., even securing a spot on the all-genre Streaming Songs chart at No. 38, which ranks the top 40 most-streamed tracks in the nation. The song is edging closer to its previous best position of No. 34.
John and Sheeran's "Merry Christmas" returns to its highest placement ever on the Holiday 100, which is similar to the Hot 100, but focused on Christmas songs. The track advances from No. 33 to No. 29, matching its previous peak.
Moreover, "Merry Christmas" is not John's only hit on the Holiday 100 this week, and it's not even his only song to claim a special position. His much older track "Step Into Christmas" maintains its position at No. 64 on the chart, marking its highest climb to date.
