That isn't the end of the story for our furry little friends. Since Billboard started the HOT 100 on August 4, 1958, White Christmas, the 2nd best-selling single of all time (behind Elton John's "Candle in the Wind” 1997) appeared 5 times on that particular chart. "The Chipmunk Song" also shares this distinction. There are two more songs that did so. And they are all Christmas-songs:  Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms and The Little Drummer Boy by Harry Simeone Chorale (the only song to reach the top 40 every time it recharted.)
