yeah, i had the EXACT same thought!! 66.30.47.138 (talk) 23:56, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Just saw this too. Will be adding it. Can't believe it's not on here. It charted extremely well in 1957 and as of 2019 it sold nearly 1 million. Maineartists (talk) 16:59, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

ASCAP lists the writers of the song as BEAL, JOSEPH CARLETON, and BOOTHE, JAMES ROSS. However, I have received anecdotal information to the effect that Charles "Peanut" Faircloth, a disc jockey and announcer in Macon and Augusta, GA and Chattanooga, TN in the late 1940s to the 1950s, wrote or co-wrote the song. If anyone can verify this, would you please update the article? In any case, someone might consider mentioning those two names from ASCAP in the article.

I don't know if it applies here, but I've seen in documentaries that in the 50s one common form of payola was to give a radio DJ co-writer's credit to encourage him to play the song on his show Hew (talk) 09:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

What?

the issue became an immediate success and even today a classic day of Christmas carols México.

What does this actually mean in English? Skinsmoke (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Cover vs Charted versions

Understandably "Charted versions" are notable for inclusion for songs at WP. I'm not seeing why mere "covers" are notable unless they have significant coverage, reviews, etc. The covers themselves should have charted or achieved certain sales if they are notable for inclusion here. Namely, the recent addition of Finnish soprano Tarja Turunen 2023's cover for her Christmas album Dark Christmas. The source is merely a link to the album itself. This is by no means an acceptable source to include a cover; otherwise any and all artists would be eligible to list their covers, notable or not. Perhaps Lindsay Lohan's cover might fit the citeria for inclusion due to the associated with the film "Mean Girls". Either the section needs to be renamed Notable cover version with requirements for secondary sources i.e. reviews; or the covers need to have charted. As it stand, I do not think Tarja Turunen's album qualifies. Maineartists (talk) 19:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
