Într-un articol recent discutam despre cele mai ascultate cântece de Crăciun pe Spotify. Tocmai asta este interesant. Michael Buble, Diana Krall cantă în albume tot aceleași colinde care au rămas moștenire de generații întregi și cred cu tărie că nimeni și nimic nu le va detrona din locul lor de glorie. Acum câțiva ani, Billboard a creat un chart cu piese de Crăciun. Topul măsoară numărul de oameni care au fost expuși la aceste piese prin diverse surse (radio, TV, online).
