This weekend’s ARIA charts saw Christmas officially arrive, with nine Christmas carols trickling like snowflakes into the top 50 – with a deluge expected over the next few weeks.

Mariah Carey’s perennial anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You is currently #2 on the ARIA Singles chart, with Last Christmas by Wham at #6.

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee is #8 — not at all bad for a song recorded in 1958 — while It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas by Michael Bublé (more on him in a bit) is #15, one spot ahead of Bobby Helms’ 1957 recording of Jingle Bell Rock, at #16.
