Bubby’s Festive Top 20 12/21/24 - The Ronettes (1)

Welcome back to another post! Last Christmas's run at the top was cut short, as it drops 2 spots this week. What replaced it? The Ronettes take the #1 spot with their classic Sleigh Ride. Also to clarify, last week was all messed up because I accidentally started editing the wrong post while making this one. If you were thinking Sleigh Ride already was at #1, you were right. As always, there is the normal version of my chart as well. Let's get into it, starting with our exits.
