After making its debut at number 10 when it first entered the charts in mid-October, it got a big bump in November, when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show as part of "Oprah's Favorite Things Show" and then again on "Behind the Scenes at Oprah's Favorite Things Show".
This was quickly followed by other prime-time television performances including the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Centre, an appearance on Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kelly and the Larry King Live Christmas Special.
After these appearances, the seven-week-old Noël reached the top of the charts in late November and stayed there for the rest of the year. The disc sold about 2.6 million copies in December alone. (How amazing is that???)
On top of this, Noël is the first holiday album to top the year-end list, which Billboard started publishing 51 years ago. The album's five-week run at number one, also a 2007 best, set a new record for the most consecutive chart-topping weeks for a holiday album, beating the 50-year-old Elvis' Christmas Album record of three weeks. In fact, no holiday album had even topped the Billboard 200 since Kenny G's Miracles: A Holiday Album in 1994, which is also the last holiday album to make the year-end Top 10.
Yeah Josh!!!! I'm a happy little Grobanite...
