Holiday 100 chart entries
Since many radio stations in the US adopt a format change to Christmas music each December, many holiday hits have an annual spike in popularity during the last few weeks of the year and are retired once the season is over.[ 29] In December 2011, Billboard began a Hot Holiday Songs chart with 50 positions that monitored the last five weeks of each year to "rank the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay, and sales data",[ 30] and in 2013 the number of positions on the chart was doubled, resulting in the Holiday 100 .[ 31] A handful of Sinatra recordings have made appearances on the Holiday 100 and are noted below according to the holiday season in which they charted there.

Like many recording artists of the era, even major stars like Elvis Presley and The Beatles , there is very little performance footage shot on actual film to create modern day high definition releases.
