Brett Young<\/a> is no doubt rockin\u2019 around the Christmas tree this week as his newest offering, Ticket to L. A.<\/em>, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s top country albums chart.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s silver bells for Dan + Shay, as well, as their \u201cSpeechless\u201d vaults from No. 5 to No. 1 on the country airplay rankings. It took the song just 19 weeks to reach the summit.<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s self-titled first album entered the charts at No. 2 in February 2017. Ticket to L. A.<\/em> bowed at No. 15 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s all-genres albums list.<\/p>\n

There are no other new albums to report, but several former contenders have returned. They are Tim McGraw\u2019s 35 Biggest Hits<\/em> (back at No. 31), Martina McBride\u2019s The Classic Christmas Album<\/em> (No. 38), Elvis Presley\u2019s Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits<\/em> (No. 42), Garth Brooks\u2019 The Ultimate Hits<\/em> (No. 45), Taylor Swift\u2019s Fearless<\/em> (No. 46), Luke Bryan\u2019s Crash My Party<\/em> (No. 47) and Old Dominion\u2019s Happy Endings<\/em> (No. 48).<\/p>\n

Four new songs have muscled their way onto the charts \u2014 Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell\u2019s \u201cWhat Happens in a Small Town\u201d (No. 32), Toby Keith\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Old Man In\u201d (No. 43, from The Mule<\/em> soundtrack), Pistol Annie\u2019s \u201cGot My Name Changed Back\u201d (No 59) and Ashley McBryde\u2019s \u201cGirl Going Nowhere\u201d (No. 60).<\/p>\n

The No. 2 through No. 5 albums, in that order, are Luke Combs\u2019 This One\u2019s for You<\/em> (last week\u2019s No. 1), Gene Autry\u2019s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Other Christmas Classics<\/em>, Presley\u2019s It\u2019s Christmas Time<\/em> and Burl Ives\u2019 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Parading in behind \u201cSpeechless\u201d within the Top 5 songs cluster, are Combs\u2019s \u201cShe Got the Best of Me,\u201d Jimmie Allen\u2019s \u201cBest Shot\u201d (last week\u2019s No. 1), Kane Brown\u2019s \u201cLose It\u201d and Thomas Rhett\u2019s \u201cSixteen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, where did I leave that wrapping paper?<\/p>\n
