Welcome back to Country Music 4 Ever! When you hear the name Bobby Helms, what do you think of? If you’re like me, you probably think of Christmas. Bobby released the original version of “Jingle Bell Rock.”

In 1957, Bobby already had two number one songs and was becoming very popular in country music. Since it was Christmastime, he decided to record a Christmas song. Two days before Christmas, he released “Jingle Bell Rock” and it quickly became a hit.

“Jingle Bell Rock” is Bobby’s most streamed song. It has 793,467,775 Spotify streams. His second most streamed song only has 4,378,716 streams. So, that tells you how popular “Jingle Bell Rock” is.

I find it interesting that Bobby was a country singer, but people only remember him for his Christmas song. I guess if a song is good, it will become a classic no matter what.

Thanks for reading. I’ll be back soon!
