Jason Kelce Dethrones Mariah Carey On Christmas Song Charts
Jason Kelce shakes up the holiday music scene by dethroning Mariah Carey on the Christmas song charts with his latest hit.
Move over, Mariah Carey, because Jason Kelce is officially donning his Christmas Crown, and for a good reason.
Since 2022, Jason has been teaming up with Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson to release annual Christmas albums under the group name The Philly Specials. But his latest holiday song with Stevie Nicks has reached new heights as it is currently charting higher than Mariah Carey’s iconic "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
With this chart-topping achievement, Jason Kelce has humorously declared himself the "Queen of Christmas" for the season.

Their new album, "A Philly Special Christmas Party," is set to drop on November 22, following last year's "A Philly Special Christmas Special" and their debut album, "A Philly Special Christmas," in 2022.
One of the standout tracks from this year’s album, "Maybe This Christmas," dropped on streaming platforms last Friday. The duet between Jason and Nicks captures the holiday spirit, with the two singers exchanging verses about their hopes for love and forgiveness this holiday season.
"It feels so good," the former NFL star said about topping the charts, especially considering Mariah's song has been a holiday staple for decades.
Despite the success, Jason admits the song has likely peaked early in the season, and he doesn’t expect it to hold the top spot for long. “We kind of caught it on the Christmas downslide, not too many people are listening to Christmas music ," he said. "So we jumped up in there.”
"No song with my singing should be number 1 in any category," he later joked.
