Bing from Holiday Inn, CtJust a couple of historical notes: Elton John did originally write "Candle in the Wind" with Bernie Taupin as an ode to Marilyn Monroe, thus "Goodbye Norma Jean" (Baker). One of their best songs. "It seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to turn to when the rains set in. And I would have liked to've known you, but I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did." Bernie Taupin wrote some truly great lyrics. "Goodbye England's Rose" was the song they wrote (lyrics modified from Candle), to the same tune, which Sir Elton sang at Princess Diana's funeral, because they were very close long-time friends.

In 1963, Billboard magazine began publishing a special weekly sales charts for Christmas album sales named "Christmas Albums" for three to four weeks during each holiday season. Titles that appeared on these charts were excluded from the regular Billboard 200 album sales charts. These special, year-end "Christmas Albums" charts were published from 1963 to 1973. The chart was discontinued from 1974 to 1982, when holiday titles were once again included in the regular Billboard 200 chart. "Christmas Albums" started up again in 1983 and appeared each year until 1985 (during these three years, holiday titles were eligible for inclusion on the weekly Billboard 200 chart). It was discontinued in 1986, but resumed in 1987 under the name "Christmas Albums". In 2000, the chart was renamed to " Top Holiday Albums" and has been published by Billboard each year since. Billboard's special Christmas albums sales charts have varied in size over the years, from a low of 5 chart positions to a high of 117 chart positions.
