The Top Holiday Albums chart will continue to be published on a weekly basis through early January of 2026, when it will jingle away until the next holiday season. (The chart generally returns to Billboard’s weekly chart menu every October.)
The Top Holiday Albums chart ranks the 50 most popular seasonal albums of the week in the United States based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each units equals one album sales, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.
