The holiday season is upon us, and one song has stood the test of time throughout the festive months.
José Feliciano‘s “Feliz Navidad,” originally released in 1970, celebrates the most wonderful time of the year in both English and Spanish. The repeating chorus, “Feliz Navidad / Próspero año y felicidad,” means “Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness.”
54 years later, the song remains one of the top 10-performing hits in the decade-plus history of Billboard‘s Holiday 100 chart. In 2023, “Feliz Navidad” notched a new accomplishment when it jumped from No. 16 to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, dated Dec. 19, hitting the top 10 for the first time.
