“We’ll see if it holds up throughout the rest of Christmas,” Jason joked about topping the holiday charts on his ‘New Heights’ podcast
Jason Kelce is happy to steal Mariah Carey’s Christmas crown!
During the latest episode of his New Heights podcast released on Tuesday, Nov. 12, Jason, 37, shared his delight at topping the iTunes 100 Holiday chart alongside Stevie Nicks with their cover duet “Maybe This Christmas” — beating Christmas queen Carey, 55.
When asked by his brother and co-host Travis Kelce how it felt, Jason replied jokingly, “You know, I’ve fought my whole life to be the queen of Christmas and the fact that we’re finally there … it’s just really special.”
“I know we caught it in early November, we’ll see if it holds up throughout the rest of Christmas,” Jason said of taking over the holiday top spot from Carey’s iconic track “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
“We kind of caught it on the Christmas downslide, not too many people are listening to Christmas music so we kind of jumped up in there.”
“I’ll take it where I can get it. It’s pretty amazing,” he added.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center also reflected on his time working with Nicks, 76, on their holiday duet, calling the experience “incredible.”
“I mean, obviously I’m still in awe of the fact that that actually happened,” Jason said on the podcast, adding, “There’s no percent chance that any song that I am in should be streaming number one on any service, in any genre.”
