With a little help from Pentatonix—who released a duet version of "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" as part of their new Christmas album—Sinatra made his way to the top of the Adult Contemporary chart for the first time since 1967.
According to Billboard and the data collected by Luminate, the reimagined version of Sinatra's 1961 holiday tune jumped four spots over the past week, surging 56% in audience for the week dated Saturday, Dec. 20.

Pentatonix included "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" on their latest holiday album, Christmas in the City, which dropped in late October. Since then, the Grammy-winning a cappella group has helped Sinatra make a triumphant return to the No. 1 spot on the Adult Contemporary chart all these years later.
The accomplishment for Sinatra marks a 58-year gap since his last No. 1 song on the chart, breaking a record previously held by Elton John and the over 23-year gap between his chart topper "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" in 1998 and "Merry Christmas," with Ed Sheeran, in 2022.
The beloved crooner, who died at age 82 in 1998, last topped the same chart in September 1967 with the five-week reign of "The World We Knew (Over and Over)."
Prior to that, Sinatra had five other No. 1s in a row, including "Somethin' Stupid" with his daughter Nancy Sinatra, plus "That's Life," "Summer Wind" and "Strangers in the Night" and "It Was a Very Good Year."
Sinatra is also the first artist to top the chart posthumously, following Roy Orbison with "You Got It" in 1999.
