已故抒情歌星Andy Williams於2002年去世（歲84），他走前的世界巡迴演唱會曾到台北小巨蛋演唱過，是台灣歌迷們最喜愛的歌星之一。
Andy
Williams最近以他1963年錄製的聖誕節經典歌曲“It's
the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”重回Billboard Hot
100排行榜而且獲得第10名。
這是Andy Williams從1971年以電影「愛的故事」主題曲“（Where Do I Begin）Love Story”獲得排行榜第9名以後，再度有進排行榜前10名的暢銷曲，這首歌也創了一首歌錄好47年8個月3個禮拜後再次進Billboard Hot 100排行榜的紀錄。
上一次類似的紀錄是2003年由來自德州Brookshire的黑人歌星Dobie Gray所創，他1973年曾進排行榜前10名的暢銷曲“Drift
Away”（#5），於2003年以Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray 之名重新翻唱後推出，再度進排行榜前10名（#9），前後一共30年2個月1個禮拜。
“It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”是目前六首進入Billboard Hot 100排行榜的聖誕歌曲之一，這六首聖誕歌是：
#1 12/22/1958 “The Chipmunk Song”by David Seville&The The
Chipmunks
#6 12/22/2018 “All I Want
for Christmas Is You”Mariah Carey
#7 1/8/2000 “Auld Lang
Syne” Kenny G
#7 1/6/1990 “This One's s
for The Children”New Kids On the Block
#9 2/21/1981
“Same Auld Lang Syne” Dan Fogelberg
#10
12/29/2018 “It's the
Most Wonderful Time of the Year” Andy Williams
聖誕歌曲很多，Billboard允許老歌重回排行榜，但先決條件當然是銷售和串流紀錄要好。
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Andy Williams
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy
meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling…
