“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” tops multiple Billboard charts
Christian rockers Skillet have topped multiple Billboard charts with their version of the Christmas classic “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” The song is No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Digital Song Sales, Holiday Digital Song Sales, Rock Digital Song Sales, Alternative Digital Song Sales, and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales. The band’s debut Christmas track also saw charting on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales at No. 3, Hot Hard Rock Songs at No. 6, Hot Christian Songs at No. 12, Canadian Digital Song Sales at No. 12, Hot Rock & Alternative Songs at No. 40, and the Holiday 100 at No. 79, respectively.
The song is accompanied by a powerful and moving music video that garnered over one million views in less than a week.
Tonight (Tues, Dec 2nd) at 8 pm ET, fans can tune in on YouTube to join Skillet for A Rock Feed Christmas Special, an evening of music, conversation, and surprises. The event will feature a special live Q&A with U.S. military veterans, presented in partnership with Vet Tix, a nonprofit organization the band has long supported. This season, Skillet is spotlighting Vet Tix, alongside St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to encourage continued giving and awareness.
“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” caps off a massive year that included packed shows across Europe last summer and a sold-out Central and South American tour, including Mexico City, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Santiago, and the hugely successful Awakening Tour with Jeremy Camp this past November.
Reinforcing their reputation as a band with a massive global impact, earlier this fall, Skillet announced their return to Europe in the spring of 2026. The spring tour will hit 23 cities, including London, Glasgow, Paris, Munich, Warsaw, and Barcelona.
