Top Testing Songs From 2006

We tested the Top 30 Most-Played Holiday Songs from 2005 according to Nielsen BDS in five American formats. Radio listeners were invited to rate the songs through Pinnacle Media's revolutionary OnlineTRACKER music research system. Listeners were recruited through Radio Music Survey.com and completed the survey from 9 - 15 November 2006.

Our online list includes the 2005 spin rank so you can see how the number of spins the song received last year correlates to the song's appeal.
