Chart Note: Bing Crosby's, 'Do You Hear What I Hear' moves from 'Predicted Hit' status last week to #5 this week on WPGC. Meanwhile, holiday staples from Christmas' past re-emerge in the Top Ten as Bobby Helms' 1957 release, 'Jingle Bell Rock' comes in at #6 and Brenda Lee's 1960 classic, 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' slides down the chimney at #5.

Elsewhere around the DC dial, Bing Crosby's, 'Do You Hear What I Hear' moves up from #9 - #4 on the Milt Grant Network and leaps from #10 - #3 at WWDC, while the Chad Mitchell Trio's, 'The Marvelous Toy' rises from #8 - #3 on the Milt Grant Network and jumps from #9 - #4 at WWDC.

Similarly, Roy Orbison's timely, 'Pretty Paper' drops a notch from #10 - #9 at WINX, also falling a bit from #8 - #9 at WWDC. And with Christmas just days away, the Beach Boys', 'Little St. Nick' debuts in the Top Ten at #7 at WEEL. Other new holiday tuneage debuting in the Top Ten this week includes Nancy Wilson's, 'What Are You Doing New Years Eve' at #5 on WUST.

Of note is the song debuting in the Top Ten at #6 this week by the Secrets, 'The Boy Next Door' on WDON, despite the fact the Morning Mayor at WPGC went by the handle,' Harv Moore, the Boy Next Door'!

Also of interest is this week's Predicted Hit on WWDC, a song called, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' by a group calling themselves, 'The Beatles'.....
