"Blue Christmas" is ever cemented in our minds as Elvis Presley's hit song, but country music pioneer Ernest Tubb was actually the first person hit the charts. In January of 1950 Tubbs’ version spent a week on Billboards "Most-Played Juke Box (Country& Western) Records chart.

Who knew they had such a list? Presley's version is available on Freegal.

Sadly, Tubbs' is not.
