#1 offensive line in football. #1 on the charts. The Compilation Albums chart that is, via Keith Caulfield at Billboard.com:

“A Philly Special Christmas was released as a digital download album for purchase and through streaming services on Dec. 23. In the week ending Dec. 29, 2022, the album sold nearly 11,000 copies in the U.S. according to Luminate – the largest sales week for a non-soundtrack compilation album in over two years. Nearly all of those 11,000 sales were digital downloads. The album previously was available on vinyl, and sold 3,000 copies between the weeks ending Dec. 1 and Dec. 22.

A Philly Special Christmas re-enters the Compilation Albums chart at No. 1 and re-enters Top Current Album Sales at No. 4 (also its first week in the top 10), and debuts at No. 8 on Independent Albums and No. 9 on Top Album Sales. It also bows at No. 26 on Top Holiday Albums and No. 80 on the Billboard 200. “

Usually the Compilations Charts is filled with movie soundtracks or the latest installment of Now That’s What I Call Music.

Sidenote: Did you know they’re up to Now That’s What I Call Music volume #113? I remember the infomercials for #1. Jesus I’m old.

This is really impressive from Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson, and everyone else involved with the album. What a year for Kelce though. Best team in football, one of the most popular sports podcasts in the world, an album that hit #1 on the Billboard charts, and raising more than $250k for the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center in Philly. Save some for the rest of us dude.

Here is my review after it came out.
