Jason Kelce, a former NFL player who now hosts a podcast, has surprised everyone with his Christmas song.
His duet “Maybe This Christmas” with famous singer Stevie Nicks has reached the top of the iTunes Holiday music charts. This was unexpected because it beat Mariah Carey‘s popular song “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which has been a holiday favorite for nearly 30 years.
Jason talked about this on his podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his brother, NFL player Travis Kelce. He joked, “I’ve always wanted to be the Queen of Christmas. Now that we’re there, it feels special.”
But Jason admitted that people don’t usually listen to Christmas music much in early November. So, he thinks his song might not stay at the top for long as more holiday songs gain popularity in December.
The duet with Stevie Nicks is part of Jason’s new album A Philly Special Christmas Party. The album will be released on November 22. This album is a special project where Jason teams up with local Philadelphia artists to celebrate the holidays.
Jason was very happy to sing with Stevie Nicks, who was the lead singer of the rock band Fleetwood Mac and also has a successful solo career. Jason said it felt like a dream to sing with someone as talented as her. This was a big moment for Jason, who is new to music and better known for his football career.
In October, Jason posted a photo on Instagram showing him and Stevie Nicks in a recording studio. This made fans excited for the upcoming duet. Jason called Stevie Nicks “probably the greatest female singer,” showing how much he respects her talent.
Mariah Carey’s song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has been the most popular Christmas song since it came out in 1994. It comes back to the top of the charts every holiday season and is one of the most-streamed Christmas songs ever.
Jason and Stevie’s new duet shows that even classic hits can have new competition. Their success proves that fresh and surprising music can still grab people’s attention during the holiday season.
Jason Kelce may be new to music, but his duet with Stevie Nicks brings a fresh twist to this year’s holiday songs. It shows that new collaborations can make a big impact. “Maybe This Christmas” is a reminder that even with so many classic Christmas songs, there is always room for a new favorite.
