Rock band Skillets cover of ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’ has soared to #1 across FIVE BILLBOARD charts, according to JFH, which notes they’ve taken the top spot in Chrisitan Digital Song Sales, Holiday Digital Song Sales, Rock Digital Song Sales, Alternative Digital Song Sales and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales.

The rock version of the song has divided critics, with some calling it inappropriate, blasphemous, and even “demonic,” while others were much more enthusiastic. (We are in the second camp, see our review of the song here.)
The band’s debut Christmas track also saw charting on BILLBOARD’s Digital Song Sales (#3), Hot Hard Rock Songs (#6), Hot Christian Songs (#12), Canadian Digital Song Sales (#12), Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (#40) and the Holiday 100 (#79) charts respectively.
Skillet acknowleged the success on Instragram writing “Thank you for supporting our first ever Christmas single! We have loved hearing how this song has impacted you. ♥️”
