How about a No. 1 single for Christmas? That's Reba McEntire's (booking agent, manager) gift as "Consider Me Gone" scrambles into the top spot for the last week of 2009, dislodging Lady Antebellum's (booking agent, manager) long-running "Need You Now," which scoots back to No. 2.

But Lady A can take comfort in knowing that its "American Honey" is the highest-debuting song of the week. It flows in at No. 47.

Taylor Swift (booking agent, manager), on whom the universe still beams, obviously played her Christmas cookies well, too. Her album Fearless ends 2009 just as it began it -- solidly at No. 1.

Phil Vassar's (booking agent, manager) Traveling Circus is the only new album to chart this week. It enters at No. 29.

There are two other new songs: Swift's "Fearless," bowing at No. 50, and Gretchen Wilson's (booking agent, manager) "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas," rumbling in at No. 54.

Rounding out the Top 5 albums, in descending order, are Carrie Underwood's (booking agent, manager) Play On, Lady Antebellum (booking agent, manager), Tim McGraw's (booking agent, manager) Southern Voice and the Zac Brown Band's (booking agent, manager) The Foundation.

The No. 3 through No. 5 songs are Luke Bryan's (booking agent, manager) "Do I," Dierks Bentley's (booking agent, manager) "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes" and McGraw's "Southern Voice."

That's it, folks. Here's hoping you avoided wreath rage and chestnut burns.
