(KGTV) — A story you may have heard claims the 1958 song ‘Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree’ has hit #1 on the charts for the first time.

It's true.

The Brenda Lee holiday classic is currently number one on the Billboard Hot 100 ... 65 years after its release.

Lee, who was just 13 when she recorded the song, released a music video and promoted the song this year in honor of its 65th anniversary.

‘Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree’ bumped ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ out of the number one spot.

But don't worry Mariah Carey fans.
