Christmas Without You Reaches #1 Before the Christmas Season Has Even Begun

The Christmas season has barely started, but GINAxC’s Christmas Without You has already reached #1 on Christmas Songs Radio’s Weekly Chart 38.

The independent Christmas ballad topped the station’s weekly ranking earlier this season, ahead of songs by names including Meghan Trainor, Bob Dylan, Sam Smith and Carole King.

Originally released in November 2025, Christmas Without You quickly found an international audience during its first Christmas season. The song entered Apple Music Holiday charts in nine markets, including China, Mongolia, Ukraine, Estonia and Luxembourg, with a peak position of #71 in China.

The song has also continued to grow beyond streaming.

According to royalty reporting from the Swedish performing rights organisation STIM, Christmas Without You was performed live by other artists outside Sweden during its first Christmas season.

Several Christmas radio stations have also confirmed that they will include the track in their upcoming 2026 Christmas programming, while Christmas Songs Radio has already brought the song back into rotation.

For an independent Christmas song from Sweden, created without the backing of a major label campaign, the continued international response has been a welcome surprise.

And this year, the story continues. GINAxC will also release a new Christmas single, Santa Lucia (Heal My Broken Heart), on November 6, 2026 — a darker and more cinematic interpretation of the traditional Santa Lucia melody, featuring completely new English lyrics.

For now, Christmas Without You is once again proving that some Christmas songs do not disappear when the decorations are packed away.

They simply wait for the season to return.
