American singer and jazz pianist Nat King Cole released 28 studio albums and 1 live album. His career spanned almost three decades where he found success and recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts. Cole started his career as a jazz pianist in the late 1930s, when he formed the King Cole Trio, which became the top-selling group (and the only black act) on Capitol Records in the 1940s. Cole's trio was the model for small jazz ensembles that followed. Starting in 1950, he transitioned to become a solo singer billed as Nat King Cole.

Some of Cole's most notable singles include "Unforgettable", "Smile", "L-O-V-E", "Nature Boy", "When I Fall in Love", "Let There Be Love", "Mona Lisa", "Autumn Leaves", "Stardust", "Straighten Up and Fly Right", "The Very Thought of You", "For Sentimental Reasons", "Embraceable You" and "Almost Like Being in Love". His 1960 Christmas album The Magic of Christmas (also known as The Christmas Song), is the best-selling Christmas album released in the 1960s; and was ranked as one of the 40 essential Christmas albums (2019) by Rolling Stone.{{Cite magazine |last=Edwards |first=Gavin |date=2019-11-30 |title=40 Essential Christmas Albums |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/40-essential-christmas-albums-35316/ |access-date=2021-12-24 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}} In 2022, Cole's recording of "The Christmas Song", broke the record for the longest journey to the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, when it peaked at number nine, 62 years after it debuted on the chart; and was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry.{{Cite web |last=Garcia |first=Thania |date=2023-01-03 |title=SZA's 'SOS' Rules Album Chart for Third Week; Nat King Cole's 'Christmas Song' Finally Hits Top 10 After 62 Years |url=https://variety.com/2023/music/news/sza-sos-top-album-chart-billboard-holiday-music-1235477689/ |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=Variety}}{{Cite magazine |date=2022-04-13 |title=Alicia Keys, Ricky Martin, Wu-Tang Clan & More Selected for 2022 National Recording Registry: See the Full List |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/alici2022-national-recording-registry-inductions-full-list-1235057483/ |access-date=2023-08-16 |magazine=Billboard}}

Holiday 100 chart entries

Since many radio stations in the US adopt a format change to Christmas music each December, many holiday hits have an annual spike in popularity during the last few weeks of the year and are retired once the season is over.{{Cite news|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-christmas-radio-20151222-story.html|title=Jingle bell rock: Why lots of radio stations go all-Christmas in December|last=Judkis|first=Maura|date=2015-12-22|work=Chicago Tribune|access-date=8 February 2019}} In December 2011, Billboard began a Holiday Songs chart with 50 positions that monitors the last five weeks of each year to "rank the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay, and sales data",{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8491032/andy-williams-the-ronettes-hot-100-chart-moves |title=Andy Williams Hits New High, The Ronettes 'Ride' Back After 52 Years & More Hot 100 Chart Moves|publisher=Billboard |access-date=8 February 2019}} and in 2013 the number of positions on the chart was doubled, resulting in the Holiday 100.{{cite magazine|title=Carey Brings Back 'Christmas'|date= 2013-12-14 |magazine=Billboard| page=115}} A handful of Cole recordings have made appearances on the Holiday 100 and are noted below according to the holiday season in which they charted there.
