Dean Martin At The Top Of ASCAP's 2013 Holiday Songs List

According to Vintage Vinyl News (hat tip to I Love Dino Martin, a site that I visit almost every day):

Dean Martin's version of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is the most popular rendition of the 1945 popular tune by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne. The version below has received over 17,695,727 views atYouTube since 2008:
