With a total of twelve holiday CDs, an average of eight Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums occupy Billboard’s Top Seasonal Chart every year.

This fall, Davis released a new album, Mannheim Steamroller 30/40, in celebration of the group’s thirtieth anniversary Christmas tour. The album’s tracks include Christmas fan favorites along with selections from Davis’ iconic Fresh Aire series , which will celebrate 40 years of ground-breaking sound. With nineteen gold, eight multi-platinum and four platinum-certified records, Chip Davis is among an elite group of artists with similar certifications that include U2, Jay-Z, and The Beach Boys.
