O Holy Night is the official debut Christmas EP by American child singer Jackie Evancho. The album was released on November 16, 2010, only two months after Evancho rose to prominence as a finalist on the reality TV show America's Got Talent. Evancho was ten years old when this EP was released.
The album was certified platinum in the U.S. and Canada. Its success made Evancho the top-selling debut artist for 2010, the youngest solo artist ever to debut in the top 10, the youngest person to ever have a US Top 3 album and the youngest solo artist ever to go platinum.
The album includes a two-disc set: a CD with four recorded tracks and a DVD with 12 minutes of footage of Evancho's performances and America's Got Talent appearances. It also includes an exclusive interview. It was released on November 16, 2010 and reached rank #1 on Amazon's bestsellers in music during pre-orders on October 19, 2010. Evancho released a music video of her singing "Silent Night". The disc was produced by Marius de Vries in only three days in the studio.
O Holy Night debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 239,000 copies sold in its first week and sold 142,000 copies in its second week. It remained in the top five for six weeks. The release made Evancho the top-selling debut artist for 2010, and the youngest solo artist ever to debut in the top 10. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Evancho as "the youngest person to ever have a US Top 3 album". The album also debuted at #1 on the Classical Albums Chart and #2 on the Billboard Holiday Albums chart. As of December 10, 2010, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA with shipments in excess of a million copies in the US, making Evancho the youngest solo artist ever to go platinum. It also debuted at #1 on the Canadian Classical Albums Chart. In January 2011, after the Christmas season, sales of the album fell, and it left the Billboard 200 and Holiday charts.
