December 14, 1959 — The Ohio State University Research Center issues a report showing that rock 'n' roll is the overwhelming favorite music of people aged 14-18. However, the poll shows that most over age 18 consider it their least favorite music.
December 15, 2008 — The St. Louis house where Chuck Berry lived from 1950-58, when he reached the peak of his popularity, is placed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

While residing in the house, Berry refined his guitar style and wrote and rehearsed many of his classic songs — among them "Maybellene," "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over Beethoven," and "Sweet Little Sixteen."
December 16, 1957 — Elvis Presley's Elvis' Christmas Album, which includes his cover of "White Christmas," hits #1 in the U.S., becoming the best-selling holiday album of all time.
