A Very Merry Chipmunk

''A Very Merry Chipmunk'' is a 1994 music album by '' Alvin and the Chipmunks'', released by Sony Wonder. It is their fourth Christmas album. The album reached #147 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It was the first in a series of 25 Christmas compilation albums put forth by Turner Broadcasting company. The fact that it appeared on the Billboard 200, caused Sony to print 5,000 more copies, resulting in a sudden decline in pricing. Wal-Mart put a special on it for 97 cents shortly after Christmas 1994.
