                                  SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.      Security and Issuer.

     This Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, $ 0.01 par value per
share ("Common  Stock") of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (the "Issuer").  The
Issuer has its principal executive office at 1250 23rd Street, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20037-1100.

Item 2.      Identity and Background.

             Name of the reporting person:

             Clear Channel Investments, Inc. ("CCI")

             The business address of the reporting  person is 200 Concord Plaza,
Suite 600, San Antonio, Texas 78216.

     CCI is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Clear Channel  Communications,  Inc.
("Clear Channel"),  and is primarily engaged in the business of making strategic
investments.  Clear Channel is primarily engaged in the media business.  CCI and
Clear  Channel are both  located at 200 Concord  Plaza,  Suite 600, San Antonio,
Texas 78216.  Schedule I to this Schedule 13D lists each  executive  officer and
director of CCI and Clear Channel.

     None of CCI, Clear Channel or, to the best of CCI's  knowledge,  any of the
executive  officers or  directors of CCI or Clear  Channel,  has during the last
five years been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
or similar  misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative  body of  competent  jurisdiction  which  resulted in a judgment,
decree  or final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violations with respect to such laws.

     CCI is a  corporation  formed  under the laws of the State of  Nevada,  and
Clear Channel is a corporation  formed under the laws of the State of Texas.  To
the best knowledge of CCI, all of its executive officers and directors,  as well
as those of Clear Channel, are United States citizens.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     8,089,877  shares of Common Stock were acquired by CCI from the Issuer upon
conversion of a convertible  subordinated  note previously  issued to CCI by the
Issuer. An additional  240,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased by CCI with
working capital in the Issuer's initial public offering.

Item 4.           Purpose of the Transaction.

CCI holds its  interest in the Issuer for  investment  purposes.  CCI intends to
continuously  review  its  position  in the  Issuer  and,  depending  on  future
evaluations of the business  prospects of the Issuer and on other  developments,
including but not limited to general economic and business  conditions and stock
market conditions,  CCI may retain or from time to time increase its holdings or
dispose  of all or a portion  of its  holdings  in the  Issuer,  subject  to any
restrictions on its ability to do so.

Except as may be set forth in this  Schedule  13D,  CCI has no present  plans or
proposals  which relate to or would result in: (a) any acquisition by any person
of additional  securities of the Issuer, or any disposition of securities of the
Issuer;  (b)  any  extraordinary  corporate  transaction,   such  as  a  merger,
reorganization  or liquidation  involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) any sale or transfer  of material  amounts of assets of the Issuer or any of
its  subsidiaries;  (d) any change in the Issuer's present Board of Directors or
management,  including  any plan or  proposals  to change  the number or term of
directors  or to fill any  existing  vacancies  on the board;  (e) any  material
change in the present  capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;  (f) any
other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate  structure;  (g) any
changes in the Issuer's charter,  by-laws or corresponding  instruments or other
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
(h)  any  delisting  from  a  national   securities  exchange  or  any  loss  of
authorization for quotation in an inter-dealer  quotation system of a registered
national securities  association of a class of securities of the Issuer; (i) any
termination  of  registration  pursuant to Section  12(g)(4)  of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,  of any class of equity  securities  of the
Issuer; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
               As of the date hereof,  CCI beneficially owns 8,329,877 shares of
     the Common Stock,  and such shares  constitute  approximately  31.9% of the
     issued and  outstanding  shares of the Common  Stock as of the date hereof.
     CCI has sole voting and dispositive  power over its shares of Common Stock,
     which are  entitled  to one vote per  share on each  matter  submitted  for
     stockholder  approval.  The Issuer also has outstanding 6,689,250 shares of
     Class B common stock, all of which are held by another investor,  which are
     entitled to three votes per share on each matter  submitted for stockholder
     approval  and  which are  convertible  into  shares  of  Common  Stock on a
     one-for-one basis subject to antidilution  protection if the Issuer effects
     a recapitalization.  As a result,  CCI's Common Stock presently  represents
     18.04%  of the  votes  entitled  to be cast  in any  matter  submitted  for
     stockholder  approval.  In  addition,   the  Issuer  also  has  outstanding
     10,715,310 shares of Series A convertible  preferred stock, all of which is
     held by other investors.  The Series A convertible preferred stock does not
     have any voting rights, but it is convertible at the election of the holder
     into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

         CCI may be deemed  to be a member of a group  (within  the  meaning  of
     Section  13(d)(3)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended
     ("Exchange  Act")) with the following  entities by virtue of a Shareholders
     Agreement  to  which  CCI is a  party  dated  July 7,  1999  ("Shareholders
     Agreement"): (1) General Motors Corporation ("General Motors"); (2) DIRECTV
     Enterprises,  Inc.  ("DIRECTV");  (3) American Mobile Satellite Corporation
     ("American Mobile"); (4) Columbia XM Radio Partners,  L.L.C.  ("Columbia");
     (5)  Telcom-XM  Investors,  L.L.C.  ("Telcom");  and (6)  Madison  Dearborn
     Capital  Partners III,  L.P.  ("M-D Capital  Partners"),  Madison  Dearborn
     Special Equity III, L.P. ("M-D Special Equity"),  and Special Advisors Fund
     I, L.L.C.  ("Special Advisors," and, together with M-D Capital Partners and
     M-D Special Equity, "Madison Dearborn"). CCI expressly disclaims beneficial
     ownership  of the  shares of Common  Stock of the  Issuer  held by  General
     Motors, DIRECTV,  American Mobile,  Columbia,  Telcom, or Madison Dearborn,
     and the filing of this  Schedule  13D by CCI shall not be  construed  as an
     admission by CCI that it is, for purposes of Section  13(d) of the Exchange
     Act,  the  beneficial  owner of any of the  shares of  Common  Stock of the
     Issuer held by General Motors, DIRECTV,  American Mobile, Columbia,  Telcom
     or Madison Dearborn.

     On October 8, 1999,  CCI  acquired  from the Issuer in a private  placement
8,089,877  shares of Common Stock upon  conversion  of a  $75,000,000  principal
amount (plus accrued interest)  convertible  subordinated note previously issued
to CCI by the Issuer,  at a conversion price of  approximately  $9.52 per share.
CCI also purchased  240,000 shares of the Common Stock on October 8, 1999 in the
Issuer's initial public offering at a price of $12.00 per share. Not applicable.
Not applicable.

Item 6.        Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

         CCI is a party to the Shareholders  Agreement along with the Issuer and
         the other investors  named therein,  which provides among other matters
         for certain restrictions on transfers of the Issuer's  securities,  the
         designation of members of the Issuer's Board of Directors by certain of
         the investors,  including CCI, and that each of the investors agrees to
         vote its  shares  of the  Issuer's  stock in  favor of the  persons  so
         designated  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of the  Shareholders
         Agreement.  The  summary  description  contained  in this Item 6 of the
         Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
         full  text of the  Shareholders  Agreement  which  is  incorporated  by
         reference herein and which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Amendment No. 1
         to the Registration  Statement of the Issuer on Form S-1, No. 333-83619
         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 1999.
