Seasonal songs
During the holiday season, which includes Christmas, these songs regularly appear on the Hot 100, generally departing from the chart after the holiday season ends. In recent years, seasonal songs have reached into the top ten, and in 2019, for only the second time ever on the Hot 100 (the first since 1958), made it to number one. This has led to all-time records for dropping off the Hot 100, including from number one, as the songs depart the chart regardless of their final chart positions during the season.
