Thanks for maintaining this.

A note: foru of these older holiday titles were new entries, so technically, they didn't re-chart on first entry. Potato, puhtotto. :)

Not sure why Joel Whitburn/Record Research counts re-entries as separate chart hits. RR's points system doesn't make sense in that regard, as some holiday singles re-entering annually end up with more points than a blockbuster No. 1 hit Unless RR has changed its point system in the last several years.

I agree, just working with what I got

The Christmas songs have not had consistently applied rules over the years

[jebsib]

RR hasn’t changed that policy yet... I think they contend that annual re-entries are not a given, and each new year (peak) is earned independently from previous years. They do group together reasonable re-entries (non-seasonal songs that fall off the chart for 2 to 20 weeks) like album bomb tracks that later become radio singles.

[HolidayGuy]

^Despite any rationale it offers, still a silly way to treat re-entries in regard to points. :)

Of course, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree is one. Which leaves:


It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)
A Holly Jolly Christmas
Jingle Bell Rock


And one of these...
Last Christmas
Feliz Navidad

By the way- for the 1/3/18 listing in an above post, it shows 30 as a peak for "Rockin' Around..."

[Gary]

Thanks for the catch - database error probably -the peak has been 14 for a while

From what i've seen in chart history, "Jingle Bell Rock", "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree", "Last Christmas" and Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" all returned this week in a lower position than their peak. Meanwhile "It's a Wonderful Time Of The Year" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas" both re-entered at new peaks (#21 and #26, respectively)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hot 100 Chart Moves: Holiday Favorites by Brenda Lee, Nat King Cole, Wham! & More Return

12/6/2018 by Xander Zellner

Andy Williams and Burl Ives' Christmas classics re-enter at new peaks, too.

December has arrived, snow has begun to fall and, of course, holiday music is soundtracking the season. From Brenda Lee to Nat King Cole, Wham! and more, multiple Christmas songs jingle their way back onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Dec. 8).

Above the six returning carols on the Hot 100, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" places highest among holiday tracks, leaping 29-14 in its second week back, earning top Streaming Gainer honors (up 53 percent to 22 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music), drawing 27.5 million radio audience impressions (up 19 percent) and selling 12,000 downloads (up 40 percent). The song presides over Billboard's Holiday 100 chart, which returns this week and ranks the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.

Carey's "Christmas" entered the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time last holiday season, 23 years after its 1994 release, reaching a No. 9 high.

Here's a look at all the holiday songs on the latest Hot 100 (with older songs eligible to chart if showing multi-metric gains and ranking in the top 50):

Rank, Title, Artist
No. 14, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey
No. 21, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams
No. 23, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee
No. 26, "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Burl Ives
No. 33, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms
No. 39, "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Nat King Cole
No. 43, "Last Christmas," Wham!

Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," at No. 21, and Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas," at No. 26, both re-enter the Hot 100 at new peaks. "Wonderful" previously reached No. 32 on the Jan. 3, 2018, chart, and hits a new high with 24.1 million in airplay audience (up 4 percent), 21.9 million streams (up 92 percent) and 3,000 sold (up 38 percent). The late legend had last charted higher on the Hot 100 in 1971 and reached his top placement with "Can't Get Used to Losing You," a No. 2 hit in 1963.

Ives' "Holly" also attains a new best Hot 100 rank with 25 million in radio reach (up 9 percent), 18.3 million streams (up 88 percent) and 3,000 sold (up 48 percent). The late singer logs his highest rank since Sept. 1, 1962, when his "Call Me Mr. In-Between" placed at No. 23 after reaching No. 19. He hit a personal-high No. 9 with "Itty Bitty Tear" earlier in 1962.


As previously reported, Travis Scott scores his first Hot 100 No. 1 as "Sicko Mode" reigns after spending four (nonconsecutive) weeks at No. 2, helped by the release of a Skrillex remix in the tracking week. "The whole idea when we made the song was to go 'sicko mode,' " Scott told Billboard. "What's more sicko mode than going No. 1?!"

Wham!'s 1984 Classic 'Last Christmas' Hits Billboard Hot 100's Top 40 for First Time
News
By Gary Trust | December 10, 2018 6:03 PM EST


The song climbs 43-34.
Wham!'s "Last Christmas," first released in 1984, reaches the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, rising from No. 43 to No. 34 (on the chart dated Dec. 15).
The song, written and produced by the duo's George Michael, marks its new milestone with 22.3 million in all-format radio audience, 14.4 million U.S. streams and 6,000 downloads sold in the tracking week, according to Nielsen Music. On the Holiday 100 chart, which ranks holiday songs of all eras, "Last Christmas" places at No. 7.

Wham!'s classic carol appeared on the Hot 100 for the first time two years ago, reaching a prior No. 41 high. As for why it didn't chart on the Hot 100 upon its original release, it was not then available as a commercial single in the U.S., and, per chart rules at the time, was ineligible for the Hot 100 (although it was released elsewhere in the world and charted in other countries). In the digital era, the track was made available for purchase as a download and via streaming platforms. (It was finally released as a physical single in the U.S. on the Black Friday edition of Record Store Day in 2014 as a 12-inch vinyl single (in red and green) in honor of its 30th anniversary.)

More chart fine print: Even if "Last Christmas" had been a commercially-available single in the U.S. when it was first released, it likely wouldn't have hit the Hot 100. As chart historian Joel Whitburn notes in his book Christmas in the Charts, "From 1963 through 1972, and from 1983 through 1985 [with minimal exceptions], Billboard published a seasonal Christmas Singles chart and did not chart Christmas singles on the Hot 100."

Per current Hot 100 rules (in place in recent years), older songs can rank in the top 50 if experiencing significant multi-metric resurgences, and multiple venerable holiday songs re-enter or debut each season.
Before Wham!'s original "Last Christmas" reached the Hot 100 in 2016 (the year that George Michael passed away that Christmas Day), two versions of the song had hit the chart: the Glee Cast's cover, which reached No. 63 in 2009, and Ariana Grande's (No. 96, 2013).

Among other versions of the song, Taylor Swift's 2007 cover hit No. 28 on the Hot Country Songs chart that holiday season.
Wham! (Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) adds its seventh top 40 Hot 100 hit and first in over 32 years. The duo had last reached the region with "The Edge of Heaven," which hit No. 10 in August 1986. The pair's first six top 40 entries all entered the top 10, with the first three all ruling at No. 1: "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Careless Whisper" and "Everything She Wants." "Freedom" and "I'm Your Man" then each hit No. 3.
