Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the 20th Century's Most-Streamed Song, Says Label

News

By Shelby Reitman | December 10, 2018 7:30 PM EST

The classic rock hit is aging exceptionally well.

Boosted by the recent success of the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen's iconic song of the same name is aging gracefully -- to say the least. On Monday (Dec. 10), Universal Music Group (UMG) announced the song is officially the most-streamed track from the 20th century, achieving more than 1.6 billion global streams.

That qualification also makes it the most-streamed classic rock song of all time, edging out Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O'Mine" and "November Rain" and a-ha's "Take on Me" in both categories. The ranking considers all registered streams on global on-demand streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and others, as well as streams from official song or video streams on YouTube.

Queen guitarist and founding member Brian May said in a statement, "So the River of Rock Music has metamorphosed into streams! Very happy that our music is still flowing to the max!"

Added Lucian Grainge, chairman and CEO of UMG: "'Bohemian Rhapsody' is one the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands in history. We are so proud to represent Queen and are thrilled to see the song still inspiring new fans around the world more than four decades after its release. My congratulations to Queen and [manager] Jim Beach on an incredible achievement that is a testament to the enduring brilliance of Queen."

Since its release in 1975 with the album A Night at the Opera, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has proven a resilient hit. On May 9, 1992, it peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart, more than 16 years after its original release, thanks to the success of the movie Wayne’s World and its head-banging sequence to the song. In 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Last month, following the release of Bohemian Rhapsody, the song re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 33, marking its third appearance on the chart. It also landed at No. 41 on the Streaming Songs chart with a 77 percent surge to 13.3 million U.S. streams on the chart dated Nov. 17.

According to a UMG spokesperson, the label and its teams around the world actively promoted discovery across streaming platforms to introduce the song to new fans around the world in the streaming era, more than 40 years after its original release.

Dean Martin Scores First Billboard Hot 100 Entry in Nearly 50 Years With 'Let It Snow'

News

Dean Martin


Louis Prima holds the record for longest span between Hot 100 hits.

Late legend Dean Martin returns to the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Dec. 15) after almost half a century, as his version of the seasonal standard "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," debuts at No. 41. He earns his first entry in 49 years, three months and 16 days.

He had last appeared on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 30, 1969, with "I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am," which peaked at No. 75 in its last week.

Still, Martin doesn't break the record for the longest gap between Hot 100 entries. That distinction belongs to late jazz star Louis Prima, who, as featured on Kids See Ghosts' "4th Dimension," went 57 years, four months and 10 days between his previous Hot 100 hit, "Wonderland by Night," in February 1961 and his return earlier this year on "Dimension," on June 23.

(Per rules put in place earlier this decade, older songs, like Martin's "Snow," are eligible to chart on the Hot 100 if gaining in multiple metrics and ranking in the top 50.)

Original Rat Pack member Martin has a storied history on the Hot 100. Including "Snow," he has earned 28 total entries, with his first 27 charting between 1958 (the Hot 100's inaugural year) and 1969. He earned a trio of top 10s: "Everybody Loves Somebody" spent a week at No. 1 (Aug. 15, 1964); "The Door Is Still Open to My Heart" reached No. 6 (Nov. 14, 1964); and "I Will" hit No. 10 (Dec. 11, 1965).

Fellow Rat Packer Frank Sinatra logged 43 Hot 100 entries, while Sammy Davis Jr. earned 10.

On the Holiday 100 chart, which ranks holiday hits of all eras, "Snow" places at No. 9.

Over on the Billboard 200, Martin's The Dean Martin Christmas Album, which includes "Snow," vaults from No. 102 to No. 72 with 13,000 equivalent album units (up 36 percent), according to Nielsen Music, earning him his highest-charting album in 11 years, since Forever Cool reached No. 39 in 2007. Plus, Christmas With Dino, which also houses "Snow," re-enters at No. 156 (8,000, up 93 percent).

Martin died on Christmas Day 1995 at age 78 from acute respiratory failure.

Hot 100 Chart Moves: Mariah Carey's 'Christmas' Hits New High, Andy Williams Goes Top 20 and Gene Autry Debuts

News

By Xander Zellner | December 12, 2018 10:42 AM EST
Mariah Carey



Carey's 1994 carol surges to No. 7 and Autry makes his first Hot 100 appearance.

Holiday music continues to storm the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as nine seasonal songs debut, re-enter or reach new peaks on the latest list (dated Dec. 15).

As previously reported, Mariah Carey leads the pack, as her holiday staple "All I Want for Christmas Is You" leaps from No. 14 to No. 7, hitting a new peak, after it reached the top 10 (No. 9) for the first time last year. The song surges with 30.4 million radio audience impressions (up 11 percent), 28.5 million U.S. streams (up 29 percent), 15,000 downloads sold (up 28 percent) in the tracking week, according to Nielsen Music. With the ascent, Carey achieves her highest rank since "Obsessed" reached No. 7 in 2009.

"Christmas" concurrently leads Billboard's Holiday 100 chart, which ranks the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.

Also as previously noted, Wham!'s "Last Christmas," from 1984, makes its first visit to the Hot 100's top 40, rising 43-34, and the late Dean Martin appears on the chart for the first time in nearly 50 years, as "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" storms in at No. 41.

Late country legend Gene Autry earns his first-ever Hot 100 entry, as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has a very shiny debut at No. 36. Autry (who died at age 91 in 1998) released the track in 1949, nine years before the Hot 100 launched, and it finally debuts, gaining by 40 percent to 18.5 million U.S. streams. (Per chart rules put in place this decade, older songs, like Autry's, Carey's, Wham!'s and Martin's, are eligible to chart on the Hot 100 if showing multi-metric gains and ranking in the top 50.)

Plus, Autry's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Other Christmas Classics leaps 68-49 on the Billboard 200, up 41 percent to 17,000 equivalent album units.

Here is a rundown of all the holiday songs on the Dec. 15-dated Hot 100:

Rank, Title, Artist
No. 7, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey (up from No. 14)
No. 16, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams (up from No. 21)
No. 21, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee (up from No. 23)
No. 22, "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Burl Ives (up from No. 26)
No. 26, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms (up from No. 22)
No. 29, "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Nat King Cole (up from No. 39)
No. 34, "Last Christmas," Wham! (up from No. 43)
No. 36, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Gene Autry (debut)
No. 41, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," Dean Martin (debut)

Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the year" enters the Hot 100's top 20 for the first time, rising 21-16. The track earns Williams (who passed away at age 84 in 2012) his ninth top 20 hit and first since 1971, when "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" reached No. 9. Among his 40 total Hot 100 hits, he earned four top 10s.

Also reaching new peaks: Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" and Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)." Ives and Cole sport their highest Hot 100 ranks since 1962 and 1964, respectively, while Helms continues climbing with his top-charted title.

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Is Highest-Charting Billboard Hot 100 Holiday Hit in 60 Years
12/17/2018 by Gary Trust

Carey's 1994 carol trails only David Seville & The Chipmunks' 1958 No. 1 'The Chipmunk Song.'
Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" becomes the highest-charting yuletide hit in 60 years on the Billboard Hot 100, as it rises from No. 7 to No. 6 (on the chart dated Dec. 22).

Carey's carol is the top-charting song of the season on the Hot 100 since "The Chipmunk Song," by David Seville and The Chipmunks, which remains the only such single to have hit No. 1, for four weeks beginning Dec. 22, 1958 (just after the chart's inception that Aug. 4).


Carey's "Christmas," first released in 1994, hit the top 10 for the first time last holiday season, reaching No. 9; a week ago, it bested that rank, rising to No. 7.
"Christmas" passes two No. 7-peaking Christmas-season songs, by Kenny G and New Kids on the Block, and now trails only "The Chipmunk Song" as the highest-charting such hit in the Hot 100's 60-year history:
Highest-Charting Holiday Songs in the Hot 100's History
No. 1 peak, four weeks, beginning Dec. 22, 1958, "The Chipmunk Song," by David Seville & The Chipmunks
No. 6, Dec. 22, 2018, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey
No. 7, Jan. 8, 2000, "Auld Lang Syne," Kenny G
No. 7, Jan. 6, 1990, "This One's for the Children," New Kids on the Block
No. 9, Feb. 21, 1981, "Same Old Lang Syne," Dan Fogelberg
No. 11, Nov. 5, 2011, "Mistletoe," Justin Bieber
No. 12, Jan. 6, 1962, "White Christmas," Bing Crosby
No. 13, Dec. 22, 2018, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams
No. 13, Dec. 21, 2013, "Little Drummer Boy," Pentatonix
No. 13, Jan. 19, 1985, "Do They Know It's Christmas?," Band-Aid
No. 13, Jan. 12, 1959, "The Little Drummer Boy," Harry Simeone Chorale
No. 14, Dec. 26, 1960, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee
No. 15, Dec. 22, 2018, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms
No. 15, Jan. 11, 1964, "Pretty Paper," Roy Orbison
No. 16, Jan. 31, 1970, "Winter World of Love," Engelbert Humperdinck
No. 18, Jan. 1, 2000, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," Christina Aguilera
No. 18, Jan. 6, 1979, "Please Come Home for Christmas," Eagles

Two other songs on the list above this week hit new Hot 100 highs: Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" rises 16-13, and Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" jingle-hops 26-15 (after first appearing on the Hot 100 in 1958, a year after its original release).

As for holiday songs and their eligibility for the Hot 100 over the years, their history is a bit spotty, due in part to shifts in chart rules. 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, including seasonal titles, can rank in the top 50 if experiencing significant multi-metric gains, and multiple venerable holiday songs re-enter or debut each season.

Not included on the list above are songs with ties to the holiday season but more for their timing, having become hits around Christmastime, than their lyrical content. For instance, Annie Lennox and Al Green's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" peaked at No. 9 on the Hot 100 in January 1989; it was released from the Scrooged movie soundtrack, but had first been a hit for Jackie DeShannon in August 1969. "Hazy Shade of Winter" includes a lyric about a "Salvation Army band," and was a winter hit for both Simon & Garfunkel (No. 13, 1966) and The Bangles (No. 2, 1988), but is not generally regarded as a Christmas-themed song. And, The Royal Guardsmen hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in December 1966 with "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron," but it is seasonal spinoff "Snoopy's Christmas," from 1967, that has become a holiday favorite.

Also not considered for the purposes of this research were songs related to other holidays, such as Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers' "Monster Mash" (No. 1 on the Hot 100 for two weeks in October 1962) or Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (No. 4, March 1984), each of which resurges each Halloween.
Carey's modern classic tops the Holiday 100 chart for a 33rd of 38 total weeks since the survey began in 2011 and is the top seasonal hit in all metrics; it rises 8-6 on the Streaming Songs chart, also a new best, passing its prior No. 7 high reached last holiday season (28.1 million U.S. streams, down 1 percent, according to Nielsen Music); 9-7 on Digital Song Sales (14,000 downloads sold, down 6 percent); and 32-24 on Radio Songs (34.5 million in airplay audience, up 14 percent).

Carey co-wrote and co-produced "Christmas" with Walter Afanasieff, who, in 2014, upon the song's 20th anniversary, told Billboard, "To me, it's kind of a cosmic occurrence that happens once every five billion years. Thousands of original Christmas songs have been written in the last 20 years. It's not like no one writes Christmas songs; everyone is trying to get a Christmas song. But for whatever reason, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' just became that song."

Also helping the song's momentum in recent years, Carey began her All I Want for Christmas Is You: A Night of Joy and Festivity residency, which has run in multiple years since beginning in New York in 2014.
"I believe," Afanasieff mused, "'All I Want for Christmas is You' will be the most successful, popular Christmas song of all time."

Plus, Gene Autry earns his second Hot 100 hit and Jose Feliciano returns.
Holiday music continues to reach new heights on the Billboard Hot 100, as 12 seasonal songs light up the latest list (dated Dec. 22), including four in the top 20.
As previously reported, Mariah Carey leads the way with "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which rises 7-6, hitting a new peak and becoming the highest-charting holiday hit on the Hot 100 in 60 years (only David Seville and The Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" has charted higher, at No. 1 for four weeks in 1958-59).

Carey's 1994 classic rises with 34.5 million radio audience impressions, 28.1 million U.S. streams and 14,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music.


"Christmas" also leads Billboard's Holiday 100 chart for a 33rd total week. The survey ranks the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.

Next up among yuletide tunes, Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" reaches a new peak, rising 16-13. It drew 31.4 million streams and 25.2 million in radio reach and sold 4,000 in the tracking week. The late crooner appears at his highest rank since 1971, when "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" hit No. 9, becoming his fourth Hot 100 top 10. (Per chart rules put in place this decade, older songs are eligible to debut on or return to the Hot 100 if showing multi-metric gains and ranking in the top 50.)


The Ronettes return to the Hot 100 after a 52-year break, earning their ninth entry with "Sleigh Ride," at No. 41. The trio, originally consisting of Veronica "Ronnie" Spector (nee Bennett), Estelle Bennett and Nedra Talley, released the Phil Spector-produced track in 1963, and it debuts at last, up 11 percent to 15.5 million streams. (Click here for details on the eligibility, or lack thereof, of holiday hits on the Hot 100 over the years.)

The Ronettes, who disbanded in 1968, earned eight Hot 100 entries between 1963 and 1966, including five top 40 hits and one top 10: "Be My Baby" peaked at No. 2 on Oct. 12, 1963. Eddie Money interpolated the song, with Ronnie Spector, for his 1986 hit "Take Me Home Tonight," which reached No. 4, while the original "Baby" received more new exposure thanks to its inclusion in the box office blockbuster Dirty Dancing and its soundtrack in 1987.

Until this week, The Ronettes had last appeared on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 29, 1966, when "I Can Hear Music" spent a week on the chart at No. 100.

Here's a look at all the holiday songs on the new, Dec. 22-dated Hot 100:
Rank, Title, Artist
No. 6, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey (up from No. 7)
No. 13, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams (up from No. 16)
No. 15, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms (up from No. 26)
No. 18, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee (up from No. 21)
No. 21, "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Burl Ives (up from No. 22)
No. 24, "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Nat King Cole (up from No. 29)
No. 27, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Gene Autry (up from No. 36)
No. 31, "Last Christmas," Wham! (up from No. 34)
No. 32, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," Dean Martin (up from No. 41)
No. 40, "Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)," Gene Autry (debut)
No. 41, "Sleigh Ride," The Ronettes (debut)
No. 42, "Feliz Navidad," Jose Feliciano (re-entry)

Gene Autry earns his second-ever Hot 100 entry with "Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)" (No. 40), after making his first visit last week with "Rudolph." Autry, who died in 1998, first released "Santa" in 1947, 11 years before the Hot 100 launched.
Plus, Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" re-enters at a new No. 42 high. Feliciano, 73, is seeking his third top 40 hit and first in 50 years; "Light My Fire" and "Hi-Heel Sneakers" hits Nos. 3 and 25, respectively, in 1968.

Mariah Carey On Biggest Hot 100 Holiday Hit in 60 Years: 'This Is the Star On Top Of My Christmas Tree'
News
By Gary Trust | December 19, 2018 2:14 PM EST


Carey celebrates the latest surge for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' up to No. 6 this week.
As previously reported, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" becomes the highest-charting yuletide hit in 60 years on the Billboard Hot 100, as it dashes from No. 7 to No. 6 (on the chart dated Dec. 22).

Carey's carol is the top-charting song of the season on the Hot 100 since "The Chipmunk Song," by David Seville and The Chipmunks, which remains the only such single to have hit No. 1, for four weeks beginning Dec. 22, 1958.

Among those celebrating the honor: Carey herself.
"It never ceases to amaze me when this song re-emerges on the Billboard charts every year," Carey tells Billboard of her perennial hit in an exclusive statement. "What an incredible Christmas gift. It's been an amazing year for me with the release of my album Caution, and this is the star on top of my Christmas tree. Thank you everyone for the support."

Carey's "Christmas," first released on her Merry Christmas album in 1994, hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time last holiday season, reaching No. 9; a week ago, it bested that rank, rising to No. 7.
"Christmas" passes two No. 7-peaking Christmas-season songs, Kenny G's "Auld Lang Syne" and New Kids on the Block's "This One's for the Children," and now trails only "The Chipmunk Song" as the highest-charting such hit in the Hot 100's 60-year history. (Click here for details on the eligibility of holiday hits on the Hot 100 over the years.)

Carey's modern classic tops the Holiday 100 chart for a 33rd of 38 total weeks since the survey began in 2011 and is the top seasonal song in all metrics; it rises 8-6 on the Streaming Songs chart (28.1 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music); 9-7 on Digital Song Sales (14,000 downloads sold); and 32-24 on Radio Songs (34.5 million in airplay audience).

Carey's latest album, Caution, debuted as her eighth No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart (dated Dec. 1). It opened as her 18th top 10 on the Billboard 200. The set also launched at No. 1 on Top R&B Albums and, a week later, Carey became the first artist to replace herself at No. 1 on the survey when Merry Christmas hit the apex for the first time. Merry Christmas spends a third week at No. 1 on the latest, Dec. 22-dated Top R&B Albums chart, up 5 percent to 33,000 equivalent album units.

John Lennon & Paul McCartney Holiday Classics Hit Hot 100 at Last, Among 20 Seasonal Songs on the Chart
12/25/2018 by Gary Trust


Plus, debuts from Perry Como to Katy Perry.


As previously reported, Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" tops the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 29) for a sixth week.
Plus, late legend Andy Williams ends a record gap of over 47 years between top 10 Hot 100 hits, as "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" rises 13-10, reaching the top 10 for the first time after he recorded the classic carol in 1963.
"Wonderful" is one of a sleighful of holiday hits, 20 in all, that appear on the latest Hot 100, including new singles this season by Katy Perry and Lauren Daigle that each debut.

(As previously noted, regarding holiday songs and their eligibility, or lack thereof, for the Hot 100 over the years, 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, including seasonal titles, can rank in the top 50 if experiencing significant multi-metric gains, and multiple holiday standards re-enter or debut each season. Plus, streaming has helped several holiday songs reach new highs on the Hot 100.)
Let's run down all 20 yuletide tunes on the latest Hot 100.

No. 7, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey (down from No. 6)

No. 10, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams (up from No. 13, new peak)
The songs make for a historic double decoration, as multiple holiday titles rank in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously for the first time in the chart's 60-year history.

No. 11, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee (up from No. 18, new peak)
Lee's song jumps past its prior No. 14 peak, set in 1960, its first year on the chart (after she recorded it in 1958). It bullets at No. 12 on the Streaming Songs chart with 29.9 million U.S. streams, up 16 percent, according to Nielsen Music; roars 38-28 on Radio Songs (33.3 million in audience, up 15 percent); and dips 29-39 on Digital Song Sales but with a 2 percent gain to 7,000 sold.

"We cut that, as you do most Christmas songs, in the heat of summer," Lee recently recalled to Billboard of the recording session for "Tree." "I remember I walked into [legendary Nashville studio] the Quonset Hut, where I did everything. [Producer] Owen [Bradley] had it all decked out like Christmas. I was only 12 going on 13, so that was a biggie to me. Everybody was dressed Christmas-y and the lights were low. He had a Christmas tree. It was wonderful."

No. 12, "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Burl Ives (up from No. 21, new peak)
The late crooner boasts his highest Hot 100 rank since his first two entries, and sole top 10s, in 1962: "Little Bitty Tear" (No. 9 peak, that February) and "Funny Way of Laughin' " (No. 10, that May). He places in the top 20 for the first time since Aug. 25, 1962, when "Call Me Mr. In-Between" reached No. 19.

No. 13, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms (up from No. 15, new peak)

No. 17, "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Nat King Cole (up from No. 24, new peak)
Similar to Ives, the late Cole ranks in the Hot 100's top 20 for the first time since November 1963, when "That Sunday, That Summer" reached No. 12. (He was not officially credited on daughter Natalie Cole's virtual duet with her father on "Unforgettable," which hit No. 14 in 1991.)

No. 27, "Last Christmas," Wham! (up from No. 31, new peak)

No. 28, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Gene Autry (down from No. 27)

No. 32, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," Dean Martin (same rank)

No. 33, "Sleigh Ride," The Ronettes (up from No. 41, new peak)
The Ronettes score their first top 40 Hot 100 in 54 years; "Walking in the Rain" became their fifth and, until this week, most recent such single, reaching No. 23 in December 1964.

No. 34, "Feliz Navidad," Jose Feliciano (up from 42, new peak)
Feliciano notches his third top 40 Hot 100 hit and first in 50 years; "Light My Fire" and "Hi-Heel Sneakers" hits Nos. 3 and 25, respectively, in 1968.

No. 35, "Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)," Gene Autry (up from No. 40, new peak)

No. 41, "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays," Perry Como (debut)

No. 42, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters (debut)
Como, who died in 2001 at age 88, adds his 21st and 22nd Hot 100 entries. He had last appeared on the list with his only other charted holiday song: "Christmas Dream" reached No. 92 in December 1974.

No. 45, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band With The Harlem Community Choir (debut)
John Lennon's signature seasonal song reaches the Hot 100 for the first time, after it was first released in 1971. It debuts at No. 45 on Streaming Songs (13.2 million, up 33 percent), while gaining by 10 percent to 16.6 million in airplay audience.
The late Beatle appears on the Hot 100 for the first time in over 30 years, since "Jealous Guy" (also with The Plastic Ono Band) reached No. 80 in fall 1988. Until this week, he last ranked higher with "Nobody Told Me," a No. 5 hit in 1984. Yoko Ono makes her first Hot 100 visit since 1981, when "Walking on a Thin Line" stepped to No. 58.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson's remake of "Happy Xmas," featuring Sean Ono Lennon, John and Yoko's son, debuts at No. 7 on Holiday Digital Song Sales (6,000 sold).

No. 47, "Wonderful Christmastime," Paul McCartney (debut)
McCartney's 1979 carol makes its first Hot 100 appearance, as it debuts at No. 50 on Streaming Songs (12.1 million, up 27 percent) and increases by 13 percent to 18.5 million in radio reach. McCartney adds the 47th Hot 100 entry of his solo career (including his work with Wings), to go along with 71 by The Beatles.
Lennon and McCartney debut solo songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously for the first time. They had last appeared on the chart together as soloists on the chart dated March 1, 1975 (in between the 1971 and 1979 releases of their current charted titles), when Lennon's "#9 Dream" ranked at No. 13 and McCartney's "Junior's Farm"/"Sally G" was at (a notable number in Beatles lore) No. 64.

No. 48, "White Christmas," Bing Crosby (re-entry)
Both the late Crosby and his iconic ballad reach the Hot 100 for the first time since 1962, when the song hit its No. 12 high.

No. 50, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Darlene Love (debut)
Love achieves her fifth Hot 100 hit; she notched her first three in 1963 and her fourth, "All Alone on Christmas" (from the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York), in January 1993, reaching No. 83. Love first recorded and released "Baby" in 1963.

No. 68, "Cozy Little Christmas," Katy Perry (debut)
Along with the 18 decades-old holiday hits above, two 2018 songs enter, led by Perry's Amazon Music exclusive (on Capitol Records). As previously reported, the song takes over at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

No. 90, "The Christmas Song," Lauren Daigle (debut)
Daigle collects her second Hot 100 entry, below "You Say," at No. 59. The tracks rank at Nos. 1 and 2 on the Hot Christian Songs chart.

[Gary]

Ives had last hit the Hot 100's top 10 in 1962, with his sole two other top 10s: "Funny Way of Laughin' " (No. 10 peak that May) and "A Little Bitty Tear" (No. 9, that February).
All-time holiday top 10s on the Hot 100: Helms, Lee and Ives add just the seventh, eighth and ninth yuletide hits ever to reach the Hot 100's top 10 (with the rise of streaming assisting their, and Carey's, ascents).

Elvis Presley Earns Highest-Charting Billboard Hot 100 Hit Since 1978 as 'Blue Christmas' Jingles In at No. 40

1/1/2019 by Gary Trust


Plus, returns for Chuck Berry & Frank Sinatra.

Elvis Presley appears in the Billboard Hot 100's top 40 for the first time since 1978, as his classic carol "Blue Christmas" debuts at last, at No. 40 on the chart dated Jan. 5. Powered by streaming, it zooms 48-32 on the Streaming Songs chart, up 61 percent to 21.3 million U.S. streams in the Dec. 21-27 tracking week, according to Nielsen Music. It also drew 9.6 million in airplay audience (in the week ending Dec. 30).


Presley had last ranked in the Hot 100's top 40 on the chart dated Jan. 14, 1978, when "My Way" placed at No. 35 after reaching No. 22 in December 1977; the King of Rock and Roll died Aug. 16, 1977.



"Christmas," recorded and first released by Presley in 1957, arrives as his 81st top 40 Hot 100 hit, tying Lil Wayne for the second-best total in the chart's history (with Presley's career predating the survey's 1958 inception). Drake leads with 94 top 40 hits.

Presley adds his 109th Hot 100 entry overall and first since "Rubberneckin'," which reached No. 94 in 2003. The Glee Cast holds the record with 207 Hot 100 visits, followed by Drake (192) and Lil Wayne (161). Rounding out the top five, below Presley, Nicki Minaj has tallied 102 charted titles.



Here's a look at all 23 holiday songs on the latest Hot 100:

No. 3, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey (up from No. 7; new peak, becoming the first top-five holiday hit on the Hot 100 in nearly 60 years)
No. 8, "Jingle Bell Rock," Bobby Helms (up from No. 13; new peak)
No. 9, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee (up from No. 11; new peak)
No. 10, "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Burl Ives (up from No. 12; new peak)
No. 11, "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Nat King Cole (up from No. 17; new peak)
No. 13, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Andy Williams (down from No. 10 peak)
No. 16, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Gene Autry (up from No. 28; new peak; concurrently, parent set Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Other Christmas Classics becomes Autry's first No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart)
No. 20, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," Dean Martin (up from No. 32; new peak)
No. 25, "Last Christmas," Wham! (up from No. 27; new peak)
No. 26, "Sleigh Ride," The Ronettes (up from No. 33; new peak)
No. 28, "Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)," Gene Autry (up from No. 35; new peak)
No. 29, "Feliz Navidad," Jose Feliciano (up from No. 34; new peak)
No. 32, "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays," Perry Como (up from No. 41; new peak; thanks to this song and his classic at No. 35, Como ranks in the Hot 100's top 40 for the first time since July 1973)
No. 34, "White Christmas," Bing Crosby (up from No. 48)
No. 35, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters (up from No. 42; new peak)
No. 40, "Blue Christmas," Elvis Presley (debut)
No. 42, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir (up from No. 45; new peak)
No. 43, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Darlene Love (up from No. 50; new peak)
No. 44, "Underneath the Tree," Kelly Clarkson (re-entry; new peak)
No. 45, "Run Rudolph Run," Chuck Berry (re-entry; new peak)
No. 49, "Jingle Bells," Frank Sinatra (debut)
No. 53, "Cozy Little Christmas," Katy Perry (up from No. 68; new peak)
No. 55, "The Christmas Song," Lauren Daigle (up from No. 90; new peak; plus, it becomes Daigle's fourth No. 1 on the Hot Christian Songs chart, dethroning her own "You Say" after 23 weeks on top)

Also notably, Chuck Berry and Frank Sinatra, like Presley, return to the Hot 100 after several decades.

Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" re-enters at No. 45, marking the first Hot 100 appearance for the late legend (who died in March 2017), since 1972, when novelty song "My Ding-a-Ling" became his sole No. 1. "Run" debuted and hit a previous No. 69 peak in December 1958.

At No. 49, Sinatra (who passed away in 1998) graces the Hot 100 for the first time since 1980, when "Theme From New York, New York" reached No. 32.

Meanwhile, Sinatra sends a version of "Jingle Bells" onto the Hot 100 for the first time. The standard was written by James Lord Pierpont and it was first published, as "One Horse Open Sleigh," in 1857 (101 years before the Hot 100's birth).

As Berry, Presley, Nat King Cole, Perry Como and Dean Martin all ranked on the inaugural Hot 100, dated Aug. 4, 1958, the icons share the record for the longest span of appearances, stretching across the chart's entire existence (60 years and five months).

(As for holiday songs and their eligibility, or lack thereof, for the Hot 100 over the years, 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, including seasonal titles, can rank in the top 50 if experiencing significant multi-metric gains, and multiple holiday standards re-enter or debut each season.)

As previously reported, Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" tops the Hot 100 for a seventh week.

'Baby Shark' Debuts in Billboard Hot 100's Top 40

1/8/2019 by Kevin Rutherford

The viral children's song, which spawned a dance challenge following the release of Pinkfong's 2016 version, bows at No. 32.

Another viral dance challenge has sparked a placement on the Billboard Hot 100, as Pinkfong's "Baby Shark" debuts at No. 32 on the list dated Jan. 12.

Some background for the uninitiated: "Baby Shark," whose origins date back decades, is a participatory children's song/nursery rhyme in which singers act out each verse with their hands and arms, from the eponymous youngest member of a family to the parents and grandparents.

In 2016, Pinkfong, a South Korea-based educational brand, created its version of the song and a subsequent video that has been the basis for the track's meme status. The so-called Baby Shark Challenge finds participants dancing along to the song and mimicking its commands when applicable, with social media services and the app TikTok among the hotbeds of activity for the challenge.



Initially going viral in Indonesia, "Baby Shark" spread globally before entering U.S. waters, beginning with its debut on the Kid Digital Song Sales chart in July 2018. It made its first appearance on the Streaming Songs chart in November.

Now, thanks to the song's continued streaming growth as well as the freefall of 23 seasonal titles off the Hot 100 this week post-holidays, "Baby Shark" bows at No. 32. (Given its original 2016 release date, the song needed to accumulate enough chart points to appear in the Hot 100's top 50 before it was eligible to chart, per chart rules regarding older songs.)

In the latest streaming tracking week, ending Jan. 3, "Baby Shark" earned 20.8 million streams, according to Nielsen Music, good for a new No. 16 peak on Streaming Songs. Of that sum, video views continue to be a major driver of the song's success: 73 percent. While the data that feeds Streaming Songs is U.S.-based, thanks to the track's worldwide popularity, "Baby Shark" has attracted 2.1 billion global views on YouTube to date, ranking it among the 30 most-viewed videos in the platform's history.


While streaming is the main catalyst for the song's Hot 100 entrance, "Baby Shark" also moved 3,000 digital downloads in the tracking week. It places at No. 2 on Kid Digital Song Sales, which it led for 11 weeks, beginning in September.

As previously reported, Halsey earns her first Hot 100 No. 1 as a lead artist, as "Without Me" ascends to the summit.

Although 'Baby Shark' history dates back to 2007, looks the the "single" is from 2016

So BS counts as a recurrent (2016) that entered chart for first time. I was trying to figure out how it met criteria of this thread because I would've certainly remembered something so odd charting. Thanks for all the data, Gary. You're the best!

Where will the 'Baby Shark' bite this week?
