Well, in about a month the Christmas songs will start, so an adds date of, oh, October 19th would be about right. :)

This song will definitely be one of the more lively Christmas songs on the radio this year. I think it's a nice addition to her catalog.

This is not the greatest gainer. Kat McPhee's IBHFC is the greatest gainer...

It's strange, Kat McPhee is only on 20 stations, while Mariah is on 56, but McPhee is gaining more.

Wow it should be top 10 in the next week unless it suddenly crashes. Hopefully it can be her biggest AC hit since We Belong Together

Moves to #15 today, and also the #1 taking off on AC, 6 new stations, 69 new spins. Also, the greatest gainer!

AC spins holiday music more than any other format. Kimberly Locke, who does not get much play at any format, scored a few AC No. 1s with holiday tracks.
OS should easily hit the top 10, and probably top 5. The spins count is kinda low, though, for #16- but, a lot of AC stations are playing all-holiday music, and the songs getting high spins are recurrents.

Wow! It debuts at #12 on Billboards adult contemporary chart! :o
Here are Mariahs peaks on that chart since 2000. It is interesting what a huge adult contemporary artist she was in the 90s and yet Oh Santa is only her seventh song to chart there in the past 11 years. She obviously isnt putting out music that caters as much to them anymore so that is a big part of it. Its a sign of her career resuscitation that songs like Right to Dream and Angels Cry made the chart but Cant Take that Away and Bringin on the Heartbreak narrowly missed out. Its also interesting that Oh Santa is instantly her third biggest adult contemporary hit of the past 11 years and should definitely become at least her second biggest behind We Belong Together. Its funny that this being a Christmas song is what is making it such a big hit because if she released a song with very similar structure that didnt have a Christmas theme I doubt it would be a top 10 adult contemporary contender.
Never Too Far #17 Through the Rain #17 We Belong Together #3 Right to Dream #24 I Want to Know What Love Is #10 Angels Cry #26

Note that it takes a low number of spins to chart in the 21-30 range on the AC chart. Charting on AC doesn't really have anything to do with career "resuscitation"- witness IWTKWLI reaching No. 10 and it not having much impact on the album sales. Just saying.
AC chart welcomes new, format-accessible holiday songs with open arms, as you can see by all the debuts on AC this week.

I think I'm actually beginning to enjoy the requisite HolidayGuy rebuttal to anything remotely positive happening for Mariah.

You say it takes a low number of spins to chart in the 20-30 area and then talk about I Want to Know What Love Is going top 10 as an example. Make up your mind!! Adult contemporary radio seems more willing to play anything Mariah sends to them more now than they were around the time of Glitter. That is all I am saying.

Well, whatever the inspiration/motive for "Oh Santa" doing what it does on AC, i'll take it!
Oh, and let's not forget it's new 18 AC adds it received today! ;)

It didn't tumble down the chart after debuting at #3. It lingered for a while. I think you can credit that with at least moving a few thousand copies. Yes, it doesn't take a high spin count with the all holiday rotation, but it would still be a nice accomplishment for this to go top 5, maybe even hit #1.

All I'm saying is not to read into a holiday track doing well on AC radio as having anything to do with regular radio prospects- same for a track just charting at the lower region of the top 30 (i.e. "Right to Dream" and "Angels Cry"). Mostly, it's the 25-30 neighborhood of the AC chart that even in non-holiday periods sees low spins counts. On Mediabase, RTD peaked at just a little more than 100 spins in a given week, I think; not sure what the BDS count was.
RE Memoirs- keep in mind that some circular placement/sales helped keep the album on the chart a few additional weeks. It's possible that IWTKWLI also may have helped keep the album from nosediving.
It's great that "Oh Santa" thus far looks to be AC's choice of top new holiday tracks this year. Wouldn't be surprised if it hit No. 1 at AC, given its super-high entry.
