Mariahs last #1 at adult contemporary was One Sweet Day so that would be quite an accomplishment. For reference All I Want for Christmas is You peaked at #6 adult contemporary

It was very smart of her to have done that interview with Lite a few weeks ago. I think it aided in the interest of Oh Santa to AC. This is certain looking to do better than the top 10 spot IWKWLI did, which was still pretty nice. I'm also glad it picked it so many adds today here, too!

It's possible the AC chart was a bit more competitive back when AIWFCIY charted (especially with stricter recurrent rules not really in place). Also, that was before Adult Top 40 spun off into its own format, so, really, we were seeing a combo of AC and Hot AC stations (and Hot AC played holiday music less than AC).
BTW- the Memoirs album had dropped 95-142 on the 12/12/09 Billboard 200 in its 9th week, the week IWTKWLI held at No. 10 in its 11th week. So, not sure how much IWTKWLI helped that album from sliding, after all. Again, once the holiday season ended, the album moved back up and had some sales/circular placements in Best Buy and Target, which may have helped keep it on the chart more than anything else.
OS probably will jump to the AC top 5 next week- heck, maybe even 12-1. :)

^ She also toured during that time... and you cannot tell me that the album's minimal decreases were only because of sales/circular placements.

AC reports on Monday, and it received 18!

Compiled from Wikipedia info. Most look accurate, but didn't WBT reach No. 1 at AC?
Vision of Love: 1 Love Takes Time: 1 Someday: 5 I Don't Wanna Cry: 1 Emotions: 3 Can't Let Go: 1 Make it Happen: 13 I'll Be There: 1 Dreamlover: 2 Hero: 2 Without You: 4 Anytime You Need a Friend: 5 Endless Love: 11 All I Want For Christmas is You: 6 (highest-ranked of three new holiday tracks on the chart at its peak) Fantasy: 8 One Sweet Day: 1 Always Be My Baby: 2 Forever: 2 Butterfly: 10 My All: 18 When You Believe: 3 I Still Believe: 8 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 Oh Santa!: ?

No. WBT made the top 5, but didn't get to #1.

Ok- so it is accurate. I thought WBT swept these six formats- Mainstream Top 40, Rhythmic Top 40, Urban, Urban AC, Adult Top 40 and AC. Did it top Adult Top 40/Hot AC?
No. 3 was a good showing, and, obviously, it had longevity and gets high recurrent play at AC (during non-holiday times, that is).

Well, frankly, i'm merely going by what Wikipedia is saying. lol I also thought it reached #1 here, too. This might require a little investigation. If that is indeed the case, is she one of, if not the only artist to do it simultaneously?

Nope. WBT went to #3 AC and #16 adult top 40

Not even top 10 at Adult Top 40? It had such huge play at mainstream top 40, rhythmic top 40 and urban outlets that I guess it didn't matter.
Nonetheless, few singles achieve respectable play at six formats, so that's what helped it peak at some 213 million BDS audience.

Regardless of how big it was at other formats urban songs were not making the top 10 at Adult top 40 in 2005. In fact making it into the top 20 was quite a feat

But WBT was not strictly an urban song- i.e. it's not like it was a Mary J. Blige slow jam. It's pop/R&B. I agree, though, that the top 20 placement was impressive, as Mimi hadn't hit the top 20 at the format in some time prior to that.

It's a little crazy to look at the fact that Mimi is being played on 69 AC stations and the second closest is 47. Is that right or could that be wrong somehow? Looks like her main competition for the top spot will probably be the Glee Cast's version of "Last Christmas." But she should get there first.

I dont think the question is whether or not this song is going to go to #1. I think the real question should be whether or not this can stay at #1 for the whole Christmas season.

I don't know. The 'Glee' machine is on a roll right now.

But it must've charted last year? (Glee that is) It didn't debut on Billboard's AC chart this week. Mediabase may have Glee at #1 at some point, but looks like Billboard wont.

Or maybe Katherine McPhee will challenge. Four more AC charts to be published before holiday music disappears.

Oh, ok. I can't get into my AC mediabase chart for some reason. It is a big gap between the Glee song taking off and Oh Santa?
