Are we in the Christmas spirit yet? This week the gift giving continues with a 7-debut week (can Ryan Seacrest ever say that???) and some record smashes this week! Let's start with the fact that 2 more songs will not be returning in January as Andy Grammer & The Script go recurrent.
Last year Mariah Carey saw a 12-1 leap with "Oh Santa," this year a song she originated gets a 10-1 leap to the top spot as Michael Bublé claims the top with "All I Want For Christmas is You" causing Adele to be (for now) a one-week wonder. The last song to only spend 1 week at #1 was Katy Perry's "Firework." Bublé also leaps 17-9 with "Holly Jolly Christmas," 16-12 with "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas," 28-16 with "White Christmas" and has debuts at #22 and #23 giving Michael 1/5 of the AC chart, a record at least in this era. The record was previously held by Clay Aiken who had 5 appearances on the AC chart for January 1, 2005. The chart at that time was a top 40, so he had more of a shot there. Shall we do a special flashback?
So let's get Bublé's numbers. "AIWFCIY" marks his 4th #1 hit, his others being "Home," "Everything," and "Haven't Met You Yet," meaning he has now had #1 hits from 4 different albums. Holly Jolly Christmas is his 10th top 10 hit. He is now up to 12 top 20 hits and 18 AC hits total.
Let's just go in order this week since we have so much. Jim Brickman leaps 25-13 with "Fa La La." This marks Jim's 24th appearance in the top 20. "Thank You" featuring Matt Giraud peaked at #16 last December.
Christian singer Matthew West has the highest debut this week at #14. It's the highest AC debut since "Oh Santa" debuted at #12 last year. This marks Matthew's debut appearance on the AC chart.
Justin Bieber leaps 26-15 with Mistletoe making Justin 2 for 2 when it comes to the top 20. His duet with Mariah Carey jumps 18-11 this week.
Michael & Shania Twain leap 28-16 with "White Christmas." This is Shania's 11th top 20, meaning she has never missed the top 20. She has never peaked below #18, but she has peaked at #16 with "Party For Two," "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing." and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!." Will this be her 4th #16 peaker?
Cyndi Lauper and Norah Jones come together for the holidays on "Home For the Holidays" debuting at #20. This marks Cyndi's 6th AC appearance, and her 5th top 20 hit. She last charted on a new version of "Time After Time" with Sarah McLachlan. The new version peaked at #14 in January 2006. The original version to date is her only AC #1. For Norah Jones, this is her 4th AC hit and her 3rd top 20. Her last appearance was with "Chasing Pirates" which peaked at #13 in April 2010.
Chicago enters the chart at #21 with their rendition of the Sound of Music classic "My Favorite Things." This entry now means that Chicago has charted on AC in 5 different decades. They first charted in 1970 with "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" This is the band's 30th AC hit. Their last AC hit was "Love Will Come Back" which peaked at #21 in July 2006.
More debuts for Bublé at 22 and 23. At #23 he features the Puppini Sisters, an unrelated European trio giving an old sound a modern take. Think of a new version of the Andrews Sisters. This is their first AC appearance.
In one of the most interesting Christmas albums this years, She & Him have scored an AC hit with "Baby It's Cold Outside." "She" of course is Zooey Deschanel most famous atm for her role in The New Girl. She and partner M. Ward score their debut AC hit.
Another AC legend is coming home for Christmas. The last debut this week comes to us from the one and only Carole King. Carole's rendition of "Do You Hear What I Hear" enters at #26, giving her AC hit #18. Carole's last appearance on the AC chart was way back in 1992, when she reached #18 with "Now and Forever" from "A League of Their Own." Carole has one of those rare instances where she has hits in unconsecutive decades, completely missing in the 2000s. I her career she has had 10 top 10 hits, 4 of which have gone to #1.
There are now 14 Christmas songs in the top 30. Who else will come home for Christmas? Stay tuned!
