Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Makes Annual Return & Other Hot 100 Chart Moves

11/27/2018 by Gary Trust

The carol jingles back in at No. 29. Plus, debuts for Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Swae Lee and AJR.

As previously reported, Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" rules the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 1) for a third week.

Plus, Halsey's "Without Me" reaches No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, while holding at No. 4 on the Hot 100, and Panic! at the Disco's "High Hopes" ascends to the top of Radio Songs, while marking a new personal best for the Brendon Urie-led act on the Hot 100, where it lifts 8-6.

Who else makes notable Hot 100 chart moves?

"All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey

Carey's 1994 classic makes its yearly dash back to the Hot 100, re-entering at No. 29. It returns at No. 23 on Digital Song Sales (8,000 sold, up 49 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and No. 30 on Streaming Songs (14.4 million U.S. streams, also up 49 percent), while nearing Radio Songs (23.1 million in all-format airplay audience, up 138 percent, as radio stations, most notably in adult formats, segue to Christmas songs during the holiday season).

First released on Carey's 1994 album Merry Christmas, the carol hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time last year, reaching No. 9 (and becoming Carey's 28th top 10). Per Hot 100 rules, older songs are eligible to appear on the chart if showing gains in multiple metrics and ranking in the top 50.

Carey concurrently debuts at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums and No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with her new album, Caution (51,000 equivalent album units). Merry Christmas surges from No. 102 to No. 50 on the Billboard 200 (15,000, up 77 percent); it hit No. 3 on the chart in 1994.

"Close to Me," Ellie Goulding X Diplo feat. Swae Lee

Goulding continues her streak of having hit the Hot 100 each year since 2012, as the collab debuts at No. 98. The song starts with 5.6 million streams, up 23 percent. It climbs 8-6 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and 31-27 on the Pop Songs airplay chart.

Goulding hit a No. 2 Hot 100 high in her first visit, with "Lights," in 2012 and reached No. 3 with "Love Me Like You Do" in 2015.

"Burn the House Down," AJR

The brother trio charts its third Hot 100 entry, after "I'm Ready" (No. 65, 2014) and "Weak" (No. 73, 2017). "House" opens at No. 100 as it spends a 19th week in the Alternative Songs airplay chart's top 10, where it peaked at No. 2 for six weeks in September and October. It also pushes 24-22 on Adult Pop Songs.

Notably, AJR missed the Hot 100 with its prior single, "Sober Up," featuring Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. The track marked AJR's crossover from pop to alternative, topping Alternative Songs for two weeks in March. (It hit No. 7 on the Hot 100's Bubbling Under chart in June.)

ot That 'Speechless': Dan + Shay Score First Hot Country Songs No. 1; Jimmie Allen Holds Atop Country Airplay

11/27/2018 by Jim Asker



Michael Loccisano/Getty Images
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay perform onstage during the 52nd annual CMA Awards at the Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 14, 2018 in Nashville.

Dan + Shay, the duo of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, achieve their first No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, as "Speechless" (Warner Bros./WAR) leaps 5-1 on the airplay-, streaming- and sales-based survey dated Dec. 1.

"Speechless" is just the third Hot Country Songs No. 1 of 2018. Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" (Warner Bros./Big Machine Label Group) led for 50 straight weeks (starting Dec. 16, 2017) and was finally unseated on last week's (Nov. 24-dated) chart by Kane Brown's "Lose It" (Zone 4/RCA Nashville), which jumped 5-1 as parent album Experiment launched at No. 1 on Top Country Albums. "Lose" falls to No. 5 this week, while "Meant," in its 52nd frame, marking a full year on the tally, drops 2-4.


"Speechless," which Smyers and Mooney wrote with Laura Veltz and Jordan Reynolds, flies to No. 1 on Hot Country Songs on the strength of across-the-board gains, aided by the pair's performance of the ballad on the Nov. 19 season finale of ABC's Dancing With the Stars.

"Speechless" rebounds 3-1 for a fifth week atop Country Digital Song Sales (14,000 sold, up 29 percent, in the week ending Nov. 22, according to Nielsen Music); dips 3-6 on Country Streaming Songs (8.9 million U.S. streams, up 4 percent, in the week ending Nov. 22); and pushes 7-6 on Country Airplay (30.5 million audience impressions, up 3 percent, in the week ending Nov. 25).

"Speechless" follows the twosome's first five Hot Country Songs top 10s: "Tequila," which peaked at No. 2 on June 30; "How Not To" (No. 7, 2017); "From the Ground Up" (No. 3, 2016); "Nothin' Like You" (No. 5, 2015); and debut single, "19 You + Me" (No. 7, 2014). "Tequila," "Not," "Ground" and "Nothin' " all topped Country Airplay.

SECOND "BEST" Jimmie Allen's launch single "Best Shot" (Stoney Creek) leads Country Airplay for a second week, with 40 million impressions (down 4 percent). The song is the 13th multi-week No. 1, of 31 total toppers, on Country Airplay this year, following Luke Combs' "She Got the Best of Me" which led for four weeks; Old Dominion's "Hotel Key" (two); Luke Bryan's "Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset" (two); Jason Aldean's "Drowns the Whiskey," featuring Miranda Lambert (two); Brett Young's "Mercy" (two); Kenny Chesney's "Get Along" (two); Dan + Shay's "Tequila" (two); Kane Brown's "Heaven" (two); Aldean's "You Make It Easy" (two); Bryan's "Most People Are Good" (three); Thomas Rhett's "Marry Me" (two); and Russell Dickerson's "Yours" (two).

Similarly, in 2017, 12 of 33 songs that ascended to No. 1 on Country Airplay led for multiple weeks.

BENTLEY'S "BURNING" Dierks Bentley's "Burning Man" (Capitol Nashville), featuring Brothers Osborne, pushes 11-10 on Country Airplay, up 5 percent to 22.1 million impressions.

"Man" marks Bentley's 24th Country Airplay top 10, a sum that includes 16 No. 1s. He reigned with his debut single, "What Was I Thinkin'," in 2003.

Bentley ties Alabama for 18th place among acts with the most Country Airplay top 10s, dating to the chart's January 1990 inception. George Strait leads with 61.

Finally, Brothers Osborne bank their second Country Airplay top 10, after "Stay a Little Longer" reached No. 2 in 2016.

Yes. I could put my phone on silent and play the song 200 times in a day, throw it on my laptop and tablet and you have almost 1k daily streams. Sure people don't do that but it can be done. 

Even so, that wouldn’t be worth all that much in terms of chart points, would it?

I'm moreso using it as a theoretical. Imagine if 1000 people did that, would make it pretty big impact wouldn't it? And it wouldn't cost them a thing other than their subscription. But as others stated above, they might not count same counts from a similar IP. 

[Gary]

Imagine committing your computer, various other laptops and all phones in your house because you want to give your song more chart points.


Not sure what the exact numbers are now because they have changed the weighting system but it is fair to say that two people committing 5 devices 24 hours a day to one song will have the same impact chart point-wise as one person downloading the album it came from for 9.99

[Naos]

Why the hell is Billie Eilish all of a sudden gaining so traction? Has three songs in Bubbling Under, with a debut and re-entry in the Hot 100 this week.

There was that weird aberration in the late 60s/early 70s where airplay only counted for #s 51-100, and the top 50 were solely based on sales. And that odd stretch in the very early 80s where a song wasn't allowed to drop if it was still gaining points, even if the songs below it were gaining and would have jumped over them. It's why you regularly saw songs spending 4-6 weeks at random numbers like 12 or 16 or 24.

I also don't get why never seemed to be instances where a song could be #1 on Sales and like #45 on Airplay, similar to in the Soundscan era. From what I've seen almost every single sales #1 pre-Soundscan was atleast top 5 on airplay, and every #1 on airplay was atleast top 5 on Sales. There wasn't much realistic differences. Everything was always symmetrical.  

There were fewer outlets for music then...people often bought the songs they heard on the radio. And if something caught on on MTV and people bought it, then radio would often start playing it too. There are a few major exceptions, like Modern English's MTV classic "I Melt With You" not even making the top 70, but usually what you heard on the radio was what you were buying (and vice versa).

As radio got more heavily focus-grouped and targeted more specific audiences in the 90s, it was easier for an edgier song to have huge sales with Top 40 radio going nowhere near it (like "How Do U Want It", "Baby Got Back", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" etc). And now with streaming, and mainstream radio holding on to a handful of songs for months at a time, "what's popular" is an all-over-the-place subjective phrase.

[deepston]

Would love if "Without Me" topped the chart but I can't see Halsey going higher than #2 in the upcoming weeks.
Ariana's video is shaping up to be a juggernaut.

[jenglisbe]

Why didn't they start a Holiday 100 this chart week?

[renfield75]

I hope Wham!'s "Last Christmas" can finally make the top 40 this year.

[Gary]

Holiday 100 I am sure will come next week

They have historically ran the chart for just 5 weeks

This year there is an extra week

Since this past week included Thanksgiving you'd think they would have started it. I guess they wait until Black Friday week (which was also technically this past week in terms of airplay).

[HolidayGuy]

renfield- yes, that would be sweet. We've seen holiday classics from Nat "King" Cole, Andy Williams and Burl Ives do so in recent years; time for this one. (even though it's not about Christmas/the holiday season at all hehe)

There was that weird aberration in the late 60s/early 70s where airplay only counted for #s 51-100, and the top 50 were solely based on sales. And that odd stretch in the very early 80s where a song wasn't allowed to drop if it was still gaining points, even if the songs below it were gaining and would have jumped over them. It's why you regularly saw songs spending 4-6 weeks at random numbers like 12 or 16 or 24.

I also don't get why never seemed to be instances where a song could be #1 on Sales and like #45 on Airplay, similar to in the Soundscan era. From what I've seen almost every single sales #1 pre-Soundscan was atleast top 5 on airplay, and every #1 on airplay was atleast top 5 on Sales. There wasn't much realistic differences. Everything was always symmetrical.  

iHype, there are several reasons.  Pre-Soundscan, Airplay and Sales charts only ran 10/84 to 11/91 in Billboard - And those were years of very low single sales..  At times they were almost non-existent (Except very rare exceptions (We are the World, Wild Thing)).  This was the era of the last dying breath of vinyl 7" records, and the dawn of Cassingles which briefly re-ignited sales.  At the time, Paul Grein of Chart Beat said that because of the low sales, Mainstream Top 40 airplay was the primary metric for the Hot 100:  There were no Country singles at retail anymore.  Urban radio had a very small footprint, so rap singles and anything different from what was on Top 40 had very little mainstream cultural inertia.  (Maybe a Prince protege here or there would sell a bit better than its corresponding placement on Top 40 playlists, but for the most part, sales and airplay popularity dovetailed... until Top 40 had a crisis in 1989, 'died' in 1991 and extreme music (radio formats) started to take over (Hard rock, grunge, country, gangsta rap and harder r&b).  Coincidentally this changing of the musical guard - and collapse of Top 40 as the "Primary U.S. music Bellwether" - corresponded with the start of Soundscan and you started seeing the Hot 100 with huge sellers (due to cassingle growth) from non-top 40 friendly acts, mixed with - and suddenly at odds with - CHR airplay.

There really is no right or wrong answer. Everyone's opinion is different.

But more people would prefer "All I Want For Christmas is You" over "Zeze".

How would you know that. A lot more people seem to prefer Zeze over All I Want for Christmas based on the charts right now.

Girl.......

11/29/2018 by Kevin Rutherford

The band ties Van Halen for the second-most No. 1s in the chart's history.

Shinedown notches its 13th No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart as "Get Up," the second single from the Florida band's sixth studio album Attention Attention, rises 2-1 on the Dec. 1-dated list.

Shinedown first led the list with "Save Me" in 2005.

With its latest No. 1, Shinedown slots into a tie with Van Halen for the second-most leaders in the history of the chart, which began in 1981. Only Three Days Grace, with 14, has more.

Since this past week included Thanksgiving you'd think they would have started it. I guess they wait until Black Friday week (which was also technically this past week in terms of airplay).

Interestingly, all the other Holiday charts have been refreshed this week.

That's what makes it so odd. They've had Holiday Digital Songs for a couple weeks now, yet not the Holiday 100. So weird.

I have a feeling we will see it next week

Debbie Harry Charts First Alternative Songs Hit Since 1990, Thanks to Just Loud's 'Soul Train'
11/29/2018 by Kevin Rutherford

The Blondie icon debuts as a featured artist at No. 40.

For the first time in nearly three decades, Debbie Harry graces Billboard's Alternative Songs airplay chart.

The Blondie frontwoman debuts at No. 40 on the Dec. 1-dated tally as a featured artist on Just Loud's "Soul Train." Harry makes her fourth visit to the list, which began in 1988, and her first since her solo track "Kiss It Better" (credited to Deborah Harry), which peaked at No. 12 in January 1990.

Harry previously reached Alternative Songs with the No. 2-peaking "I Want That Man" (November 1989) and "Liar, Liar," which peaked on the very first Alternative Songs chart (No. 14, Sept. 10, 1988). (Blondie has never made the ranking, although it almost certainly would have had the chart existed during the band's late-'70s/early '80s prime.)

Harry has, however, recently appeared on a Billboard airplay chart. "Long Time," the lead single from Blondie's 2017 album Pollinator, hit No. 19 on the Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart in June 2017. The song marked the band's first on an airplay survey since "Maria" in 1999.

"Soul Train" is the second Alternative Songs-charting title in 2018 for New York-based singer Just Loud, following the No. 26-peaking "Electrified" (Aug. 4). His debut album is due in March 2019.
