Para bailar Mo Bamba
Para bailar Mo Bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Ay, arriba arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba, bam

Hope Feliz Navidad will join those Christmas songs on chart soon...

It dropped below the Holiday Songs that debuted in the Hot 100 this week. Weird thing is that you'd expect it to be the highest ranking in the Hot 100 Recurrents and from the preview I see Sleigh Ride and Here Comes Santa Claus in the top 4, but not Feliz Navidad. I'd still think it will re-enter the Hot 100 next week.

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

News

By Xander Zellner | December 11, 2018 10:00 AM EST
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.

With Meek, Lil Baby, and 6ix9ine likely taking big tumbles next week I could see a LOT of Christmas tunes joining the others in the top 50. The next couple of weeks are going to be insane.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

No songs from Scorpion in the Hot 100 this week. I do hope Don't Matter to Me does manage to re-enter it eventually.

I hope so, but won't XXX replace some of those that are dropping? It's also interesting that a lot Xmas songs have been going negative on the Spotify chart. I wonder if they changed the number of playlist or placement.

It could be that Holiday music sees a spike on the weekends as everyone is throwing Holiday parties last weekend, and the next couple of weekends.

Jimmie Allen's 'Best Shot' Is Longest-Leading Debut Country Airplay No. 1 Since 2001

12/11/2018 by Jim Asker


Also, Thomas Rhett And Jason Aldean add top 10s.

Jimmie Allen's "Best Shot" rebounds 2-1 for a third total week atop Billboard's Country Airplay chart (dated Dec. 15), attracting 36.7 million audience impressions (down 9 percent) for the tracking week ending Dec. 9, according to Nielsen Music. The song narrowly bests Mitchell Tenpenny's "Drunk Me" which surges 5-2 with Most Increased Audience honors (36.5 million, up 13 percent).

Allen's debut single originally hit No. 1 in its 40th week, on the chart dated Nov. 24, and held on for a second week atop the Dec. 1 list. In between the latter and latest frames, Kane Brown's "Lose It" topped the Dec. 8 tally.

Notably, "Best Shot" is the first song by any artist to return No. 1 on Country Airplay after descending in over a decade, since Jimmy Wayne's "Do You Believe Me Now," which first rose to the apex on Sept. 13, 2008. It revisited the top spot two weeks later, after a week at No. 1 for Brad Paisley's "Waitin' on a Woman."

"Seeing the resurgence of 'Best Shot' is a testament to how great of a team I have," Allen tells Billboard. "They have continued to fight for this song when so many others would have given up. I am so thankful to country radio and its listeners for their support.

Adds Allen of the love song, "Seeing 'Best Shot' connect with the hearts of so many is evidence that we are a lot more alike than we are different."

Meanwhile, "Shot" is the first debut hit to lead Country Airplay for as many as three weeks since Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," which reigned for three weeks beginning Dec. 15, 2012. As for the last time that an introductory hit by a solo male ruled for at least three weeks? Blake Shelton's freshman single, "Austin," dominated for five frames in 2001.

"SIXTEEN" = 10 Thomas Rhett earns his 12th top 10 on the airplay-, streaming- and sales-based Hot Country Songs chart, as "Sixteen" pushes 11-10. The song, which Rhett co-wrote with Sean Douglas and Joe Spargur, is from Rhett's album Life Changes, which debuted as his first No. 1 on both Top Country Albums and the all-genre Billboard 200 in September 2017.

"Sixteen" increases by 10 percent to 26.7 million impressions and climbs 8-6 on Country Airplay. It also bumps up by 13 percent to 3,000 downloads sold and four percent to 2.8 million U.S. streams.

Rhett's resume of 12 Hot Country Songs top 10s includes his lone No. 1 thus far, "Die a Happy Man," which ruled for 17 weeks beginning in November 2015. He first reached the top 10 with "It Goes Like This," which hit No. 2 in 2013.

ALDEAN TAKES "GIRL" TO TOP 10 Jason Aldean's "Girl Like You" hops 12-10 on Country Airplay, increasing by 13 percent to 21.9 million in audience.

"Girl" is Aldean's 29th Country Airplay top 10, lifting him past Clint Black (28), to take sole possession of 13th place for the most top 10s in the history of the survey, which launched Jan. 20, 1990. Among solo males, Aldean ranks 10th, directly behind Blake Shelton, with 31. George Strait leads all artists with 61 Country Airplay top 10s.

"Girl" is the third single from Aldean's album Rearview Town, which debuted atop both Top Country Albums and the Billboard 200 on April 28. "Girl" follows "Drowns the Whiskey," featuring Miranda Lambert, and the album's first single, "You Make It Easy," which topped Country Airplay for two weeks apiece in Aug. and May, respectively.

Aldean first reached the Country Airplay top 10 with his debut single, "Hicktown," which hit No. 10 in 2005. Next release "Why" in 2006 became the first of his 19 No. 1s.
