That’s not the point. They should just be on a separate chart from the real hits.

Why

They have a holiday 100 for a reason, to track the most popular holiday songs.

[thegreatdivine]

I still wonder about Gary. He's usually the one who posts all the charts for each tracking week. I hope he's doing okay.

[jebsib]

Gary signed off a day or two after Billboard put up the chart paywall. I bet he was legally threatened and just bailed.

Pity - I liked his moxy.

By that logic, we should also get rid of Hot R&B, Hip-Hop, Country, and Rock songs from the Hot 100 because the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Country Songs, and Rock Songs charts all exist as well to track the most popular songs in those genres with the same formula as the Hot 100.

And in fact, those songs from those genres spend more time on the chart than holiday songs do. If you want a fresh chart in that case, maybe get rid of those instead.

Find out disappointing that Marie Fredriksson and Roxette only managed to appear in the Social 50. I guess that's better than nothing.

Question for all of you chart nerds.

Mariah has now extended her lead of Hot 100 #1s for a solo artist. I was under the impression that she had been (arguably depending on who you ask) tied with Elvis Presley for this feat at 18 #1 singles but from all of the articles I’ve read it shows Mariah at 19, Rihanna at 14 and Michael Jackson with 13 with no mention of Elvis. Is this just an error in reporting?

Even Billboard didn’t mention Elvis though so I’m a bit confused. Have his #1 hits not counted recently due to some change?

This is probably due to the fact that Elvis's career was essentially split between the pre-Hot 100 and Hot 100.

Some of Elvis' number ones predate the introduction of the Hot 100 in 1958. I believe he only had eight number ones on the Hot 100.

Didn't thought Blinding Lights would drop THAT far, oops.

The news of her passing broke on Tuesday, so there were only a few days in the tracking week that would have been impacted (not that there likely would have been a big resurgence anyway). I was actually surprised there was as much reaction in the States as there was; as big as they were no one outside of my age group ever seems to know Roxette. Which is too bad, because they had some really great songs.

They also have a Country chart, a Pop chart, an R&B chart, etc. What would even be left once we take off songs that are eligible for component charts?

True. It's a shame that the music by these some of those older acts only becomes known to younger audiences if they pass away.

[clsvltn]

It still baffles me that people are upset that Christmas songs are charting lol

The Hot 100 is for the most popular songs of the week. And in this week, Mariah's was the most popular. Who cares if it was from 1994, 2004, 2014 or 2019, it was still one of the most important songs of the week and in our culture. It should be noted. If anything, the Hot 100 charts of the past were flawed for screwing over giant songs that are still legendary today that couldn't chart due to not having a physical single out.

It wouldn't be Pulse if some people weren't upset with it at least.

Yeah their songs that get released and have a chart run then fall off, not return every year like the holiday songs....

Sure, but there’s not enough time in the day for people to listen to all songs by all acts.

I'm pretty sure they gonna allow AIWFCIY to chart at every opportunity possible until it has reached 50 weeks at #1, 150 weeks in the top 10, and #1 on the GOAT list.

Juice WRLD Charts Seven Songs on Billboard Hot 100, Led by 'Lucid Dreams'
12/17/2019 by Xander Zellner

The rapper/singer's breakthrough hit returns to the top 10 after his death on Dec. 8.
Following Juice WRLD's death on Dec. 8, the late rapper/singer charts seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 21).

As previously reported, his breakthrough single "Lucid Dreams" re-enters at No. 8, returning to the top 10 for the first time since Dec. 8, 2018. It peaked at No. 2 on Oct. 6, 2018.

The track returns with 38.6 million U.S. streams (up 235%) in the week ending Dec. 12, according to Nielsen Music, as it also re-enters Streaming Songs at No. 2. It sold 8,000 downloads (up 1,637%) and returns to Digital Song Sales at No. 14 after drawing 9.9 million radio audience impressions (up 66%) in the tracking week.

Of Juice WRLD's seven entries on the latest Hot 100, four re-enter, while the other three continue their respective chart runs.




Here's a look at all seven of Juice WLRD's songs on the new, Dec. 21-dated Hot 100:

Hot 100 rank, Title
No. 8, "Lucid Dreams" (re-entry)
No. 12, "Bandit," with YoungBoy Never Broke Again
No. 29, "Legends" (re-entry)
No. 49, "Robbery" (re-entry)
No. 60, "Hate Me," with Ellie Goulding
No. 78, "6 Kiss" (Trippie Redd feat. Juice WRLD & YNW Melly)
No. 87, "Empty" (re-entry)

Juice WRLD (full name: Jarad Higgins) charted 25 songs on the Hot 100 during his lifetime, with two reaching the top 10 ("Lucid Dreams" and the No. 10-peaking "Bandit") and six hitting the top 40.

He charted 16 of those 25 titles on the Hot 100 in 2019, tied for sixth-most among all artists.

Concurrently, both of Juice WRLD's solo studio albums return to the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Goodbye & Good Riddance vaults 71-6 with 59,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. (up 405%), while his former No. 1, Death Race for Love, jumps 88-10 with 49,000 units (up 380%).

Because it's a non-issue and there really hasn't been a good point presented by that side of the argument yet. Their best argument is "they're old and clutter the chart." Yeah.... so are the recurrents they kick out, so...

They are old and clutter the chart... how is that a bad argument... and what recurrent songs are as old as the majority of these Christmas songs

The Hot 100 is about what’s hot, current and fresh (which is why reccurent rules exist). Songs charting from when President Kennedy was in office are NOT hot, current and fresh. Simple. And eventually these songs will end up littering the all time charts for being basically yearly background music.

This isn’t really an argument lol Billboard agrees with us anti-Holidayers and will ban them expeditiously. If we want to know the most popular Holiday songs of the week, we can just look at the good ol Holiday 100

[Mayman]

How are they not hot when they're some of the most consumed songs of the week?

So if a legacy artist dies, their songs should not be allowed to chart
If an old song regains popularity from a meme or commerical or use in a TV show or something, that shouldn't be reflected and allowed to chart
If a hugely popular album or single gets a special rerelease, say for an anniversary or reunion or something, that shouldn't be reflected and allowed to chart
If a live performance boosts an older song and it gets enough points to rechart, that shouldn't be reflected and allowed to chart

bad opinion, I want the hot 100 to reflect whats popular, not whats new. I can look at a Spotify playlist for that. If a bunch of songs from 61-63 (i think? Thats when Kennedy was in office?) randomly gain popularity and have enough points to chart, they should be able to chart. Period. If a song gets some random boost and it's big enough to chart on the Hot 100 again, than I would say it's "hot". Christmas songs are hot right now. There's no denying this, you can't just pretend that popular Christmas songs don't exist because you want an old 40-week song only around because of recurrent airplay to keep charting. Every argument against Christmas songs charting is just... bad.

A easy solution would be to stop recurrent rules during the holidays. That way the christmas music would still be allowed to chart, but st the same time songs like Old Town Road and Only Human that are still pretty popular dont get knocked out because of some songs from 70 years ago. Win-win situation for everyone

Yeah and you can't make up the definition of what "hot" means either.

And btw, I think Sunflower should still be charting and the 25/52 rule is really unnecessary.
