This song is actually a holiday song, that has charted every single week that the Holiday 100 has been out:

Fun fact: this was the last recurrent breakout of the 2010s (if we consider the 01/04/2020 week to count for 2019, of course)

^ gotportugal, you took the words right out of my mouth! Also, I could be wrong, but wasn't there a day recently where AIWFCIY was in the top Spotify songs chart? Maybe I imagined that, but like considering it's almost at 700m streams (and plenty of other Christmas songs are over 100m), I think it'll be fine, especially considering Spotify is typically used by younger people.

Chile what the entire hell🤣🤣🤣

Christmas songs are going to chart, regardless if you are alone, coupled, homeless, whatever hahah. Covid is not gonna stop xmas songs circulating, just like it's not gonna stop people from traveling.

I’m sure thelegends is just trolling.

Those opinions can’t be real...

Surely?

[NeRD]

Holy becoming a legit hit huh? Good for her.

I'm not entirely sold on "positions" yet. It feels like a leftover from previous eras... so maybe it not going #1 could be a wake up call to Ari? Wouldn't be the end of the world for her tbh.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

He really thinks he can win against Ariana? or to be more precise, SCOOTER?

[m450n]

By tomorrow Digital downloads will be placed on Ari's website.

[strongerq]

wrip  Nope. The last time AIWFCIY was top 200 on Spotify US is 26th Dec. Last time it was top 200 on Global was 31st Dec.

But within the last 7 days(21-27) it has charted 6 times in the Netherlands, twice in Austria and once in Denmark.

This is when it entered Spotify US last year.  SOON^TM

Plus, it would probably go #1 the following week anyways. This way, we get two new #1 hits in two weeks. Everybody wins.

Fans aren't buying nearly as much as they expected.

[thegreatdivine]

I still think Ariana takes the #1 but Luke easily has the better song and he would make history in Country music with a #1 debut. Ariana just scores yet another boring #1 debut with a weak single that will more than likely reach #1 the following week anyway.

[ry4n]

Luke is overselling the "history" aspect -- Carrie Underwood already did debut at #1 on Hot 100 but that was before Hot Country Songs was just a mirror list of country songs on the Hot 100. It was an airplay-only chart, so obviously she didn't open at #1 there. 

I'm all for more variety at #1 but couldn't care less about Luke Combs' music. Haven't heard anything from him that made me want to check out an album yet.

ah gotcha, thanks for clarifying! come to think of it i feel like i must’ve heard about it charting in other places! i think my mind just told me it was spotify haha. and yeah i’m assuming once November comes, we’ll start to see it pop up everywhere like usual

[bigolefreak]

This is giving Old Town Road vs. ME! again.

Can Ariana pls just get it we have #1 single debut streaks to maintain... nobody will even remember this Luke Combs single in two months

[korbel16]

People are saying the Ariana album is more slow, like folklore. Positions was the most upbeat song on it, so i see why she chose it.

[korbel16]

It’s really crazy how if positions is number 1 then all 5 of her number ones debuted there. So cool

[KeepDeanWeird]

So Luke Combs makes this big announcement with NO DISCOUNT?

Nah, I actually believe them. We are in for a dark dark winter. Streams for Xmas music in 2020 will be way less than 2019.

[thelegends]

Please win Luke Combs. Wanna see him get a #1.

We’ll see. I correctly predicted in May 2018 that X and Migos would never collab.

yeah it will def start charting Nov 1st... can't believe we're arriving at yet another AIWFCIY season

[GP]

Predicting that the XMAS season will have lower streams than usual in a year where we're reaching 2017 low levels is very Nostradamus-like

[daysintheeast]

US Top 200 for the Christmas Week:

December 19-25, 2017: 571,127,342
December 19-25, 2018: 718,508,670
December 19-25, 2019: 701,202,215.

Im gonna guess streams will be less than 600mil this year for the week
