Billboard Hot 100: 12/12/2020

[KeepDeanWeird]

If people can discuss CB, I'll keep pushing the legitimacy of Xmas songs on H100: streaming on all services, 'real' sales, radio, and album sales (parent and compilations).

Xmas music IS the most consumed in the US during these tracking weeks and, therefore, the most popular. Meanwhile, the current #1 song....

I pray 'Circles' returns with that huge AC boost + YE countdowns, etc. so it can have a 2019-2021 chart run.

Wtf is “barely legal 2021” and why is it in Spotify’s top 50

Edit: “we turn up” & “so below”? Am I so out of touch I don’t know these or is it porky II the remix

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

"barely legal 2021" really comes across as a clickbait title, and thank goodness it wasn't anything disturbing as the single cover was suggesting.

"so below", on the other hand, is quite the banger, and if the artist is buying streams to push a song this catchy and well-produced, I'm not exactly complaining.

"We Turn Up" is a banger too, despite being quite the stark opposite of what one would expect. It reminds me of "... in Paris" 's hype production mixed with the lyricism of current Kanye - listen to it if you want to find out more 😉

TOTC says that this week’s top 50 is expected to contain around half Christmas songs, which is roughly the same as the week of January 4, 2020. Just ridiculous, and a bad sign for the current music market even considering the time of year.

I don't fully buy this as holiday songs are clogging the chart because they're popular. It's not like they have super low totals and are only charting because the music market sucks. 7 different holiday songs have over 1.1 million streams on Spotify, which would be fairly competitive throughout the year. The reality is people love holiday music.

I hate to admit it, as much as I hate Chris Brown as a person, he keeps delivering bangers. Stop trying to force feed me pop girl music Pulse. His songs are just too good.

There are way better R&B singers out there that deserve more success and airplay than Chris Brown's mediocrity.

Y’all not complaining about Beyonce who monopolizes female R&B just as much as Chris Brown does male R&B whether her music is good or not. I guess it’s not her fault that white institutions would rather give her all the R&B awards and urban radio loves her. Come to think of it: weird how Drake, Beyonce and Chris all light skinned (mixed or mgm) all have a monopoly on their respective genres. Is that by design? 

Chris Brown continues to succeed because of black, straight male sympathy, his black successful male peers love him and employ him for features, and because he is a light skinned pretty boy. He has no other competitions because black people will not support R&B and have a crab mentality so radio will play a Chris Brown record by default. Take away radio support and he would have no current hits, same with Beyonce. Also, his supporters fail to mention how every song he  leads as a solo artist continues to flop. It seems like the only time he can get a hit is when he tags along with someone with more popularity, here it’s  Thugger. Last time, it was Drake. With that said, people want Chris Brown to win so bad even though he is a s**t person and continues to be; however, these are the same people anti-bullying , anti domestic violence, etc. You see how hypocritical the world is? Lol. This is why Kim K is more revered than Michelle Obama. People LOVE trash.

Go Crazy is a nice catchy song and i'm glad its doing fine. Rihanna forgave him so who am i to hold grugdes towards him?

What’s weird to me is gay men are always coming to Chris’ defense. The same person who beat up Frank Ocean and called him a f**. This is why I have removed myself from the lgbt community. Fix it Jesus.

When was the last time he had a real pop radio hit anyway? I’d like to think it’s Don’t Wake Me Up unless there’s a more recent song I’m forgetting.

Did you just forget No Guidance was in the Top 10 for over 20 weeks last year?

No Guidance was not a top 10 pop hit. It stalled outside of the top 20.

I thought dikiti was supposed to be #3 ?

Must be due to the kpop award show rush so all of kpop is getting a boost. Also some Armys are obsessed over longevity so they buy more so that it looks like an organic hit.

Meghan Trainor & Seth MacFarlane's 'White Christmas' Glistens at No. 1 on Adult Contemporary Chart

By Gary Trust
12/7/2020

The song is the first holiday hit to lead the list this season.

Meghan Trainor's "White Christmas," featuring Seth MacFarlane, jingles all the way to No. 1 (from No. 6) on Billboard's Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart (dated Dec. 12).

The cover gifts Trainor her second AC No. 1, after she led as featured on Brett Eldredge's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" for a week in the 2016-17 holiday season. (Her other charted AC holiday hit, original composition "I'll Be Home," rose to No. 5 in 2014-15.)

MacFarlane, the creator of the Fox TV series Family Guy and The Orville, and writer, director and star of the films Ted and Ted 2, among others, scores his first AC No. 1 and first leader on any Billboard airplay chart. (He previously topped Jazz Albums, Traditional Jazz Albums and Heatseekers Albums.)
Artists Mentioned

The carol is from A Very Trainor Christmas, which hit No. 7 on Billboard's Top Holiday Albums chart in November.

The iconic Irving Berlin composition previously reached a No. 2 AC high, thanks to a virtual collaboration version by Michael Bublé and Bing Crosby in 2012. Crosby's classic original was released in 1942 and is, according to Guinness World Records, the best-selling song of all-time.

Trainor and MacFarlane's "White Christmas" is additionally the 25th holiday No. 1 on the AC chart since 2000, around the time that a majority of stations in the format began playing seasonal songs 24/7 between Thanksgiving and Christmas each year.

Here's an updated recap of all the holiday songs that have hung atop AC's highest bough since 2000:

24kGoldn's 'Mood' Scores Sixth Week at No. 1 on Hot 100, Mariah Carey's 'Christmas' Dashes to No. 2

www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9495405/iann-dior-24kgoldn-mood-number-one-sixth-week


24kGoldn's "Mood," featuring Iann Dior, rebounds from No. 2 for a sixth total week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

"Mood," released on RECORDS/Columbia Records, and the first Hot 100 No. 1 for both 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, drew 19 million U.S. streams (down 13%) and sold 5,000 downloads (down 27%) in the week ending Dec. 3, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also tallied 86.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 1%) in the week ending Dec. 6.

The track spends a sixth week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, falls 2-7 on Streaming Songs and rises 16-15 on Digital Song Sales. It tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 15th week each and Hot Rap Songs for an eighth frame (with all three charts using the same methodology as the Hot 100).

---

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" flies 14-2 on the Hot 100 with 26.4 million U.S. streams (up 50%), 24.5 million airplay audience impressions (up 17%) and 7,000 sold (up 52%) in the tracking week. It bounds 7-1 on Streaming Songs for a sixth total week on top (and is the only holiday song to have led, dating to the survey's January 2013 inception); 32-9 on Digital Song Sales; and 34-27 on Radio Songs. It also crowns the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 42nd week, of the chart's 47 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the tally for 27 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.

In December 2017, "Christmas" hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time, while last year it ascended to the summit, 25 years after its original release, becoming the second holiday hit ever to reign. ("The Chipmunk Song," by The Chipmunks with David Seville, spent four weeks at No. beginning in December 1958.) Carey claimed her 19th Hot 100 No. 1, as she extended her mark for the most among soloists and moved to within one of The Beatles' overall record 20.

As "Christmas" dominated for three weeks on the Hot 100 charts dated Dec. 21, 2019, through Jan. 4, 2020, Carey also became the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades.

Ariana Grande's "Positions" rebounds 4-3 on the Hot 100, after it led the Nov. 7-dated chart upon its debut.

Brenda Lee's 1958 classic "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" soars 21-4 on the Hot 100, up by 62% to 24.2 million streams, 9% to 19.5 million in radio reach and 23% to 9,000 sold. It jumps 13-3 on Streaming Songs, 19-5 on Digital Song Sales and 42-36 on Radio Songs.

Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez charge to the Hot 100's top five as "Dakiti" leaps 15-5, reaching a new best after the song debuted at its prior No. 8 high on the Nov. 21 chart. As Bad Bunny's album El Ultimo Tour del Mundo, released Nov. 27 and which includes "Dakiti," opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 116,000 equivalent album units, the collaboration returns to its No. 2 high, from No. 3, on Streaming Songs (24.1 million, up 14%).

"Dakiti" becomes Bad Bunny's third top five Hot 100 hit, following his Cardi B and J Balvin team-up "I Like It," which spent a week at No. 1, and "MIA," featuring Drake (No. 5 debut and peak), both in 2018. "Dakiti," Cortez's first top five Hot 100 entry, concurrently tops the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart for a fifth week.

Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later," featuring Lil Durk, pushes 7-6 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 2 peak, and notches a sixth week atop the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (where it marks Drake's record-setting 21st No. 1).

Justin Bieber's "Holy," featuring Chance the Rapper, backtracks 6-7 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 3 high, and Gabby Barrett's "I Hope," featuring Charlie Puth, drops 5-8, after reaching No. 3, as it dominates the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a 19th week.

Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock," first released in 1957, gallops 31-9 on the Hot 100, up by 58% to 18.9 million streams, 7% to 19.3 million in radio audience and 41% to 5,000 sold. It vaults 18-5 on Streaming Songs, 36-13 on Digital Song Sales and 41-37 on Radio Songs.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, BTS' "Dynamite" descends 3-10, after the South Korean group's first all-English language single premiered as its first Hot 100 No. 1. This week, it becomes BTS' first Radio Songs top 10 (11-10; 44.5 million, down 4%). The single is also the first Radio Songs top 10 by an all-South Korean act; previously, PSY hit a No. 12 high with "Gangnam Style" in 2012.

(Outside the Hot 100's top tier, BTS' "Life Goes On" tumbles from No. 1, where it launched a week earlier, becoming BTS' third No. 1 and the chart's first leader sung predominantly in Korean, to No. 28. The song makes the second-greatest fall from the top spot, behind only the 1-33 plummet for 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's "Trollz" on the July 4-dated chart.)
