It sometimes question how 2015 ended up being so much better than 2014, they seem like polar opposites quality wise.

Same with 2015 and 2016. I still can't believe they are consecutive years because they each sound so different.

[iHype.]

Since this is a New Years dated chart it's a bit appropriate. Past 20% of the decade (in Billboard's tracking period), and here's my projections for the Decade-End so far.

Look at Mariah getting there as the only non-streaming era (and one of the only not featured on 213 songs) artist!

Was streaming really a thing in 2005, when Rihanna debuted?

True.

In that case, both Rihanna and Chris Brown are “non-Streaming” artists.

Also, technically speaking, streaming did exist back in the early 2000’s. It was just never a part of any chart formula and Mariah Carey was a pre-Spotify/AM streaming magnet...

“We Belong Together” was the most streamed song of 2005 on AOL, according to HDD, as well as the most searched. “Don’t Forget About Us” was the fifth most streamed song of 2006 on AOL. 😂

Since we're talking about each year of the 2010's musically, I'll give my personal opinion on each year (hopefully this isn't too off-topic):

2010: Great but everything sounded the same
2011: 2010 on steroids, and cleaner production
2012: THE PEAK OF MUSIC
2013: Great, so much variety!
2014: Great
2015: Pretty good, but a bit too corporate and minimalistic
2016: Decent
2017: Meh, trap was mainstream at this point and I HATED it at first
2018: Objectively the worst year of music in the decade
2019: AMAZING. This is when trap and pop merged, rhythm and melody combined in new ways
2020: Very mixed. Some great stuff, some crap
2021: AMAZING! I love the current direction music is headed in

Again, if this is too Off-Topic feel free to let me kno

Oof, what an awful period for pop music. I only (barely) like one of these 11 songs, and it's not any of the top 10.

Everyone's taste in music is different. I think this was an AMAZING top 11

Exactly, which just proves to show that comments such as the original poster's is pointless because it can literally be said about any top 10 for any week in the entirety of Billboard's existence.

How the top of the charts looked like in late 2014 when Title was supposed to be the 2nd single before being pulled in favor of Lips Are Movin: <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button>

most horrifying thing about that chart is seeing that Maroon 5 have been popular for that long

Oh, the terror.....

If that's what you honed in on from that list, girl you're just looking for ways to be horrified by them.

Exactly, and i think Billboard allowing album bombs is also playing a role here, Rihanna and Mariah's stats are indeed impressive as they didn't get those 10+ entries or weeks in every album release.

My guess is that there was probably a commercial. That usually explains rapid random increases on iTunes. Songs that go viral on TikTok usually see an increase in streaming.

Maybe this has been discussed before but is Mariah getting lackluster playlisting or something? No other reason I can think of that would result in her song being "just" #3 on Spotify.

Well as far as I'm aware "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is still being included in multiple holiday playlists on Spotify. Maybe certain people have gotten sick of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", And are streaming "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bell Rock" on Spotify instead.

It’s got to partially be because of Xmas songs taking away from other songs. When people stop playing xmas music, they’ll replace it with newer music again, so I’m sure we’ll see a bump for some songs back to over 1 million. I think that’s why Easy on Me has taken such a big hit, people streaming Adele are far more likely to play Xmas music, I would assume.
