Billboard Hot 100: 12/10/2022

So, is "Anti-Hero" holding for another week? Given its airplay and sales lead, and not lagging that far behind in streaming, that could be the case. One never knows with reported YouTube views, as those are unfiltered.

Why isn't this "Everywhere" instead? That's both a Christine McVie song and in a Chevy ad's that's, well, everywhere right now. I get "Dreams" is their only #1 and it had its own TikTok resurgence a little while ago, but, shouldn't the song people gravitate to be one actually sung and written by Christine McVie?

Sadly most people probably aren't even cultured on Fleetwood Mac so that bolded part probably is just not being noticed. People are bandwagons especially when it's comes to music consumption so I'm simply

When Ric Ocasek died I remember "Drive" reentering on Spotify, the one Cars hit he didn't sing on. This is common.

[👑 Eloquent ™]

Personally, I'm fine with "Anti-Hero" clocking another week at #1. I love Mariah to no end (and she'll be topping again soon regardless), but I am so beyond tired of "All I Want For Christmas Is You". lol I will, however, riot, if Taylor blocks Brenda potentially hitting #1 finally (as I would prefer "Rockin" to even "Anti-Hero", well actually if it were up to me, "Oh Santa" would be spending its first year at the top, but I digress).

sadly most country listeners are hostile to change which is why the genre evolves at a snail's pace

Wouldn't isn't this sentiment as patronizing and stereotyping Southerners as being largely conservative? I'm not denying this doesn't exist or that it's not a huge problem but I don't like this broad generalization that people in the south are hostile to change whilst those in the west upper north or west, they "accept change" faster. 

hit the nail on the head here
this board has a lot of classist people who assume southern = stupid poor racists.

also while country music is slow to change (see Something in the Orange being one of the biggest country streaming songs of the year and not getting any radio play for months), that is because of radio’s dominance not because of some patronizing classist “analysis” of the south being reticent to change in comparison to the NE/West

Christmas songs are more rooted in tradition rather than the next latest single.

It's definitely an established cannon, but there's always a small amount of room for new songs to slowly rise up and earn their place (as AIWFCIY eventually did), as well as for older ones to slowly fade in prominence (such as White Christmas).

[jdanton2]

Billboard had a Christmas chart from 1963 -1973 and songs released during that period were able to reach #1 on that chart which would be very rare with the charts in recent years .it is interesting that the Brenda Lee song was never #1 during that period.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ Atop Hot 100 for Sixth Week, Six Holiday Classics Scale Top 10
Meanwhile, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" climbs to No. 2.

By Gary Trust

12/5/2022


Taylor Swift‘s “Anti-Hero” rules the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a sixth week, encompassing its entire run on the ranking so far. The single is just the 10th in the Hot 100’s history to have spent its first six weeks on the chart at No. 1.

Meanwhile, six holiday classics light up the Hot 100’s top 10, led by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which rises from No. 5 to No. 2 and becomes the most-streamed song in the U.S., while two carols return to the region: Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (19-9) and Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (23-10).

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Dec. 10, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Dec. 6). For all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.


In the Nov. 25-Dec. 1 tracking week, “Anti-Hero,” released on Republic Records, tallied 68.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 6%), 20.9 million streams (down 19%) and 13,000 sold (up 15%), according to Luminate. Aiding its sales sum, 10 previously-released versions of the song (its original, acoustic and instrumental versions; mixes featuring Bleachers; and its ILLENIUM, Jayda G, Kungs and Roosevelt remixes) were made available again in Swift’s webstore, discounted to 69 cents each, from late Nov. 30 through Dec. 1.

The single rebounds from No. 2 for a third week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart; holds at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs; and drops 2-6 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs.

As “Anti-Hero” tops the Hot 100 for a sixth week, Swift moves to within a week of her longest reign: “Blank Space” dominated for seven weeks in 2014-15.


Five weeks ago, “Anti-Hero” blasted in atop the Hot 100, as Swift made history as the first artist to monopolize the chart’s entire top 10 in a single week, with all tracks all from her new album Midnights.

Meanwhile, of the 64 singles that have debuted atop the Hot 100, “Anti-Hero” is just the 10th to have spent at least its first six weeks on the chart at No. 1.

Singles to Spend Their First Six Weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1:
Title, Artist, Year(s), Weeks at No. 1 from debut (marking titles’ total weeks at No. 1 unless otherwise noted)
“Anti-Hero,” Taylor Swift, 2022 (six, to-date)
“Butter,” BTS, 2021 (seven / 10 weeks at No. 1 total)
“Drivers License,” Olivia Rodrigo, 2021 (eight)
“God’s Plan,” Drake, 2018 (11)
“Hello,” Adele, 2015-16 (10)
“Born This Way,” Lady Gaga, 2011 (six)
“Candle in the Wind 1997″/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” 1997-98 (14)
“I’ll Be Missing You,” Puff Daddy & Faith Evans feat. 112, 1997 (11)
“One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 1995-96 (16)
“Fantasy,” Mariah Carey, 1995 (eight)

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” jingles 5-2 on the Hot 100, with 30.3 million streams (up 41%), 29.8 million airplay audience impressions (up 45%, good for top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100), and 5,000 sold (up 59%). It surges 3-1 for 16th cumulative week atop Streaming Songs, 14-7 on Digital Song Sales and dashes 38-23 on Radio Songs. It also crowns the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 53rd week, of the chart’s 58 total frames since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the ranking for 38 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season, and rules as the top title on the Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.

The song sports a record-setting history on the Hot 100, following its 1994 release on Carey’s 1994 album Merry Christmas. As streaming grew through the 2010s and holiday music became more prominent in Yuletide playlists on multiple streaming services, the song first hit the top 10 (reaching No. 9) in December 2017 and the top five (No. 3) in the 2018 holiday season. In December 2019, it ascended to the summit, 25 years after its original release, becoming the second holiday hit to reign, after “The Chipmunk Song” by David Seville & the Chipmunks spent four weeks at No. 1 beginning in December 1958.

“Christmas” became Carey’s 19th Hot 100 No. 1, as she extended her mark for the most leaders among soloists and pushed to within one of The Beatles’ overall record 20.

As “Christmas” dominated the Hot 100 for three weeks on the charts dated Dec. 21, 2019, through Jan. 4, 2020, Carey also became the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the survey in four distinct decades. The track led again for two weeks in the 2020 holiday season, passing “The Chipmunk Song” for the most for a seasonal song, and ruled for three more frames over the 2021 holidays, upping its total to eight weeks at No. 1.

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” originally released in 1958, climbs 6-3 on the Hot 100. It has peaked at No. 2 in each of the last three holiday seasons. The song claims the Hot 100’s top Streaming and Sales Gainer awards, up 51% to 29.9 million streams and 292% to 4,000 sold, while also soaring by 30% to 26.2 million in radio reach.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” slips 3-4 on the Hot 100, after it topped the Oct. 29-dated chart, as it leads Radio Songs for a third week (77.4 million in audience, up 8%).

The late Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock,” from 1957, rises 9-5 on the Hot 100 and the late Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” from 1964, advances 10-6. The standards have reached Nos. 3 and 4 respective peaks in each of the last three holiday seasons.

Drake and 21 Savage’s “Rich Flex” falls to No. 7 on the Hot 100 after spending its first three weeks on the chart at No. 2 (dating to its debut when Drake placed eight songs in the top 10 and 21 Savage, seven). The collab controls the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for a fourth week each.

Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” descends 4-8 on the Hot 100, following three weeks at No. 1 in October. It concurrently tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 15th week each and Hot R&B Songs for a 13th frame.


Andy Williams’ 1963 chestnut “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” roars 19-9 on the Hot 100; it hit a No. 5 high in the 2020 holiday season. The song’s latest week in the top 10 extends the late Williams’ record for the longest span of an artist appearing in the tier to 63 years and two months, dating to his first week in the top 10 with “Lonely Street,” on the chart dated Oct. 12, 1959.


Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Wham!’s “Last Christmas” jumps 23-10; released in 1984, the song by the duo of George Michael (who died in 2016) and Andrew Ridgeley first reached the top 10 during the 2020 holidays and lifted to a No. 7 high last holiday season.

Notably, Backstreet Boys’ new cover of “Last Christmas” spends a second week at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Adult Contemporary airplay chart. Praised Michael’s family and George Michael Entertainment on his official Facebook account of the coronation, “George would have been delighted. What a great start to December!”

It baffles me how Santa Tell Me can’t get on board on airplay and hit top 10.

AC is where the bulk of Christmas airplay comes from and they aren't itching to play newer Christmas songs much. Their current chart gets overwhelmed with new Christmas music, but with play counts only reaching like a third of normal play counts because AC plays the fuck out of classic Christmas tracks. Eventually, things like Santa Tell Me and Underneath the Tree will become staples on there, but for now it's still all Nat King Cole and Andy Williams and Bing Crosby with special guest stars Mariah Carey and Michael Buble since they've already become staples at AC.

Santa Tell Me will get the bulk of its airplay from pop and hot AC, both of which don't really go all out for Christmas music, so there's a limit to how much airplay newer Christmas perennials can get until they become old and beloved enough to be accepted into the rotation of classics.

Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ Jingles Back to No. 1 on Billboard Global 200 Chart
Plus, and Sam Smith & Kim Petras' "Unholy" adds an eighth week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.


By Gary Trust

12/5/2022

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” dashes from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, adding a ninth total week atop the tally since the list launched in 2020.

Plus, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” holds for an eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Meanwhile, holiday classics from Brenda Lee, Wham! and Bobby Helms resurge to the Global 200’s top 10.

The two global charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Billboard Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.


Carey’s ‘Christmas’ Sleighs Competition on Global 200

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” blasts 5-1 on the Billboard Global 200, with 64.5 million streams (up 47%) and 8,000 sold (up 62%) worldwide in the Nov. 25-Dec. 1 tracking week. The 1994 modern holiday classic adds a ninth week at No. 1, after it topped the chart for four weeks each in the 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons. Notably, the song leads a week earlier this year, on the chart dated Dec. 10, than in the past two years, as it first hit No. 1 on the Dec. 19, 2020, survey and returned to the top of the chart dated Dec. 18, 2021.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” keeps at No. 2 on the Global 200, following four weeks at No. 1 beginning in October, and Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” drops to No. 3 after four weeks at the summit starting in November.

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” originally released in 1958, bounds 19-4 on the Global 200, after reaching No. 3 in each of the past two holiday seasons, and Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” from 1984, jumps 21-5, after rising to No. 2 over the holidays the past two years. The latter also leaps 27-9 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, where it has likewise peaked at No. 2.

Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top 10, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock,” from 1957, roars 23-8, after hitting No. 4 in both the 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons.


Smith & Petras Continue Atop Global Excl. U.S.

Already 25 holiday songs are in the Hot 100. It seems very likely that the 39 record of holiday songs on the January 2, 2021 Hot 100 chart will be broken this holiday season at the current rate.

For sake of comparison, AIWFCIY was #4 in the comparable Hot 100 week last year vs. #2 this week. Also, it had 25.8 vs. 30.3 million streams, 23.4 vs. 29.8 million airplay audience and 5.8k vs 5k digital song sales.

And then there's this:
