12/5 Christmas Top 50

[Cerebro]

With the holidays upon us, I figured a weekly Christmas chart was appropriate. Here are the standings for the 12/5 chart. I had hoped to get this up sooner in the week, but what can you do...

EDIT: Had orange text for the Gold, but after looking at my post, I figured it'd be difficult to read. Besides, green fits the theme a lot better...

73

No doubt, the numbers will increase as the 25th approaches.

There is no URL, it's just compiled from the Christmas songs off Mediabase's current, recurrent, and gold charts.

so where did he get this info? did he calculate it himself??

Mediabase did all of the calculating.

I used the final updates from last Sunday (the updates that correspond to the 12/5 chart); pulled all of the Christmas songs out of the current, recurrent, and gold charts; and ranked them by spins.

I think someone on the R&R boards did this last year. Thought it'd be fun to do it again this year.

I plan on having the next chart up in the next day or so using the 12/12 data which finalizes tonight.

Willa Ford's "Santa Baby (Gimme Gimme Gimme)" was shipped back to radio stations and still nada? This gem can't be passed over TWICE! :'(

It made the NEW PeopleBase Top 50.

You'll be ecstatic to know it's vaulted from only 4 spins last week all the way up to 7 this week! It's gonna be a Willa Christmas, folks!

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra song just never gets old for me. What a truly great, yet dark rendition of a Christmas favorite.

Yahh! Go Toledo, one of my favorite stations that support all the best artists! :) Willa is about to jump Kelly Clarkson's "My Grown-Up Christmas List" -- how embarassing for Grammy nominated Kelly!

embarassing? Really? You must be joking.
