Mariah Carey's 'Christmas' Back Atop Hot 100, As Dean Martin, Wham! & Chuck Berry Hit Top 10
By Gary Trust | 12/28/2020

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returns to No. 1, from No. 2, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a fifth total week on top. The song, originally released on Carey's album Merry Christmas in 1994, first reigned for three weeks last holiday season and added its fourth frame at No. 1 two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, three holiday classics reach the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time: Dean Martin's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," up from No. 11 to No. 8; Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (14-9); and Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" (29-10), as a one-week record nine holiday hits infuse the top 10.

Carey's "Christmas," on Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings, drew 54.9 million U.S. streams (up 35%) and sold 12,000 downloads (up 24%) in the week ending Dec. 24, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also tallied 33.7 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 11%) in the week ending Dec. 27.

The carol spends a ninth total week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart and rises 6-2 on Digital Song Sales and 17-13 on Radio Songs. It also rules the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 45th week, of the chart's 50 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the tally for 30 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.

Here are other presents that Carey receives with the latest coronation of "Christmas":

Most weeks at No. 1 for a holiday song: As it logs its fifth total week atop the Hot 100, "Christmas" solely claims the mark for the most time at No. 1 among holiday hits in the chart's 62-year, five-month history. One other Yuletide track has led the list: "The Chipmunk Song," by The Chipmunks with David Seville, for four weeks beginning in December 1958.

First song at No. 1 in three distinct years: Carey's "Christmas" becomes the first song to rank at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in three distinct years: 2019, 2020 and, now, 2021. It has led the lists dated Dec. 21 and 28, 2019; Jan. 4, 2020; Dec. 19, 2020; and Jan. 2, 2021.

(As reported when "Christmas" crowned the Hot 100 two weeks ago, only one other song in the chart's history boasts a longer span of appearing at No. 1: Chubby Checker's "The Twist" first topped the chart dated Sept. 19, 1960; Thanks to new popularity among adult audiences, it led again on Jan. 13 and 20, 1962. Notably, the longevity of "The Twist" helped spark its No. 1 status on the Greatest of All-Time Hot 100 recap.)

One more, up to 84: Carey adds her record-extending 84th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, dating to the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, inception.

Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot 100
84, Mariah Carey
60, Rihanna
59, The Beatles
50, Boyz II Men
50, Drake

"Christmas" last year became Carey's 19th Hot 100 No. 1, the most among soloists and lifting her to within one of The Beatles' overall record 20. It also made Carey the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades.

Happy new year: Carey has now placed at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in a record-extending 17 distinct years (per Hot 100 chart dates): 1990-2000, 2005-06, 2008 and, thanks to "Christmas," 2019-21.

Next up are three acts that have each spent time atop the Hot 100 in 10 individual years: Paul McCartney/Wings (1971, 1973-76, 1978, 1980, 1982-84); Michael Jackson (1972, 1979-80, 1983-84, 1987-88, 1991-92, 1995); and Madonna (1984-87, 1989-92, 1995, 2000).

Record-extending span of No. 1s: The latest week on top for "Christmas" extends Carey's artist record for the longest span of ranking at No. 1 on the Hot 100: 30 years and five months, dating to her first week at No. 1 on the chart dated Aug. 4, 1990, with "Vision of Love."

When "Christmas" first hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Dec. 21, 2019, Carey passed Cher, whose solo No. 1s span 27 years and five months, from "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" (from its first week at No. 1 in 1971) through "Believe" (through its last week on top in 1999). (If Cher's career as half of duo Sonny & Cher were combined with her solo output, her No. 1 span would cover 33 years, seven months and two weeks, from Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe," which reached the top in 1965, through "Believe.")

The next three songs on the Hot 100 all return to their peak positions first reached a year ago (on the Jan. 4, 2020-dated chart, whose top four mirrors this week's top four): Brenda Lee's 1958 classic "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" rises 3-2; the late Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock," first released in 1957, rises 4-3; and the late Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas," originally from 1964, pushes 6-4.

The Hot 100's top five is decorated entirely by holiday songs for the first time, as, rounding out the region, Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," originally from 1963, rises 7-5, besting its prior No. 6 high. Williams adds his third top five Hot 100 hit, following "Lonely Street" (No. 5, November 1959) and "Can't Get Used to Losing You" (No. 2, April 1963).

Williams breaks the record for the longest break between top five Hot 100 hits: 57 years, seven months and three weeks. He narrowly passes Lee, whose "Rockin' " last year returned her to the top five after a wait of 57 years and three weeks.

Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" hits a new No. 6 Hot 100 high, up from No. 10, two weeks after reaching the top 10 for the first time, 50 years after its original 1970 release.

24kGoldn's "Mood," featuring Iann Dior, is the only non-holiday song in the Hot 100's top 10, dropping 5-7 after six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, as it leads Radio Songs for a ninth week (81.3 million in audience, down 2%). It tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 17th week each and Hot Rap Songs for an 11th frame (with all three charts using the same methodology as the Hot 100).

Amid the flurry of holiday hits, Dean Martin's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," which the late legend first released in 1959, climbs 11-8 on the Hot 100, reaching the top 10 for the first time, with 31 million streams (up 40%), 16 million in radio reach (down 3%) and 1,000 sold (up 15%).

Martin (who died on Christmas Day 1995) appears in the Hot 100's top 10 with a fourth song, after posting his first three top 10s in 1964-65: "Everybody Loves Somebody" (No. 1, August 1964), "The Door Is Still Open to My Heart" (No. 6, November 1964) and "I Will" (No. 10, 1965).

Wham!'s "Last Christmas" likewise jingles to the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time (14-9). First released in 1984, it ascends with 28.3 million streams (up 41%), 19.1 million in airplay audience (up 5%) and 6,000 sold (up 38%).

The duo of George Michael (who died in 2016; like Martin, on Christmas Day) and Andrew Ridgeley adds its seventh Hot 100 top 10, after charting its first six in 1984-86: the No. 1s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Careless Whisper" and "Everything She Wants"; the No. 3 hits "Freedom" and "I'm Your Man"; and the No. 10-peaking "The Edge of Heaven." Wham! appears in the top 10 for the first time since Aug. 23, 1986 (the last week in the top 10 for "Heaven"); Subsequently, Michael notched 14 solo top 10s, including seven No. 1s, through 1996.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" soars 29-10. First released in 1958, the track sports 31.2 million streams (up 66%), 6.1 million airplay audience impressions (up 14%) and 5,000 sold (up 17%).

Berry, who died in March 2017, reins in his third Hot 100 top 10, after "No Particular Place to Go" (No. 10, July 1964) and his novelty hit "My Ding-a-Ling" (No. 1, two weeks, October 1972).

Meanwhile, "Rudolph" rewrites the record for the longest a song has taken to hit the Hot 100's top 10 from its debut: As it first appeared on the chart dated Dec. 15, 1958 (just over four months after the survey's inception), it reaches the top 10 after a journey of 62 years and two weeks. It passes the 60-year, two-week wait for Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" (Dec. 22, 1958-Jan. 5, 2019).

As noted above, a record-breaking nine holiday songs decorate the Hot 100's top 10, after a then-high six did a week ago.

As for last week's Hot 100 No. 1, Taylor Swift's "Willow" plummets from its debut at the top spot to No. 38 (due, in part, to the influx of holiday hits above it). The song makes the greatest fall from No. 1 to another rank on the Hot 100 in the chart's history, surpassing the 1-33 plunge for 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's "Trollz" on the July 4-dated survey.

and thanks to ancient holiday streaming playlists the most dead artists in a US singles chart ever...at least 15 of the acts contain dead members, with well over 20% of the chart. I can't be bothered to check but it's much higher than that.

Merry Christmas! laugh.gif

The US really love their ancient Xmas songs don't they. It's like only Mariah made a great Xmas song since the 1960s laugh.gif (although nice to see Wham! top ten for the first time!)

a few bits and bobs not mentioned:

Donny Hathaway's Xmas track has taken 49 years to make the US chart, The Jackson 5's 50 years, Nat King Cole's Deck The Halls 60 years, The Beach Boys 56 years, Thurl Ravenscroft 54 years, and also 54 years to get a debut hit, Bing Crosby's Hawaiian tune took 70 years to debut, Bing Crosby's 2nd World war song I'll Be Home For Christmas a whopping, breathtaking 77 years to debut - though it sold enough to feature in the Pre-Hot 100 charts of the day, it seems. As did White Christmas, the oldest recording to chart again at 78 years old and the biggest-selling single of all-time worldwide.

Oh, and it's about time the beloved Burl Ives charted in the UK again, he was a huge fave with kids in the 60's, not least due to songs like Ugly Bug Ball and Disney (& other) films like Summer Magic, and hit singles. Pretend you're 5-year-old me and enjoy this..

I believe 'Body' is being expected to challenge for top 10 next week!

Not surprised at 'willow' falling so hard - it did after all only get to #1 at all because of heavy discounting and remix spam, aka the latest trend labels are going with to secure #1 debuts since the bundling rule changes, plus it was competing with 500 Christmas songs and would have had a much less severe drop on any other week - but it's still disappointing as it's a fantastic song and it means the funnie haha of 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj holding the drop from #1 record lasted only a few months. Ah well, at least it should rebound next week.

Great to see Chuck Berry's Xmas track going top 10 for the first time (another record broken for the longest gap between entering the chart and making the top 10!) and first ever Hot 100 appearances for the songs from The Jackson 5 and shockingly The Beach Boys (I know Xmas songs historically either charted poorly or not at all in the US until the last decade or so but I would have guessed that would be an exception!)

99% of Americans don't even know what Fairytale Of New York is. If it weren't for reading Buzzjack and the UK chart even I wouldn't have any idea!

I love how it took Christmas songs to send Blinding Lights to recurrency tongue.gif


it was so close as it would be #26 I think if still on H100. it would easily score at least 5-10 more weeks after Xmas I think

I believe it is likely to just be allowed to re-enter next week, based on the precedent from last year where a few songs that were pushed to recurrent by Christmas songs only stayed recurrent for a week or two. Not really sure what the point of sending it recurrent for 1 week is but hey ~

I thought one of the reasons that track can re-enter top 50 is heavy promotion on Radio not just only being streamed enough (Blinding Lights was removed from Radio Chart as well, although, it's still top 10 on Kwob)

So more old songs can re-enter like Don't Start Now which is almost top 20 on Kwob and going OK on iTunes now as well

this re-moving rule really pisses me off

Don't Start Now apparently can't re-enter unless it's top 25 overall as it's already spent a year on the chart sad.gif

^Blinding Lights isnt top 25 either but after removing a whooping 20 xmas songs from top 25, even Don't Start Now can re-enter (it has risen a lot on radio and iTunes)
