The Weeknd's 'Heartless' Hits No. 1 on Hot 100, Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Returns to No. 3 High

12/9/2019 by Gary Trust

 

The Weeknd blasts to his fourth No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, as "Heartless" vaults from No. 32 to the top spot in its second week on the chart.

 

Plus, two holiday classics return to the Hot 100's top 10: Mariah Carey's 1994 carol "All I Want for Christmas Is You" surges from No. 18 back to its No. 3 high, first reached last holiday season, and Brenda Lee's 1960 standard "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" hits a new peak, roaring 29-8.

 

Here's a deeper dive into The Weeknd's new Hot 100 No. 1. The song, released Nov. 27 on Republic Records, is the 1,094th leader in the chart's 61-year history.

 

Sales, streams & airplay: "Heartless" bounds 15-1 on Digital Song Sales with 58,000 sold in the week ending Dec. 5, according to Nielsen Music (a sum comprising download sales, as well as CD and vinyl singles available on The Weeknd's official website). The track sold 10,000 on Nov. 27-28.

 

"Heartless" flies 32-2 on Streaming Songs with 30 million U.S. streams in the week ending Dec. 5, aided by the Dec. 3 premiere of its official video. The song drew 13.8 million streams on Nov. 27-28.

 

The track also charges 45-38 on Radio Songs, with 26.2 million in all-format airplay audience, after beginning with 22.6 million on Nov. 27-Dec. 1.

 

The Weeknd's fourth No. 1: The Weeknd adds his fourth Hot 100 No. 1. He earned his first two leaders in August and October 2015, respectively: "Can't Feel My Face," which reigned for three weeks, and "The Hills," for six. In January 2017, he led for a week with "Starboy," featuring Daft Punk.

 

"Heartless" is also The Weeknd's ninth Hot 100 top 10 and first since "Call Out My Name," which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in April 2018.

 

Writers & producers: The Weeknd wrote "Heartless" with Leland "Metro Boomin" Tyler Wayne, Carlo "Illangelo" Montagnese and Andre "Dre Moon" Eric Proctor.

 

The Weeknd has co-written all four of his Hot 100 No. 1s. Metro Boomin earns his second No. 1 as a writer, following Migos' "Bad and Boujee," featuring Lil Uzi Vert, in 2017; Illangelo tallies his second topper as a writer, following "The Hills"; and Dre Moon shines with his first No. 1 as a writer.

 

The Weeknd, Illangelo and Metro Boomin co-produced "Heartless," marking each of their second No. 1s in that role, after "The Hills" for the former two and "Bad and Boujee" for Metro Boomin.

 

Coldest stories ever told: The Weeknd brings the title "Heartless" to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the first time, surpassing the No. 2 peak for Kanye West's different composition of the same name in 2009. (Subsequently that year, covers of West's hit, by Kris Allen and The Fray, reached Nos. 16 and 79, respectively.)

 

Quirkily, Heart charted the first "Heartless," a No. 24 hit for the rock band in 1978.

 

'Blinding Lights' bows: The Weeknd concurrently debuts at No. 11 on the Hot 100 with fellow new song "Blinding Lights." Released Nov. 29, the song starts at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (24,000) and No. 6 on Streaming Songs (24.8 million).

 

Both "Heartless" and "Blinding Lights" are expected to be on The Weeknd's upcoming album; of the two, "Heartless" is receiving official radio promotion.

 

No. 1 R&B/hip-hop: "Heartless" also climbs 14-1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 3-1 on Hot R&B Songs (both of which employ the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100). The Weeknd notches his fifth No. 1 on the former chart and his sixth on the latter.

 

"Heartless" dethrones Post Malone's "Circles" atop the Hot 100, after the latter led the list for two weeks. "Circles" ranks at No. 2 on Radio Songs (92.2 million, up 1%), No. 4 Digital Song Sales (13,000, down 36%) and No. 8 on Streaming Songs (22.2 million down 10%).

 

Mariah Carey dashes 18-3 on the Hot 100 with "All I Want for Christmas Is You," returning to its peak to-date first reached last holiday season (on the chart dated Jan. 5, 2019), when it became the first top-five holiday hit on the survey in 60 years. It's the highest-charting holiday song by a soloist in the Hot 100's archives, bested overall in the category only by The Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" (with David Seville), which ruled for four weeks in 1958-59.

 

"Christmas" takes an 11-1 sleigh ride on Streaming Songs, up 48% to 35.1 million U.S. streams, as the song scores its second week atop the chart (and its second-best streaming week, after it led the Jan. 5 ranking with 51.9 million). It jumps 29-10 on Digital Song Sales (9,000, up 60%) and 38-32 on Radio Songs (31 million, up 18%).

 

"Christmas" tops the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 37th total week, of the 42 overall frames in the chart's history, dating to its 2011 inception.

 

Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved" drops 2-4 on the Hot 100, after the ballad logged three weeks at No. 1; Maroon 5's "Memories" slips to No. 5 from its No. 4 high; Lizzo's "Good as Hell" slides to No. 6 from its No. 3 peak, as it rules Radio Songs for a third week (100.6 million, up 2%); and Arizona Zervas' "Roxanne" backtracks to No. 7 on the Hot 100 from its No. 5 highpoint, while leading Hot Rap Songs for a second frame.

 

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" dances merrily from No. 29 to No. 8 on the Hot 100, marking a new high, after it hit a prior No. 9 best last holiday season, when it entered the top 10 for the first time, over 55 years after it first appeared on the chart.

 

The track rockets 23-4 on Streaming Songs (32.8 million, up 61%); re-enters Digital Song Sales at No. 33 (4,000, up 68%); and ascends 48-43 on Radio Songs (24.4 million, up 14%).

 

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Selena Gomez's "Lose You to Love Me" retreats 6-9, after becoming her first No. 1, and Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber's "10,000 Hours" falls 8-10, after debuting at its No. 4 peak, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a ninth week.

yes Andy Williams get that top 50 smash!

 

nice to see The Weeknd get another #1 single too but hopefully Mariah can overtake by next week.

Looks like The Weeknd will keep Mariah off no1 this year but it should be No2 a new peak for it.

 

Good to see Wham flying the flag for British Christmas pop!! The Americans love their older classic Xmas tracks!

The Weeknd has a very weak #1, I suspect he'll fall a few places next week.

 

Mariah's main competition will be Juice WRLD.

OUT 52 36 23 Marshmello & Kane Brown ‒ One Thing Right

 

I think it was a mistake last week as tracks that fall outside top 50 and are on the chart 20+ weeks are excluded. Or it was promoted somewhere but I doubt it

Simon Falk on Twitter currently predicting Mariah will be #1 next week although with a very narrow lead over Post Malone, 'Lucid Dreams' showing as only #6 but within a few points of #3 (the top 2 are a little further ahead). 'Lucid Dreams' would surely be heading for an easy #1 if it was only down to sales and streaming but of course airplay complicates things - still, it's only the early prediction at the moment. Also worth noting he was quite a bit out last week forecasting Posty to keep #1 quite comfortably. I really hope Juice can get the #1, Mariah will likely be #1 the week after either way.

They make exceptions to this rule sometimes (I'm guessing in this case it's because it would still have been comfortably top 50 if not for the Christmas songs invading, but I don't think they ever really explain why they make exceptions when they do).

they're also predicting a big fall for The Weekend, the biggest fall from #1 in 30 years

Not surprising that would happen at a time like this where the #1 is incredibly weak. This and 'HIGHEST IN THE ROOM' (and to a lesser extent 'Lose You To Love Me') really fluked their way to the top in a way that usually doesn't happen in the US. Hope it'll hold up a bit better beyond this week.

the last big drop from #1 was Phill Collins with Two Hearts in the 80s that fell 1-10

This might become a new regular occurrence as it becomes harder to see a cross-format smash time up to hold the top spot. Lil Nas X already prevented several fluke #1's, and notably "If I Can't Have You" dropped to #13 the week after it debuted at #2 behind "Old Town Road".

 

And of course Mariah would surely have a much bigger drop from #1 :P
