Yeah was gonna say if they reset by same logic as thriller we should be getting at least 10 resets from that update (probably drop as the week goes on though)

Why is Blinding Lights considered a Halloween song now?! Will be interesting to see what the OCC resets (hopefully Spooky Scary Skeletons gets a reset) and if Thriller gets a new peak!

Always saddens me that the biggest song of the first half of the 2020s has been relegated to "Halloween song" status.

No idea how many of these the OCC are going to reset, but with 'Thriller' it feels like a precedent has been set! Think it would need a decent lead at #1 in First Look to hold up well enough for Top 10.

Halloween is on a Saturday next year, so we could see even bigger streams next year.

Yeah maneater, unholy and RITH(ADWG) all fall under the umbrella very loosely

I actually feel like “Thriller” is going to be easily Top 10 now. Only needs to double its 11.7k chart sales from last week and should be way over 10k just from Friday. Will presumably hold up decently through the weekend too.

You would think if 'Thriller' was granted a reset there's no reason they wouldn't do the same for the rest of the Halloween songs, or at least the ones that would be making the top 50 or so since that seems to be around the cutoff that prompts the OCC to notice a reset is due. I wonder if they have just quietly completely dropped the rule about not charting within the last 3 years as it now looks like they're consistently ignoring it. Would love to see 'Spooky, Scary Skeletons' making the top 40, iconic to see it cracking the top 10 on Spotify for the first time today though either way, plus 'Psycho Killer' making the top 40 for the first time *.* and a nice new peak for 'Dracula' there too, curious to see if it'll come back to the chart for Halloween next year.

Also excellent to see a big NMF boost for ROSALÍA even amongst the Halloween songs, really exciting to see this song actually sticking around so far but I will continue to be skeptical that it'll last much longer. I was burnt once before with the hope that she'd get a top 40 hit as lead artist when 'TKN' painfully stalled at #41 x It's fallen 1 place to #13 on global Spotify today but that is with 6 Halloween songs jumping ahead of it!

I would assume it has a lot higher of a baseline streaming level outside of Halloween than all of the other Halloween songs as well so not like it'll be trailing away to negligible numbers even after the weekend!

Ooh <3 here for the Halloween-fuelled new peak for The Cramps too

Love to see the NMF boost indeed coming through for ROSALÍA *.*

I would’ve been so pissed off if I were the Cramps.

Their song being the one that actually soundtracked the iconic dance scene in Wednesday but a fan made TikTok edit to a Lady Gaga song is the one that gets the chart boast and annual Halloween boast now because that’s the one everyone thinks was in the scene.

Seeing the first glimpses of Christmas on the Amazon chart. Wham at #194 with Mariah at #199. *_*

Also Lily rising on Apple again with Halloween songs dropping:

#8. "Pussy Palace"

#12. "West End Girl"

#15. "Madeline"

"West End Girl" stands a good chance of entering the top 10 with 2 halloween songs above it still to fall!

Edit: Lily finally appearing on Amazon now too - #408. "West End Girl", #589. "Pussy Palace" & #925. "Madeline". I expect they will shoot up during the weekdays once Halloween/Christmas songs fall.

And just a bonus: #687. Leona Lewis - "One More Sleep"

'Goo Goo Muck' is charting as well! (at #115, but still x)

Nooooo, refreeze Mariah quickly please!

What's the point in resetting a Halloween song? It's just gonna fall dramatically.

No sign of Christmas song yet

Think it’s just because Apple hasn’t updated in a while. They’ll definitely be in the next update.

Blame covid it started the trend 😅

So all the issues that make the Christmas charts unbearably boring every year, the OCC want more weeks like that every year around Halloween?
