Mariah Carey :: The "Christmas" Eras

[MrDash]

Unfortunately, FILAC has been removed today from Spotify's "It's a Hit" playlist (2.2M followers) after 29 days playlisted.
So its daily streams could decrease from tomorrow's update onwards.

Right now its biggest Spotify editorial playlist is New Music Holiday (just 160k followers) where it's 32/130.

Based on Stevvy’s update, FILAC actually gained more streams today, even after the removal?

But those numbers are from yesterday.
Let's see what happens tomorrow!

yep, we will see the impact of the removal tomorrow (on today's update).

Before some will get a long face, all xmas songs will lose 20% of their streams tomorrow (minimum). Weekends are always the best days for xmas songs.

Adele Holds Atop Hot 100, Mariah Carey Leads Sleigh Ride of Holiday Hits Back to Top 10

"Easy on Me" reigns for a sixth week, while "All I Want for Christmas Is You" surges 12-3.

Plus, four holiday chestnuts jingle back to the Hot 100’s top 10: Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” up from No. 12 to No. 3; Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (14-4); Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (20-5); and Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” (27-7).

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” soars 12-3 on the Hot 100, with 25.8 million U.S. streams (up 47%), 23.4 million airplay audience impressions (up 54%) and 5,800 sold (up 53%) in the tracking week. It bounds 5-1 on Streaming Songs for an 11th total week on top (and is the only holiday song to have led, dating to the survey’s January 2013 inception); 23-8 on Digital Song Sales; and 47-31 on Radio Songs. It also crowns the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 47th week, of the chart’s 52 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the tally for 32 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season, and rules as the top title on the recently-revealed Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.

“Christmas” past, “Christmas” present: Notably, the latest figures for Carey’s anthem are similar to those from the same week a year ago. In the Nov. 27-Dec. 3, 2020, post-Thanksgiving tracking frame, the song drew 26.4 million streams, 24.5 million in radio reach and sold 6,800, as it dashed 14-2 on the Hot 100.

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 carol hit the top 10 for the first time in December 2017. In December 2019, it ascended to the summit, 25 years after its original release, becoming the second holiday hit ever to reign; “The Chipmunk Song,” by David Seville & the Chipmunks, spent four weeks at No. 1 beginning in December 1958.

With the ascent, Carey claimed her 19th Hot 100 No. 1, as she extended her mark for the most among soloists and moved 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 added two more weeks on top in December 2020 and this January, passing “The Chipmunk Song” for the top cumulative command (five weeks) for a holiday song.

THANKS for the stats. But I guess showing the number of streams gained on those days instead of the position will be a better way of comparison? Based on the positions alone, it looks like last year’s performance was better than this year’s for AIW.With streaming numbers, we would know for certain if the difference is substantially higher/lower or unchanged between these two years. Just my thoughts ...

Hey MrDash. Actually Stevyy used to track the streaming numbers, so I started tracking the positions for a different comparison.

Stevyy has since stopped presenting the streaming numbers like he used to, but I kept with the position numbers as they give relative indications of how the songs are performing against others irrespective of numbers (as streams can fluctuate year to year but positions are always relative).

[stevyy]

The streams of her top 20 biggest xmas songs can all be found in the charts thread. I thought I don't spam them here... but there. <3

[LostAvenger]

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” dashes 17-2 on the Global 200, with 61.2 million streams (up 66%) and 10,900 sold (up 74%) globally. The 1994 modern holiday standard topped the chart for four weeks last holiday season.

Plus, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leaps 27-7 on the Global Excl. U.S. list (37 million streams, up 83%; 5,000 sold, up 110%) and Wham!’s “Last Christmas” soars 45-10 (29.8 million streams, up 98%; 3,000 sold, up 112%). The former led for a week and the latter hit No. 2 last holiday season.

Wow, what a week! Smashing like this already

Yes indeed

I meant you used to compare streams for each song, for each day from the previous year.
Understandable given how much you track that you stopped doing that.

It's kinda tiring sometimes tracking all this success

But I found now that AIW has really settled into a groove and is almost guaranteed to hit the top 2, it's become less necessary to track as its performance thankfully has been consistent.

[Tomer_MC]

it did 5,1 million globally on Saturday... that alone must be some sort of record for early December... it was HUGE. It usually gets around 4,5 million in December leading up to Xmas. I was shocked typing that number yesterday.

Didn't know that... amazing!!!

[Tomer_MC]

Wait.... I see AIW ranking #1 on streaming in the US this week. does it have a shot going #1 on the HOT100??

Edit: Nevermind, Just read the past 6 pages on the general thread and got my answer

[GlenMarley]

Does anyone remember whats AIWFCIYs peak on Radio Songs? For the first time in a while, Christmas week will 90% match a full airplay tracking week.

Whatever song wants to compete with AIWFCIY this year will have to endure all its best airplay as well, not just streaming.

[Askforsnow]

Radio peak is #12, I think.

[MeltAway]

10 top 10's and 2 #1's for the first chart week of December. Not too shabby!
