I thought in that interview they said that MSG had sold out? I’ve just checked ticket master and it’s far from it on both nights… that kind of thing could stop people seeking out tickets

Toronto looks bleak as well… am I missing something? There’s so many tickets left…

After this week she can only chart above top25 due billboard rules of songs with 52 weeks

The Queen of Christmas sets a new Official Chart record - Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You enters the Official Singles Chart Top 40 earlier than ever

It's the most wonderful time of year...to be Mariah Carey.

The Queen of Christmas is here…and we can finally get the festive season started.

The Official Charts Company can confirm that Mariah Carey returns to the Official Singles Chart Top 40 earlier than ever this week with her classic hit All I Want For Christmas Is You.

As the track jumps 20 places to Number 36, it’s the earliest appearance for the song in the Top 40 ever, coming in on the 46th week of 2022 (chart published Friday 18 November). Previously, Mariah had re-entered during the 47th week in the years 2021 (26 Nov), 2020 (20 Nov) and 2017 (24 Nov).

I thought that 52 weeks top 25 rule only applies to descending songs and not to re entries or songs with resurgence of points.

After this week she can only chart above top25 due billboard rules of songs with 52 weeks

Recurrence rules

• If a song has charted for 20 weeks and charts below #50 any week after the 20th week, it will be deemed recurrent and will leave the chart. This is known as the 50/20 rule.
• If a song has charted for 52 weeks and charts below #25 any week after the 52nd week, it will be deemed recurrent and will leave the chart. This is known as the 25/52 rule.
• Should a recurrent song 1) gain a significant amount of points with an identifiable reason behind said gain and/or 2) have enough points to chart at #50 or anywhere higher, it will re-enter the chart.
• However, these rules are not always totally followed by Billboard. Their chart team occasionally decides on a case-by-case basis on whether some recurrent songs that don’t reach the #50 requirement may be allowed to re-enter. There are many cases where they may forego this rule; this includes an artist’s death, newfound public interest, or if the song itself is a slow burner.
• Two scenarios that a song can escape recurrency despite fulfilling the positional requirements (courtesy of u/RimeTM):
  • be gaining in overall points
    • This condition can be satisfied without the corresponding bullet in the event of an album bomb or minor gains.
  • be gaining on radio

AIW is already recurrent song. That’s why it can only RE above top50, and now the rule of 52 weeks will apply after next week and can only chart above top25. Next year we’ll only see AIW when it has enough points to reentry the top25

Probably the best LTT post 90's. Queen was serving tone and she's feeling the song.

[Marchum]

Ugh I need her back in Vegas.

Great news. The song just keeps doing better

[skylynx]

Question:
Mariah has several compilations (Greatest Hits, ballads, #1s, infinity, essential....).
How much did this hurt the sales of #1s and greatest hits?

Well there was a good 4-5 years between #1s and Greatest Hits so it wouldn'tve made much difference as #1s sales would be down to a trickle anyway.

Though now in today's streaming age, I do wonder how they apportion the streams towards each of these compilations? There's a rule i'm sure but i can't remember what it is...

Miss you babe

Thankyou dahlings!!

I mean this as kindly as possible, but do you know how to search for tickets on Ticketmaster? If you remove the resale tickets (Platinum and Verified Resale), you will immediately see that night one at MSG is essentially sold out in full, and night two isn't far behind. Resale tickets are tickets that have already been purchased so Mariah and the venue got their money, it's up to other people if they want to pay more for already purchased tickets.

The same applies for the Dec 11th Toronto show, though admittedly, there are more tickets to move between those two shows than anything with the New York shows. Hope this made sense!

I am so mad at her for paying dust to this gem for two decades

No recurrent performances or anything when this could be another #standard

She absolutely still slays it (and another song from that album we won’t mention out of courtesy to Queen)

I hadn’t actually listened to Kenny G’s Christmas album until today but I’d love for him to join her for one song one day her voice and a sax would be

Kenny G was pretty huge in the early/mid-90s. His sound was very soothing and a testament to the 90s that genres like this can smash big and be impactful.

I quite like his Christmas albums, though surprised that it sold as much as it did. It's great that Mariah MC album has extended its lead over Celine (there was a time in the mid-2000s when I thought Celine would be catching up).

Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas is You” debuts on HitsDailyDouble’s Overall Streaming Chart @ #24 with 10,561,894 streams this week!

https://m.hitsdailydouble.com/streaming_songs

[skylynx]

It's at #44 Global with 2,001,254 streams.

Last year it was not able to surpass 2m until Thanksgiving Eve 24th November. It's running about 1 week stronger than last year.

[skylynx]

Brenda is on her toes in the US and Wham is also not far off in Europe. Seems like every year these other songs are catching up fast and will surpass her sooner.

Aw

[skylynx]

I love this season cause Mariah is finally charting again.....

[skylynx]

Ze Germans and Brits are coming....
