She deserves it though. A certified Christmas classic

She’s gonna get blocked

i'm shook that Brenda's has more streams on Spotify 

 

radio definitely needs to be underweighted on the Hot 100 - it's always been a problem 

Brenda has had the lead of Spotify basically this whole season, if not the entire season this year. I’ve noticed it’s ranked higher for weeks. Mariah has a lead on Apple Music and YouTube. I wonder if Christmas playlisting across the platforms causes Brenda/Mariah to get more streams on different platforms or if the GP that uses the different platforms prefer one over the other?

Meh, that annoying song by the Christmas fad will block it again 

Name another Brenda Lee song.

It's not happening. We been hearing this the last 3 years and never happens.

[Kamil24]

It would be a pretty cool record I think. Longest climb to #1? Oldest age at time of #1 (78) although the song was recorded when she was just 13.

Brenda’s not happening.

she is added to many big playlists, which Mariah don't have

A song released in 1958 going #1 in 2022 would be an even more remarkable feat than AIWFC

A Christmas fad with 18 #1 hits and 2 diamond selling albums that have nothing to do with Christmas

And the point gap gets narrower each year.

Mariah is still #1 on Itunes while Brenda has left the top 20. So... chances get smaller and smaller. 

[stevyy]

Mariah is currently #1 on YT, Brenda is at #8.

Doubtful that it goes to anyone other than Mariah. Her chokehold on Christmas radio impressions and Amazon's Alexa playlisting is too strong.

Hopefully brenda takes it home, shes deserves it most

Airplay numbers for Christmas are decreasing drastically after Dec 25th.
