Radio sis-

well, ac has tons of recurrent songs getting a lot of spins that aren't eligible to chart.

[nadiamendell]

Already??? 

[Sergi91]

Seems fishy but congrats

They paid dust to Believe, Song for the Lonely but said yes to this...

Huh?! Believe peaked at #3 on AC & Song For The Lonely peaked at #11.  The AC format was much more different back then than it is now,  dance songs peaking that high then was more of an achievement.

Radio sis-

AC Radio are essentially oldies/christmas music stations from Halloween to new years. That’s why audience impressions are so slow because they spend the majority of the time spinning Xmas songs, and whatever new song is released that year goes #1 annually

2001 - NewSong, “The Christmas Shoes”

2004 - Josh Groban, “Believe (from Polar Express)”

2005 - Kimberley Locke, “Up on the House Top”

2006 - Kimberley Locke, “Jingle Bells”

2007 - Kimberley Locke, “Frosty the Snowman” and Josh Groban, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”

2008 - Faith Hill, “A Baby Changes Everything”

2009 - N/A (You Belong with Me was #1 all December)

2010 - Mariah Carey, “Oh Santa”

2011 - Michael Buble, “All I Want for Christmas Is You”

2012 - Rod Stewart, “Let It Snow”

2013 - Kelly Clarkson, “Underneath the Tree”

2014 - Idina Menzel and Michael Buble, “Baby It’s Cold Outside
