charts discussion Final predictions (12/16): Brenda #1, 14pts lead over Mariah

[Extremely Stable]

Yeah Mariah will not go #1 this year

[Kyoto]

Not the Xmas lady losing to Miss Brenda

[MALAMENTE]

Happy for her. Tired of Mariah always going #1. It was cute the first three years

[PoisonPill]

I have no doubt Camp Mariah is concocting a plot to reclaim the momentum and prevent a shutout. I mean this song has become her entire career the past decade…

[Clauss]

We celebrating 

[feelslikeadream]

[BGood2Me]

Cmon STM! I don't want another #12 peak

[okgo]

ok but how do we replace that version of Jingle Bell Rock at #3 with Lindsay's 

give us a remix with Mariah since she's a Mean Girls stan too

Mariah being the "Xmas lady" and not Brenda when she has:

 

- 19 #1s

- Over 90 weeks at #1 (more than any other artist or band by a span of 30 weeks)

- More years containing #1s than any other act

- Billboard, RIAA, and Soundscan #1 female of all-time (albums)

- Three consecutive Diamond albums (Merry Christmas is eligible)

- 8 albums to sell over 10 million PURE

- Best-selling Western artist, male or female, in Asia

- Best selling non-Japanese act, male or female, in Japan (largest non-US music market)

- Two songs of the decade

- Songwriters Hall of Fame

- Unparalleled impact (hip-hop/pop meld, Queen of Remixes, complex melisma in pop/creating generations of singers, her songwriting)

 

Your fave had one big commercial era. Worry about that.

better than no career

[BnPac]

And all it took is a video on YTB and some promo. I hope Wham! and Bobby Helms (the old Xmas classic) could also sneak a week at the top some other years down the line. And Mariah can continue her domination. It's not like she's not going to go back to the throne anyway.

Happy for Brenda, at least if she will not go #1 in the next reporting BB Hot 100 she will the week after!

 

I would love Mariah to have some weeks but Brenda really deserves this!

[Flanders]

Good for Ms Lee!

How so? Brenda has been close for a couple of years. Is anyone surprised she got a couple of weeks?

 

Not to mention that AIWFCIY continues to demolish globally. 

 

Certain corners of atrl are so desperate to drag Mariah that it's laughable and quite pitiful, tbh.

For what it’s worth I’m not trying to drag Mariah, I love her sooo much and she’s my second favorite songwriter after Taylor. Sorry if my comment seemed otherwise 

I guess this Brenda thing is just a shock after how strong AIWFCIY has been every XMas season this decade  not that I’m saying that to discredit Mariah or boast about Brenda. Just expressing my personal surprise

[Gaia]

I think it’s AIWFCIY fatigue. I, personally, am so over it and do not listen to it on my own free will. I like the song, but it’s so damn overplayed on TikTok and stuff that it’s now annoying

All it took was Pandora placing Brenda #1 and #2 on the Xmas playlist with 72 million listeners and removing Mariah

 

 

 

And Spotify removing Mariah from a Christmas playlist with 1 million likes (for one tracking week), moving Brenda to #1 on Christmas Hits, as well as her exclusion from the Christmas Classics playlist.

 

 

Mariah led by a large margin on every other platform for that reason, which you already know as evidenced by your trolling in the other thread.

We cheer! Brenda got close so many times, finally "it's time" for her to be #1

Do ya’ll realize how you sound using an avi as a drag, as if a randomly chosen gif of a stranger is part of my personality.

Deserved!
