Well Brenda was up to 6M on Spotify alone  

[Crank_It_Up]

How is this possible? No shade, genuinely curious. Mariah is above Brenda in all other metrics except for Spotify. Surely, the gap must be closer between them than what TTOC is assuming?

Radio has been carrying Mariah for the last two weeks. When Christmas is over radio drops xmas songs so she loses that advantage overnight basically. Plus she was selling physical singles at her concerts which boosted her the last 2 weeks.

Because radio fell hard for all the Christmas songs this week and the streams are the strongest metric for the current week (Brenda has been #1 on overall streaming songs the whole season so far)

Okay, I see. But Mariah is still charting and getting a much higher streaming from YouTube, Apple Music, and Amazon than Brenda is. Brenda is either charting lower or out of some of these charts. Mariah is also #6 on iTunes at the moment, while Brenda is #21.

I’ve noticed that Brenda has different versions of this song. At least in Spotify they are not counted as one song, maybe it’s also true for the other platforms? Idk she was almost 2 million streams above Mariah on Spotify, so the gap had to be closed elsewhere

Grandmother Brenda 

[X~MoviePoP]

Britneys song would be top 20 if theyd promote it properly

[Green]

Wait I just saw Santa Baby is reaching top 20 for the first time 

 

[QueenofCopyPaste]

So Brenda 3/5 weeks

Mariah 2/5 weeks

Is she coming for Mariah's record in 3 years?

Cruel Summer #2 without Christmas songs 

[PurrKaty]

The 2 queens of Christmas generously passing the torch back and forth  

 

It’ll be fun to see another Christmas song in the coming years compete with them

Looks like Brenda will launch 2024 at the top ! Extremely organic also seeing as she was by far the less playlisted song, by far the less radio supported song, had no physical singles on sale ( her physicals were for the album of the same name)  versus Mariah who had signed vinyl and CD available,  and 2 videos, versus Mariah's 5. Just organic demand and GP interest, whereas Mariahs two weeks were fuelled by stan activity and radio. 

 

Well done to both ladies ! 

[naval23]

Damn. Xmas week is always Brenda's week because of radio collapsing after Dec 25 is crazy to me 

[dawnettakins]

A TRUE Christmas classic we have to stan

A certain other girlie with a thread on this site is seething somewhere, a belated Christmas present. No touchdown for you.
