Brenda not getting a single week this year. Y'all got so brave.

Watch the anti-Mariah bandwagon jump to Last Christmas next year

Carey has benefitted from 30 anny 7", 12", cassette & CD physical single sales the last 2 chart weeks. She probably won't release those in 2025. So that'll even things a little. Not that I expect Lee to issue any, since if she were to do it it would've been 2023 & she didn't.

Brenda did have physicals.

She sold a full length CD online. But it was an album. I bought it thinking it was a single. EDIT: Her Rockin Around The Christmas Tree ALBUM/CD has 18 songs/tracks. She actually released it in 1999. So the fact she even named the album AFTER the song makes things more confusing. But 1999s RATCT is an 18-song album promoted in 2023, not a physical single.

Mariah on lock to get her record back next year  (unless something unexpected happens). 
 

Will Lose Control finally go recurrent?

It'll go SRC. If LC can RE into the T10 I know BB will allow it back. The ? is did BB change its rules about SRC songs RE 25-11. There were some indicators that mayve happened after last Christmas. Also Cher's DJ Play A Christmas Song is 142 on ITunes and unranked on the Apple Music & Spotify T200. She released a duet version with Kelly Clarkson for 2024 but an official music video, which never came out in 2023, including Clarkson would've probably given it a bigger boost now.

You're right. I apologize. I wonder why she didn't do those in 2023 to get wk 4 then. That would've made more sense. 

 

On this Christmas Eve 2024 I still wish Mariah could go to #1 with this Live: https://youtu.be/BEJmP8T07JU?si=Denuc3zz4GCd0N_l

I know. I asked "Why didn't she release it in 2023 to get week 4 [at #1]?" I'm aware she released this in 2024.

[Touchdown]

Interesting I haven't seen any Brenda stans this year? I wonder if they got tired of rockin' around the tree.

Doesn't look likely anymore with the big decline and gap with DWAS, unless Super Bowl gives a huge boost.

STM is predicted to be #8, I wonder if it can get a new peak, maybe #8 or #7?

I mean, we are more than grateful for #9 this week honestly and we shouldn't even ask for more, but #8 would also be a nice peak. This past holiday week was the most important and most consumed week of the year in music btw, so any song that made it and gained did very well! Mariah's 18th week.  

 

Also, it would be nice to see Kelly go to like #5 or #6, her song is truly amazing and festive. It screams holiday classic. But of course her song already achieved so much as well already and a #10 peak for it is pretty great nonetheless.

Interesting how nobody brought up the fact that STM is now Ari's 5th single from 2014 to go top 10

Not just that, believe it or not, we don't have a single song by either Taylor or Drake on the Hot 100.
