Renan90 Posted Sunday at 07:58 PM Posted Sunday at 07:58 PM (edited) Stray Kids Score Sixth No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 'HOP' Plus: Mariah Carey's 'Merry Christmas' returns to the top 10. Stray Kids score their sixth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as HOP debuts atop the list dated Dec. 28. It's the sixth leader for the group, making the pop ensemble the first act to debut at No. 1 with its first six chart entries in the nearly 69-year history of the chart. The Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956. Stray Kids previously opened atop the chart with ODDINARY and MAXIDENT (both in 2022), ROCK-STAR and 5-STAR (both in 2023) and ATE (earlier in 2024). Further, with a sixth No. 1, Stray Kids tie BTS, Linkin Park and Dave Matthews Band for the most No. 1s among groups on the Billboard 200 in this century (since 2000). HOP arrives with 187,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 19, according to Luminate, largely driven by traditional album sales. Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas jingles back to the top 10 for a seventh consecutive holiday season, as the 1994 release climbs 14-10. The set, which contains the Billboard Hot 100-topping "All I Want for Christmas Is You," peaked at No. 3 in 1994. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 28, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Tuesday, Dec. 24.

Plus, Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson carols hit the top 10 for the first time. Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a 17th total week. The song solely gives Carey her longest career command on the chart, surpassing the 16-week No. 1 run of her "One Sweet Day," with Boyz II Men, in 1995-96. The carol, which leads the Hot 100 for a third consecutive week this holiday season, also solely claims the third-longest domination in the chart's 66-year history, after only the 19-week rules of Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" this year and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019. Three other songs, including "One Sweet Day," have led for 16 weeks each. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" additionally leads the Streaming Songs chart for a record-breaking 21st total week, besting "Old Town Road" for the longest No. 1 stay dating to the survey's 2013 start. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was originally released on Carey's album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming has grown and holiday music has become more prominent on streaming services' playlists, it hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time in December 2017, and the top five for the first time in the 2018 holiday season. It led at last, prior to the past three weeks, over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four) and 2023 (two). "All I Want for Christmas Is You" became Carey's 19th Hot 100 No. 1, the most among soloists and one away from The Beatles' overall record 20. It also made Carey the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades (1990s, 2000s, '10s and '20s). Meanwhile, two fellow original holiday hits, released in the 2010s, hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time: Ariana Grande "Santa Tell Me," from 2014 (14-9), and Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree," from 2013 (15-10). Both songs previously peaked at No. 11 last holiday season. Notably, "Santa Tell Me" becomes the most-recently-released holiday song to have reached the Hot 100's top 10, while "Underneath the Tree" is the second-newest. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Dec. 28, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Dec. 24).

It makes me wonder if Japan had been more open with copyright and truly focused on promoting their music internationally like Korea did with K-pop, would J-pop have taken the same global route? Like Japan already has Anime which is way bigger than Kpop (Pokemon alone clears), but imagine if they actually spread J-Pop globally as well? Edited Sunday at 11:27 PM by Pluto6 2

Like Japan already has Anime which is way bigger than Kpop (Pokemon alone clears), but imagine if they actually spread J-Pop globally as well? K-pop has always been more paletable internationally than J-pop on It's purest form, because since the beginning It also had bigger western influence on It combined with J-pop influence. And as K-pop agencies became more interested to promote globally, more evident the western influence was. To be honest, Japanese artists don't even make an effort to promote globally and expanding, because they simply don't need to, their entertainment industry is massive. Japan is the second biggest music market by revenue in the world. Edited Sunday at 11:30 PM by Mitsuki 1
