hausofmike 127 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Mariah redefines longitivity. All I want For Christmas peaks at #11, highest position since it was RELEASED 21 YEARS AGO The gifts keep on coming for Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The 1994 carol reaches another new peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Jan. 9, 2016), surging from No. 18 to No. 11, its best rank ever on the chart. (When the song rose 22-18 in the previous week, it passed its prior No. 21 peak on the Hot 100, set in 2013.) "Christmas" also remains atop the Holiday 100chart. It leads Holiday Digital Songs (41,000 downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 24, up 33 percent, according to Nielsen Music); Holiday Airplay (40 million in all-format audience, up 12 percent); and Holiday Streaming Songs (11.3 million U.S. streams, up 37 percent). Those sums also place the track at Nos. 25, 21 and 8, respectively, on the overall Digital Songs, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs charts. (With the song's 14-8 advance on Streaming Songs, Carey claims her first top 10 on the chart.) "Christmas" additionally wins the top Streaming Gainer award on the Hot 100. All charts, including the Hot 100, will refresh tomorrow (Dec. 29) on Billboard.com. As noted last week, the details of how "Christmas" reaches a new high on the Hot 100 more than 21 years after its release: The song was first released as a promotional single to radio, but not as a commercially-available single, in 1994. It ushered in Carey's first seasonal album, Merry Christmas. The song's lack of original retail availability is key, as, per rules at the time, only tracks available as singles in stores could chart on the Hot 100. (This was the pre-digital era, when the only way to purchase individual songs was via physical singles, i.e., on CD, cassette or vinyl.) "Christmas" hit No. 6 on Adult Contemporary, No. 9 on Pop Songs and No. 12 on the all-genre Radio Songs tally (with all three charts based solely on airplay) in the winter of 1994-95, but was not eligible for the Hot 100. By December 1998, non-commercially-available titles were allowed to appear on the Hot 100, and "Christmas" first hit the chart dated Jan. 8, 2000, spending a week at No. 83. By 2012, rules were amended so that older songs were allowed to chart on the Hot 100 if ranking in the top 50 and showing noteworthy continued gains. On Dec. 22, 2012, "Christmas" re-entered at No. 29; it rose to No. 21 two weeks later. It since hit highs of No. 26 (in winter 2013-14) and No. 35 (2014-15) before its new best rank this week. As for any potential further Hot 100 highs for "Christmas," they'll surely have to wait at least another year, as this week's chart covers the last full frame of data measurement leading up to Christmas Day. The song will likely depart the chart after this week and, like Santa, return next holiday season. "Christmas" has sold 3.1 million downloads (since Nielsen Music began scanning digital sales in 2003), ruling as the best-selling holiday download to date, while the Merry Christmas album has sold 5.5 million copies.

Harry 26,836 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's never gone top ten before!? Well I suppose it only has a short window in which to chart so I suppose it never really got the chance to grow like songs typically do on the Hot 100. Now with the new(ish) re-entry rule and streaming getting stronger and stronger, I feel like it could go top ten at some point in the future! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah 26,994 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Her Christmas Movie will be aired all around the World next Year and she'll most likely will record a new Christmas Album or a new Version of Merry Christmas - meaning AIWFCIY will gain again next Year.

The best original Christmas song to come out in the last 30 years. I have a feeling it will make its debut into the top 10 in the next year or two. The Christmas station 93.9 played that song like crazy this past Christmas season. Such a classic by Queen Mimi!! I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.
