Did I dream or did AIWFCIY fail to go #1 last year and Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree did instead?

[PartySick 153,366]

Did Bruno and Gaga get their #1 before the Xmas mess or what?

Oh oop

Well, Bad Romance peaked at #2 too. No shame! Not everybody has a #2 song

Not sure who I'm shading but just imagine it's the artist you dislike the most

there was a huge push and rerelease of rockin around the tree including as i recall an AI spanish version of the song 

 

honestly i wouldn't mind if billboard introduced a rule saying songs released over x years ago can't chart

I remember there being a big campaign, both fan-side and officially, to bring that song to #1  Not sure why, I'd say there are better Christmas songs (including AIWFCIY) but sure!

I had never heard that song, I just listened to it, I think it sounds just as good as AIWFCIY. It’s cute. I still think all Christmas songs sound kinda pathetic though

they have recurrent rules:
- song that has spent over 20 weeks on the Hot 100 has to chart in the top 50
- song that has spent over 52 weeks on the Hot 100 has to chart in the top 25 
otherwise they are not included in the Hot 100

The biggest irony this week would be if DWAS were to finally overtake The Bar Song, but they're at #8 and #9

They already have a rule that makes it impossible for old songs to chart unless they have enough points for top 50 I think. Imo a chart that's meant to represent the most popular songs of that week should represent that christmas music is objectively what's being played the most this month. So... good for Mariah I guess
