Lady Polonia 3,024 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 Some time ago Billboard introduced new rules regarding songs on Hot 100: The updated "recurrent rule" states a song will be removed if it drops below specific rankings after a certain number of weeks: - below No. 5 after 78 weeks - below No. 10 after 52 weeks - below No. 25 after 26 weeks - below No. 50 after 20 weeks. This change was made to address the stagnation caused by long-running streaming hits Die With A Smile was automatically removed from Hot 100 after this rule came into effect as it was below no. 10 back then (it was its 60th week I guess). So, how the hell it was possible for that damn All I Want For Christmas Is You to be on Hot 100 last week, when it was no. 11 in its 73rd week? How Hot 100 works if it allows some songs to skip their own rules? vanish into you 🥀🖤 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALGAYDO 33,835 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 Consecutive weeks for DWAS, AIWFC dropped out and then came back 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 75,652 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 some stupid sh*t about increasing in points, AIWFCIY is going up in radio, sales, and streams, so it can chart. When it goes down, it will completely come off the chart I think. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco 15,490 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 AIWFCIY is a re-entry gaining seasonal momentum. DWAS wasn't a re-entry and was losing momentum. The rules are a bit clunky but the intention is to stop streaming leading to never ending chart space hoggers and creating space for newer tracks to have a chance.

gerrygaga 5,121 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 Christmas songs basically got a special exception from what I understand in Billboard's announcement. Which is crazy. Thankfully, Billboard Global 200, the bigger chart, does not have weird rules (at-least not yet), i am predicting Die With A Smile will not leave this chart for the next 2 years or maybe longer. Abracadabra was able to re-enter this week on Global 200 too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 28,710 Posted November 26, 2025 Share Posted November 26, 2025 The Hot 100 is an absolutely mess since a few years. I don't think it shows what song is TRULY a hit or not, and a lot of #1s over the last few years were not hits at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl pay attention to peaks more than commulative gains for some reason Peaks have only ever measured a songs highest position for a single week. It tells you nothing about long term success Edited November 26, 2025 by Economy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
