As previously reported, Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" rules the Billboard Hot 100 (dated December 1) for a third week. Plus, Halsey's "Without Me" reaches No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, while holding at No. 4 on the Hot 100, and Panic! at the Disco's "High Hopes" ascends to the top of Radio Songs, while marking a new personal best for the Brendon Urie-led act on the Hot 100, where it lifts 8-6. Who else makes notable Hot 100 chart moves?
"All I Want for Christmas Is You", Mariah Carey
Carey's 1994 classic makes its yearly dash back to the Hot 100, re-entering at No. 29. It returns at No. 23 on Digital Song Sales (8,000 sold, up 49 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and No. 30 on Streaming Songs (14.4 million U.S. streams, also up 49 percent), while nearing Radio Songs (23.1 million in all-format airplay audience, up 138 percent, as radio stations, most notably in adult formats, segue to Christmas songs during the holiday season).
First released on Carey's 1994 album Merry Christmas, the carol hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time last year, reaching No. 9 (and becoming Carey's 28th top 10). Per Hot 100 rules, older songs are eligible to appear on the chart if showing gains in multiple metrics and ranking in the top 50.
Carey concurrently debuts at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums and No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with her new album, Caution (51,000 equivalent album units). Merry Christmas surges from No. 102 to No. 50 on the Billboard 200 (15,000, up 77 percent); it hit No. 3 on the chart in 1994.
