Billboard 100 (107,728) by Edward from USA
I didn't even know iTunes was still around or a relevant indicator on anything pertaining the charts.

The top 20 holiday songs on iTunes is very interesting today. Of course, MC is #1 and numerous new songs from some popular artists.

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,726) by Zachariah from Croatia
Well, let's be honest - Mariah was huge by the end of 20th century, so this is a valid list.

A song could reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, yet rank only number 10 on the Holiday Chart. This happens because each chart reflects different aspects of a song's performance and caters to specific audiences.

The Hot 100 reflects overall popularity across all genres, combining metrics like streaming, radio airplay, and sales from a broad audience.

In contrast, the Holiday 100 Chart focuses solely on the song's performance within the holiday genre. It factors in specialized radio airplay, genre-specific streaming, and sales data relevant to that category.

So, a song might dominate the mainstream charts due to widespread appeal, but its performance within a specific genre may be weaker in comparison resulting in a lower ranking on that genre specific chart.

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,724) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
She definitely has nothing to prove but it's a shame that Billboard didn't honor the artist that holds possibly the most records on their charts. Not having her in the top 20 is insane to me. She's literally made some of the people on that list become singers because they were inspired by her. You cannot spell MusiC without MC. Her rise then massive fall followed by the greatest comeback of all time alone should have cemented her on that list.

TJ's point still holds though. How is AIW higher on Hot 100 than Rockin' Around if the latter is number one the holiday charts? Maybe Hot 100 uses more or different measuring metrics than the holiday charts or the tracking dates might be different?

Reminds me of a similar question I have for the Grammys at times. Sometimes songs that have won song of the year or record of the year have not gone on to win in their respective pop/rock/country etc field. You're saying this was the best song all year across the board but it wasn't the best pop song?

You are right, Jamie. This video tells it all. I hope MC and Lee Daniel start filming The Meaning of Mariah Carey next year. It would be cool if her life story was told on film in 2025.

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,721) by Bobby A from United States
I saw the list and shook my head that MC wasn't on the list. MC has accomplished so much during her career. She doesn't need a magazine or award show to celebrate her already successful career. 2025 is going to be her 2005 all over again. I just know it.

Billboard 100 (107,720) by Edward from USA
These are clearly two distinct charts. The Holiday 100 focuses exclusively on Holiday music, while the Hot 100 considers music from all genres, making the competition significantly tougher. As you can see, only a few of the currently most popular holiday songs have made their way onto the Hot 100.

Billboards top artists for the 21st century (107,719) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Sad to see Mariah not on the list. Even though her major chunk of success was in the 90s, she's had huge moments in the 2000s and has cemented her legacy by continuing to be relevant and selling out tours almost 35 years into her. Her impact on the music industry is unparalleled.

So #2 on Billboard Christmas list, but a higher position than Rocking Around on Billboard Hot 100? How is that possible?

Billboard 100 (107,717) by Edward from USA
And somewhere on the Holiday 100, the top 10 looks like this:

1. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" – Brenda Lee
2. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" – Mariah Carey
3. "Jingle Bell Rock" – Bobby Helms
4. "A Holly Jolly Christmas" – Burl Ives
5. "Last Christmas" – Wham!
6. "Feliz Navidad" – José Feliciano
7. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" – Andy Williams
8. "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" – Dean Martin
9. "White Christmas" – Bing Crosby
10. "Santa Tell Me" – Ariana Grande

Since the Holiday 100 usually hints at how the Hot 100 is going to play out, Mariah better grab some glue and secure that weave because Brenda, rocking slow but steady from her chair, is going to try and snatch it.

The battle for the #1 spot for multiple weeks may be tough this year. Next week will determine how AIW will perform for the holiday season and the potential contender for the #1 spot.

Why did MC's label collapse and never had anymore new artists signed to the label? The label's existence was quietly closed without a word from MC or Columbia.

On December 6th, Cher will also release a new version of her Christmas album with a new remix of "Angels in the Snow". Maybe with Mariah?

Spotify has a pre save for December 6th. I don't want to get too excited but since this is on Spotify it can't be just a new cover. Fingers crossed for a bonus track at least.

The deluxe version of Merry Christmas is going to be perfect for the Christmas party that I am planning. People are buying it on Amazon as if it was released this year. Four hundred people purchased in the past month.
