This week's top 10 is all Taylor Swift songs thanks to the release of "Midnights". This is one of many reasons why Billboard should either (a) revive the short-lived Pop 100 chart of the mid-2000s and limit it to singles and focus tracks, or (b0 Make the Hot 100 a single/focus-track-only chart to ensure more artist diversity. It should be called the Drake 100, Swift 100, Lil Baby (whoever that is--probably some shallow rapper) 100. On the England charts, a change was made 2 or 3 years ago so that no artist (like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran) could have more than 3 cuts on the Top 100 singles chart that are from the same album. Taylor Swift holds positions 1, 3, and 4 this week but that is it. There are certainly drawbacks to the way England does it now, but it is something to think about. |

The November 12th Hot 100 is now available and Taylor Swift has set a bunch of new records:
She is the first artist to have 6 songs fall out of the Top 10 in the same week.
Of the 26 songs she had on last week's chart, 25 of them dropped from last week's rank on this week's chart. Many of them dropped over 30 positions. Some of them fell out of the Hot 100.
Last week was the first time all 10 songs in the Top 10 fell out of the Top 10.
5 songs that had previously been in the Top 10 and then fallen out re-entered the Top 10 this week.

And it's getting to that time of year when an annual wave of Christmas/holiday songs--many of them decades old--fill up the chart. The queen of that hill is probably Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You", which reached #1 on the Hot 100 the last three Decembers. (Ironically it did not make the Hot 100 when first released in 1994, probably due to lack of a commercial single.) |

That is precisely why Mariah's song didn't chart 28 years ago: Billboard had that ironclad rule, which was the exact opposite extreme from the current laughable situation. There should be some sort of middle ground. As for the Christmas songs, I'd rather have them chart that the crappy January-November stuff (except for Elton, Kate Bush, and a few contemporary acts such as Adele and Brune Mars and a few country crossovers). |

"All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey has now been #1 on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks over a 4 year period as of December 31st, 2022. It still has a chance to top the Hot 100 again on the chart dated 01/07/2023 (which will include data from 12/23 through 12/29). It is the 28th song to have topped the Hot 100 for 11 weeks or more. In another 3 or 4 years it may surpass the 19 weeks on top of the Hot 100 by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus.

My brother noted that many people over the years have looked up what song was #1 on the day they were born, and that going forward people born in December-January of many different years will be able to claim it was All I Want For Christmas Is You. And none of those people's ages will actually match the age of the song itself. |

And none of those people's ages will actually match the age of the song itself. I may be in the minority on this, but that is a huge reason why I cannot use the Hot 100 for purposes such as that. Any babies born to friends and relatives of mine in recent years, I just can't use the Hot 100 to associate the #1 song the day or week they were born. Nothing against Mariah and her mega-Christmas hit, which I really love, but the only year I could ever associate with that song, is 1994. |

39 (hoping I counted correctly) debuts on the 1-14-23 chart. Is this a record? Some major drops as the Christmas songs dropped out.

Apologies for being late on this, but on the 1-14-23 chart, not one song dropped within the Hot 100. Every song moved up or debuted. Don't know if this ever happened before.

"Like Crazy" by Jimn dropped from #1 to #45--is this a record for the sharpest drop from #1? What makes this even more impressive (not in a good way) is that it debuted on the Hot 100 at #1 the previous week!

Maybe not a record, but Taylor Swift had 22 debuts on the 7-22-23 Hot 100 chart. Be interesting to see how many move up or down on next week's chart.

For the first time, the top 3 songs on the Hot 100 (for the week ending August 5) are all country songs:
#1 Try That In a Small Town - Jason Aldean
#2 Last Night - Morgan Wallen
#3 Fast Car - Luke Combs
