Note: There is some confusion regarding "Santa Baby" on this chart. According to the Billboard.biz archives, the track supposedly spent 3 non-consecutive weeks on this chart. The first 2 weeks are unknown as they mysteriously do not appear in Billboard's archives.
Contributor Maurice Gravelle has a possible theory on the "Santa Baby" Holiday confusion:

Note: "Santa Baby"'s run on this chart is not quite clear due to conflicting reports. Online Billboard.biz archives show a December 24, 2011 debut date and a peak position of #24 with a total of 3 weeks on the chart prior to its re-entry on December 26, 2015. However, a separate source claims that there was only a 1-week chart entry for "Santa Baby" on this chart prior to December 26, 2015 which was at #49 on 12/26/2011.
* These are 2 different charts
Just a note: The newer Holiday Songs chart- which debuted in 2011- is a Hot-100-like chart for holiday tracks (based on airplay, sales and streaming).
ReplyDeletethanks for that clarification! is that the "HOT Holiday Songs" chart?
ReplyDeleteJust a note- on the chart titled Hot Holiday SOngs,it shows SB's peak as No. 24 (the No. 49 re-entry was its third week on that chart).
ReplyDeleteThe newer chart apparently is titled just "Holiday Songs." I know, confusing. hehe The Hot Holiday Songs, I believe, is based only on airplay at AC radio.
Actually, if you try looking for each week's results for the Hot Holiday Songs chart, it only brings up the one week for 2011. It's a bit of a hot mess with these multiple holiday charts in the archives.
DeleteYeah this is a bit confusing. Do you happen to know the other 2 weeks for Santa Baby on Hot Holiday Songs?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up by the way, I went ahead and fixed it.
ReplyDeleteThe 50-position Hot Holiday Songs chart that debuted in 2011 would be one of note, IMO. It logged two weeks on the chart, hitting No. 44 (late 2011). I'm still not sure what the other one's about, or if it combined weeks for something else, etc.
ReplyDelete"Santa Baby" re-entered the Holiday 100 for one week this past holiday season, at No. 79.
