Archive Update: The Santa Baby Confusion

A correction has been made to Santa Baby's run on the Hot Holiday Songs chart. Apparently, the track has spent 3 non-consecutive weeks on the chart, not 1 as previously stated. The first two weeks are currently unknown. If anyone has this info, please let me know!

Thanks to JohnnyT for pointing this out!

Update
Contributor Maurice Gravelle has a possible theory on the "Santa Baby" Holiday confusion:

[Billboard.biz] states Santa Baby charted for 3 weeks on Hot Holiday Songs and peaked at #24 ... previously, Santa Baby peaked at #24 for only 1 week on 2 charts: Hot 100 Singles Recurrent (2002) and Adult Contemporary Holiday Tracks (2003). So I'm wondering if both these entries were not combined into the Hot Holiday Songs chart??? and then it re-entered at #49, so that would make it 3 weeks total. It's hard to say.

It's certainly a possibility, and it kind of makes sense, especially since the track peaked at #24 on all  3 charts. Until we get confirmation, we'll just keep all the charts as separate.
