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.

The CD will include the album version plus a remix by Eddie Amador, who has previously remixed "Give It 2 Me". The cover was chosen by Madonna from a list of 10 contenders.

Chart News: Week Of 12/8/2012

As Madonna's MDNA Tour plays it's final dates in South America, it's looking more and more likely that all promo for MDNA is now completely over. No more singles, no club play promos...not even any news of that supposed Brazilian release for "Superstar". It's a little sad, but eventually all things come to an end (although I really think they could have milked one more Club Play #1 out of this album!). Now we can look forward to the tour DVD and Madonna's next album, which she supposedly has already started working on (Maybe she's just started thinking about it. Who knows!)

MDNA falls down to #16 this week on the Dance / Electronic Albums chart in its 35th week.
