Last Year's #1: All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey [3/5 weeks at #1]

Oh yeah, I guess it's still Christmastime. Oh boy. Anyways, this is the last week of these songs being here, so we won't have to deal with this for too long. The first song is This Christmas by Donny Hathaway and I actually quite like this song. I really like the jazz sound that this song has and Donny Hathaway sounds really good here.

Okay, so Bing Crosby has another song now, being Mele Kalikimaka with The Andrews Sisters. I find a lot of Bing Crosby's Christmas music to be pretty boring and this is no exception. I prefer almost every cover of this.

A classic is next, Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley. I quite like this song, I think Elvis works spectacularly with this song and the song itself is pretty catchy. I also really like whatever the heck the backup singers are doing. It actually fits surprisingly well with the song.

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Thurl Ravenscroft is next. This song's fine. Thurl sounds decent and the song's interesting enough.

Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney makes its debut this week. Again, I find this to be one of the more obscure Christmas songs.

Here Comes Santa Claus, It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas and Home for the Holidays all re-entered this week. Not much to say on that one except that it was expected.

Best Debut: This Christmas - Donny Hathaway

Biggest Drop: willow - Taylor Swift (-37): Oof. Well, I guess I expected it to drop so much from its #1 debut last week, but this is still a little sad.

Biggest Jump: Run Rudolph Run - Chuck Berry (+19): Ok cool.

Afterglow - Ed Sheeran (#59) [1]

Gnat - Eminem (#60) [1]

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Justin Bieber (#61) [1]

Please Come Home for Christmas by the Eagles is the first On the Verge debut. This song's fine. It's not too interesting, but it's fine. Whoever's singing sounds good and the production's alright.

Yeah, so I really like Michael Jackson, and I think he had a really good voice for his age when he was younger, but oh boy, it's pretty annoying. Yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say. (Oh yeah, by the way, the song is Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by The Jackson 5)

Oh yeah, The Beach Boys existed. These guys really only have one sound and in their Christmas song, Little Saint Nick, they don't really change up that formula at all. It's fine.

I've already expressed how much I like Michael Bublé's Christmas music and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is definitely no exception here. I really love his voice with this music and this is a great song too.

Okay, just copy+paste everything I said about Mele Kalikimaka except with I'll Be Home For Christmas.

Oh dang, Hallelujah by Carrie Underwood and John Legend is pretty great. Both of these artists have fantastic voices and they sound pretty good together. This song is only slightly boring, but I think their voices definitely more than make up for it.

Wow, this was a while ago. Afterglow by Ed Sheeran makes its On the Verge debut this week. I really like this song. I think Ed Sheeran sounds pretty great here aside from the robotic harmonies and the production and the song as a whole are good enough to support a slower song like this. This is a pretty good song and although I personally prefer his faster stuff, I definitely don't hate these types of songs either.

Okay, so Eminem released Music To Be Murdered By - Side B on this week and Gnat debuts On the Verge this week. This song's fine. It's definitely not one of his best and can't really compare with songs like Godzilla, Love The Way You Lie or The Monster. The production's not too interesting and there's way too many COVID-19 references for me to enjoy this.

Yeah, so Justin Bieber released an Amazon Prime Music original cover of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree and while I have Amazon Prime Music, I really don't feel like going out of my way just to listen to a Christmas song. So... yeah, no opinion.

Hot 100 Top 40: Week of December 19, 2020 - Mariah Carey (4)

Mariah Carey (4)

Hey guys, so this will probably be the last Hot 100 post of 2020 that I'll actually get out on time, since I normally get my posts out on Friday and on top of already being busy with Year-End stuff, the next two Fridays fall on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. So yeah, I may not get my posts out on those two days, but they should come somewhat shortly after. Here's the exits for this week.

#1: All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey (+1) [4th week at #1] {? weeks}

Last Year's #1: All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey [1/4 weeks at #1]

So the first returning Christmas song this week comes in at #40, Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry. This isn't that good. Chuck Berry really doesn't sound that good and the song itself isn't all that interesting. Also, why is it called Run Rudolph Run when the line is "run run rudolph"? It just makes no sense.

So Ariana Grande's Christmas song Santa Tell Me makes its debut on the Top 40 this week (I think) and I'm really glad that it's here, as it's one of the best Christmas songs of all time. Ariana Grande's already a good artist and this song's honestly just really catchy and a lot of fun. Yeah, great song and I hope it does decently here.

I don't really feel the need to talk about the three Christmas songs that debuted On the Verge last week.

Anyways, our last entrant is On Me by Lil Baby at #30. This song just isn't that interesting and Lil Baby doesn't sound good. There's not much else to say about this, since the song's just kind of substanceless and I can't see this sticking around at all.

Best Debut: Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

Biggest Drop: Dynamite - BTS (-14): Aw. Whatever, it's kind of old anyways and it'll be back as soon as these Christmas songs clear up.

Biggest Jump: A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives & Last Christmas - Wham! (+10): For Holly Jolly Christmas, whatever and for Last Christmas I'm happy that it tied its peak from last year already and I really hope it enters the top 10.

Love You Like I Used To - Russell Dickerson (#61) [3; 2nd time]

B.S. - Jhené Aiko/H.E.R. (#62) [3; 2nd time] 

Lil Baby scores another song on the Hot 100 this week, called Errbody. This literally sounds exactly like On Me except Lil Baby sounds slightly better and the production's slightly better.

Paul McCartney (of The Beatles)'s Christmas song, Wonderful Christmastime appears On the Verge this week. While I like this song, it's just really odd and hard to get behind. I don't know, it's just a very strange song.

An actual mainstream song, Whoopty by CJ debuts this week. This is alright. Overall, nothing about it is too special and it could easily just fade into the background as just another rap song, but all that being said, it's pretty good. CJ has decent flow and the production's pretty cool. Yeah, this is a good song.

The much better Kelly Clarkson Christmas song debuts on the Hot 100 this week. It was just released this year, but Under The Mistletoe with Brett Eldredge is so much better than Underneath the Tree. Both artists actually have pretty great chemistry here and despite Brett Eldredge being a country singer, he has a pretty big voice. Yeah, good song.

Both I Should Probably Go To Bed and B.S. re-entered this week. I couldn't care less about either song.

Santa Tell Me If You're Really Blurbs!

So the Top 40 songs we lost this week were: ROCKSTAR, WAP, More Than My Hometown, Be Like That, Savage Love and Life Goes On. All of these will probably come back except for probably Life Goes On.

We also lost some On the Verge songs: Prisoner and the two Bad Bunny songs. I don't really care that any of these songs are gone.

Both Go Crazy and Blinding Lights were the only non-Christmas songs to jump this week. I guess Go Crazy's just gaining a lot in pop airplay and Blinding Lights is probably there because of it being named #1 of the year.

Not too much else to talk about. Next week should be pretty interesting though, as Taylor Swift released an album, but there's also all the Christmas songs.
