Mariah Carey Now Has the Longest-Running Holiday No. 1 Hit Songs

 

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is on top of the Hot 100 yet again, becoming the longest-running holiday No. 1 song ever. Earlier this month, she previously tied “The Chipmunk Song,” the only other holiday No. 1, which ran for four weeks beginning in 1958; Taylor Swift’s “willow” knocked Carey down to second last week before her return to the top spot. 

“All I Want for Christmas” first hit No. 1 in 2019, 25 years after its release, thanks largely to a dedicated buying and streaming push from fans. That seems to have been the case this time, too, after Carey’s song broke Spotify’s single-day streaming record on Christmas. Since Billboard forward-dates its charts, “All I Want for Christmas” will be No. 1 on the January 2, 2021 chart, giving Carey the honor of being our first top song of the New Year — an honor she also nabbed last year with the same song. Always a step ahead, that woman.

#Stream Taylor Swift - Midnights #Album

 

With its confident songwriting and understated synth-pop, Taylor Swift’s sophisticated 10th album indicates that she no longer feels she has to compete with her peers.

Still, perhaps it’s inevitable that people are intrigued as to Swift’s next move. There has been a lot of talk in recent years about the willingness of big stars to service their fans with more of the same.

What Do You Think About Nas New Album King's Disease?

Clocking in at 38 minutes, the 13-track LP follows 2018’s Nasir and hears production entirely handled by Hit-Boy. The esteemed New York rapper also enlists the help of Don Toliver, Big Sean, Charlie Wilson, Lil Durk and many more.

This collaborative effort with Hit-Boy is a long time coming, with Nas explaining that he and the producer have been trying to link up for years. Timing plays an important role in Nas’ creations, and it sounds like everything fell into place for King’s Disease.

Burna Boy Named Hottest Artist In Nigeria @burnaboy

It speaks volumes when your first-ever appearance on #TheList is at #1. That’s the kind of year Burna Boy has had.

His album, Outside, released as far back as January, is arguably the best album of 2018. His song “Ye” is arguably the biggest song of 2018. With over 60% of Team NJO voting him at #1, Burna Boy is the hottest artist in Nigeria!

Both home and abroad, Burna Boy has flourished. With Fall Out Boy’s “Mania” album earning a Grammy nod for “Best Rock Album“, Burna Boy could be going home with a Grammy in the next couple of months, thanks to his feature on the track “Sunshine Riptide“, the only feature on an album which peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

He also worked with the likes of Major Lazer and Lily Allen, got featured on YouTube’s Artist on the Rise, sold out Brixton Academy, and “Ye” went viral on Spotify USA (thanks in part to Kanye West’s “Ye” album). Let’s not forget, “Outside” got on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. All these and more have led to industry gatekeepers like DJ Ebro predicting a Burna Boy takeover in 2019.

Precyce Politix - "Calamari / Pagers" @precyce

This video-single isn't actually about the popular seafood dish Calamari but it is a lyrical exhibition loaded with effortless wordplay and relevant content. 

It's been a number of months since the collaborative project "DRUG-POLITIX" was released by Brooklyn [via NC] emcee Precyce Politix and Grammy nominated producer D.R.U.G.S Beats, they've both returned after a short break with another well-crafted concept visual for one of the most acclaimed songs on the album "Calamari," paired with the guilt ridden dark single "Pagers" which brings to reality the consequences of being in the wrong type of business with a conscience. If you didn't hear "DRUG-POLITIX" on the original release date it's available now via Bandcamp, iTunes and Spotify.
