The Billboard Hot 100 is decorated with both spiderwebs and mistletoe, thanks to hits central to Halloween and Christmas. As previously reported, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" hunts down a new No. 2 Hot 100 peak, more than 42 years after it first made the chart. It previously peaked at No. 4 in March 1984.
Five Halloween classics - plus Tame Impala and JENNIE's modern entry into the creepy song canon, "Dracula" - and two Christmas favorites scale the November 14-dated Hot 100, which reflects data in the United States October 30-November 5, according to Luminate. The tracking week, thus, encompassed Halloween and, the following day, Mariah Carey's annual proclamation that once again it's ti-ime for the yuletide season.
No. 39, "All I Want for Christmas Is You", Mariah Carey (reentry)
7.1 million streams (up 295%)
Carey's soloist-record 19th No. 1, released in 1994, has ruled for 22 weeks to date, the second-longest command in the Hot 100's history, after current leader "Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley. It also ranks as the top hit on Billboard's Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs retrospective. The song, like Wham!'s, will soon benefit from notable radio play as stations amp up holiday rotations.
