I guess I'm the outlier here (big surprise), because I think this re-charting of Christmas oldies every year does nothing but distort the charts
even more than they already are. I could see a current Christmas song charting in the year it was released, but beyond that I'd just limit them to a Christmas chart. Seeing a 65 year old seasonal song at #1 makes no sense to me.
Well, that makes one of us. Not really sure what you're getting at here. Why should the age of an artist determine what chart their song appears on? I'll be the first to admit that I have no better idea on how to construct a chart in the 3rd decade of the 21st century, but when you see artists like Bad Bunny or a zillion rappers all called Lil' somebodyorother who get little or no airplay with dozens of chart hits something's wrong. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I miss the days when the Hot 100 was actually reflective of what you might hear on the radio. |

I feel like streaming has kind of replaced airplay. And rightfully so, in my opinion. I've always felt that what you hear on the radio has nothing to do with whether you wanted to hear it or not. I personally pay more attention to the streaming chart than I do to the Hot 100 these days. |

With Brenda Lee also "rockin'" atop the Country Digital
Songs and Country Streaming charts, why is she also not rockin' at the top of Hot Country Songs? Recurrents can re-chart there - Jimmy Buffett recently returned at #14 with "Margaritaville" shortly after he passed away. (The song fell one notch short of its original #13 peak in 1977.) If her song is #1 across all genres, you would think that would be enough to place her back on Country as well. Billboard's country chart rules can be somewhat suspect. After Olivia Newton-John passed away, five of her songs ranked on Country Digital Songs. These five as well as seven others charted on the overall Digital Songs Sales chart. Among the missing on the Country chart was "Let Me Be There" which went Top 10 Country on all four national singles charts (Billboard, Cashbox, R&R, Record World) and earned Olivia a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance - Female. Yet, "Let" was not included on the Country Digital Songs chart even though it ranked higher on the Digital Songs chart than "Please Mr. Please" that did chart Country that week! Conversely, some of Buffett's songs such as "Volcano" which never charted Country were considered Country after he passed and appeared on Country Digital Songs. |
