Holiday Songs, Election Boost and TikTok Trend Top Billboard Streaming News

We are barely into November, and Mariah Carey and Wham! are already neck and neck at the top of the holiday streaming pile. Meanwhile, a TikTok trend and one election night did some serious heavy lifting on the charts. The Christmas race is a coin flip Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" drew nearly 9.99 million official on-demand U.S. streams for Nov. 1-7, according to Luminate. "Last Christmas" was right behind at nearly 9.98 million over that same stretch — a gap so small it's basically a rounding error. Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" ranked behind both with 7.38 million streams for Nov. 1-7. And it flipped on the early data. Over Nov. 8-9, "Last Christmas" logged 3.1 million combined streams versus 2.9 million for "All I Want," per early Luminate numbers. On the Billboard Hot 100 dated Nov. 14, "Last Christmas" ranked No. 37 and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" No. 39. An election night bump for Bobby Pulido Bobby Pulido's catalog amassed 3.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams Nov. 4-6, up 211% from Oct. 31-Nov. 2, according to Luminate. His 1996 song "Desvelado" drew 2.1 million streams in that post-election period, up 181%. A TikTok trend does the rest Nova Charisma's "Stolen from Each Other" earned 1.54 million streams Oct. 30-Nov. 5 — up 1,921% from 76,000 three weeks earlier, per Luminate. What this means for listeners It's a fun reminder that the songs we replay every year and the ones that blow up overnight are often sharing the same chart space. Whether that makes you want to dig out the holiday playlist early or go find the song behind the trend, there's plenty to listen for this week. Which one are you playing first — the Christmas classic or the TikTok discovery?
