Billboard BREAKDOWN - Hot 100 - December 28, 2024 (...no new debuts...)

[@piran1807]

You have to admire Mark’s dedication to this series. He still uploads an episode even when there are no new arrivals lmao. Turns out that this is only the third time in Hot 100 history that it’s happened. The first instance was on January 17th 1998 and the second was on the exact same day in 2009.

[@ShrekTheSecond]

Wow crazy coincidence

[@samfeldstein4498]

Coincidentally Lady Gaga was on both this and the last instance of that occurring and if you don't count the Christmas songs then she could technically be considered at #1 on both charts as well. Also this is the first time there isn't a new #1 song along with no new entries since the last 2 incidences Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden and Just Dance hit #1

For me personally, "...no new debuts..." easily takes the Best Of The Week, with "...no new debuts..." snagging the Honourable Mention. As for the worst, I think I have to give it to "...no new debuts...", although "...no new debuts..." was not far behind it as the Dishonourable Mention.

@@Oble_Noceda I've not heard the song before but I'm glad that the World Hit segment makes a brief reappearance. Speaking of which, 'Push 2 Start' debuted on the Bubbling Under chart today so hopefully it become another hit for Tyla in the new year.

I have been watching billboard breakdown since early to mid 2017 and it's been fascinating. I got to watch Mark progress from hating Juice Wrld's music to just being incessantly mad at the label for milking his image and many other things. I still remember when Post Malone was this man's musical arch nemesis and basically every trap song was a near instant lock for worst of the week and DHM.

[@V3r0nicle]

Funnily enough its been years since this phenomenon has happened even if it does make for quite a boring week ngl And Ive been keeping my peepers on the US Billboard charts since I was 17 years old

[@lilmissdifferent99]

Funny how quiet the Hot 100 is for this week because the Billboard 200 hit a historic mark: Stray Kids' 'HOP' went to #1 on there, which yes, makes them the first act EVER to have their first six albums debut at #1 on that chart! As someone who's only been following their content for a year now, this makes me so happy! 🥳

Here, have a ranking of every Killers Christmas song. Merry Christmas. I could care less. 11. I'll Be Home For Christmas (This isn't even a song.) Now onto the songs that I often feel like returning to. 10. Joel the Lump of Coal (The only time Jimmy Kimmel was tolerable. I also think it perfectly sums up how much I considering the term "catchy" to mean something when this is the catchiest song on the list.) 9. Dirt Sledding 8. ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! (Better than Feliz Navidad because this song actually has verses.) 7. A Great Big Sled 6. Boots 5. Joseph, Better You Than Me (This kinda shrunk on me since last year. I should add that while I wouldn't go as far as to call myself an atheist, I'm not a religious person. I don't have anything against it, but it's never been part of my life. I'm neutral on it at best. So I think the fact that this song was this high on the list despite that sums up how good the presentation is.) 4. The Cowboys' Christmas Ball (This kinda grew on me since last year. This also has my favorite music video of the group.) 3. I Feel It In My Bones 2. Don't Shoot Me Santa 1. Christmas In L.A. (My second favorite Christmas song of all time behind Christmas Lights by Coldplay. They didn't need to make a Christmas song this good.) Shame that I got around to listening to half of these songs that matter too late for them to spend a week on my personal chart.

I was actually talking to a Kiwi friend of mine after listening to the song Cookie, I thought it was very very funny so I showed it to him. He also thought it was very funny but pointed out a historical pov that I hadn't considered. The song is about Captain James Cook, a British explorer and imperialist during the 18th century, particularly around his death. Which while making the song a lot darker, also makes it a bit goofier, especially with how they take a threatening and violent figure in NZ history and de-fang him by referring to him as "cookie".

Billboard Bubbling Under Top 25: December 28, 2024 (Given how short this week is, I'm going to try and keep this post brief since given SZA's coming next week with an album bomb for LANA I don't expect anything here to crossover until afterward with a few exceptions.) 1. Nadie by Tito Double P (+1) 2. Rio Free by Rio da Yung OG (New) 3. Cowboy Songs by George Birge (-2) 4. Boys Back Home by Dylan Marlowe & Dylan Scott (+1) 5. Mirame by Blessd & Ovy On The Drums (New) (This mainly crossed over here thanks to a remix with Anuel AA that dropped about two weeks ago.) 6. Ends Of The Earth by Ty Myers (+3) 7. Presidente by Gabito Ballesteros, Natanael Cano, Neton Vega & Luis R Conriquez (+1) 8. Walkin On Water by Stray Kids (New) 9. The Line by Twenty One Pilots (Re-Entry) 10. Santa Baby by Laufey (+11) (Repeat my last statement on #14 and apply it here.) 11. Dreamin by PARTYNEXTDOOR (-1) 12. Weren't For The Wind by Ella Langley (New) (Speaking of the general public backing up popular enough tracks in sales for country artists, this could get pushed properly for Ella as her next single to follow up if given the chance and I wouldn't complain as its a good track too.) 13. Headlock by Imogen Heap (=) 14. Run Rudolph Run by Mark Ambor (New) (Another Spotify holiday single where you wouldn't expect it to be covered by the lead artist, but we'll see if either this or #20 can break through next week for the peak of holiday activity.) 15. Bigger Houses by Dan + Shay (+1) 16. Push 2 Start by Tyla (New) (I know there is an audience that wants this to be huge, especially as her chance to follow up Water's success, but if it doesn't start picking up traction on streaming, in America I should clarify, then it won't get very far.) 17. Make It To The Morning by PARTYNEXTDOOR (-2) 18. Beanie by Chezile (New) (I was wondering when this would show up here given I've been seeing it on Spotify charts for a while.) 19. Don't Mind If I Do by Riley Green ft. Ella Langley (Re-Entry) (It seems like whoever is Riley Green's singles can't capitalize on good timing for radio pushes given the sales for this track are clearly speaking from the general public. For the record, Worst Way is only now getting pushed as his next single to country radio.) 20. Holiday Road by Kesha (New) (I bet nobody expected this holiday tune to get covered, let alone by Kesha of all people.) 21. House Again by Hudson Westbrook (+3) 22. Here We Go (Uh Oh) by Coco Jones (-5) 23. This Town's Been Too Good To Us by Dylan Scott (-3) 24. Little Things by Ella Mai (-1) 25. Rosones by Jorsshh & Fuerza Regida (-13)

I'm gonna wait until the final nominees actually gets announced to do so. -Do I have to listen to The Journey when I update the 2020's Oscar songs ranking? I don't want to. Do I need to find out what happens when an unstoppable force (H.E.R.) meets an immovable object (Diane Warren)? At least we still have Fight For You. -I'm still barely above lukewarm on Marren Morris Wild Robot song. And yet, I'd still be fine with it getting nominated because Marren deserves it after her and her newborn recieved threats after calling someone out for being racist. -Likewise, I haven't listened to Harper and Will Go West, but not matter what, I'll be fine with it being nominated because trans rights. abcdef the Annoying Orange. -What? The Twisters song on the list isn't Ain't No Love in Oklahoma? The Oscars prioritize quality sometimes? -I was originally gonna go on a tangent about how despite Elton John being one of my favorite artists, I'm not a fan of Never Too Late. But then I re-listened to the song and it grew on me. It's sweet. I'm Gonna Love Me Again was the last time the Oscars gave the award to the best song of the year. -I'm glad to see Forbidden Road here. I mean, at the end of the day, it's a really simple song about following a path. As someone who's done with these types of Oscars songs, I shouldn't care about this. And yet, the song is actually pretty charming and likable. It's the best use of these cliches. And I'm glad Robbie borrowed an idea from his Struts friends and had a crowd chant. -I've seen it show up in a few prediction lists, and I still chuckled when I saw Piece By Piece on the list. And yet it's still a justified choice. It's sad how it might be one of the better songs on the list. I might be disappointed if it doesn't make the final cut. So I wrote a lot of stuff. Because of that, I'm splitting this comment into two parts. Second part is in the replies. I talk about the best movie song of the year in the reply.

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

-Can we all agree that Mufasa Song and Moana 2 Song are the two biggest waste of space in the shortlist? -ClawMachinefromISawtheTVGlowdidn'tmaketheshortlistwhatthefuckthatsongiseasilythebestmoviesongoftheyearandmilesbetterthanany2020'sOscarnominatedsongtheygaveabestoriginalsongwintoasongwithakindaawfullastminuteearlierthisdecadetheygaveashortlistentrytoasongfromthatCinderellamoviewithJamesCordenbuttheydidn'tgiveashortlistentrytoClawMachinebutgaveonetoamoviethatwasoriginallysupposedtobeashowinstead. Then again, I'm not actually surprised it wasn't in the list. Claw Machine is a beautiful work of art. Of course movie award shows aren't gonna acknowledge it. Shame considering how Claw Machine is a Song, but movie awards shows don't care about quality music. -El Mal is a fine I guess choice for the current frontrunner for winning the award. It's better visually in the movie than as a song, but it's kinda cool sounding. It's a better choice than Mi Camino. -I once found an article about the shortlist songs where their examples of snubbed songs didn't include Claw Machine, but instead Ain't No Love in Oklahoma, a Mean Girls remake song, an Ed Sheeran song, a Miley Cyrus song, and a fucking Joker 2 song. Who told that person they can have thoughts? Can't wait to see which four of the fourteen will get nominated. Maybe the year after next year will be the first year this decade they give the award to the best movie song of the year.

@@TLcharts Is that Holiday Road the same as the National Lampoon's Vacation one? Canadians actually chose to utilize my joke mindset of considering stuff like Holiday House by Beach House and Epic Holiday by Angels & Airwaves to be Christmas songs?

merry christmas mark :) ! i look forward to another year of hearing your knowledge and hot takes.

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

This doesn't have anything to do with this week's chart. But I want to go back to something I said a year ago on this channel. The last time I made one of those comments of every number one song and movie pairing of the year, the next one is next week, I said "let's find out what songs get paired with The Garfield Movie, Despicable Me 4, Sonic 3, and other meme movies." To be honest, despite saying that, I didn't really expect Sonic 3 to go to number one. Hate to say, but I expected Mufasa to take that spot instead. Don't wrong, I would've preferred Sonic 3 too. But here's the thing. Yes, I get that Sonic is one of the most iconic video game characters of all time. But it's still a movie from a film franchise that made $400,000,000 at most against a prequel to the at the time highest grossing animated film of all time that was already a remake of a strong contender for the most iconic animated film of all time. It seemed more likely that gullible parents were gonna go with the lesser option. I was originally gonna say "at least Mufasa could trojan horse current kids into being into a great movie." But unlike other scenarios where that seemed possible like the Tom and Jerry or the 2016 Ghostbusters, what parents introduce their kids to the remakes before the original Disney classics? But no, Sonic 3 actually ended up making almost twice as much as Mufasa did. Truly the underdog story of the year. Then again, we've all seen those memes of how the Sonic movies seem to end a franchise that had a movie around the same time. With the second one, they also had the help of a different movie with a fox in it to beat transphobia. Barbenheimer wishes it could be The Unbearable Weight of The Bad Northman. I should add that I like how I said that last year, like I didn't know what song was gonna get paired with it. At least it's better than what the other two meme movies got besides A Bar Song. Just like how I haven't actually Sonic 3 yet, but I still know it was a better movie than the other two. That film was truly the last piece of fun before everything goes to Hell. Give me my Crash Bandicoot movie.

I haven't watched this channel in a while but I only watched just for the historic nature of this week's chart with this being the 3rd chart with no new entries on the Billboard Hot 100 with the last time being January 17th 2009 and the first time was coincidentally January 17th 1998

Top 10 worst charting songs of 2024 (IMO) 10. Miles on it - Marshmallow + Kane brown 9. Women's world - Katy Perry 8. Thick of it - KSI ft trippie redd 7. Dirty - Jessie Murph ft Teddy swims 6. WHISKEY WHISKEY - Moneybagg Yo ft Morgan Wallen (LMFAO) 5. Truck bed - HARDY 4. FACTS - Tom Macdonald ft Ben Sharpiro (its kinda low because it is standard for Tom to make songs like this) 3. HOODRAT/KING - Ye + Ty dolla sign (i know everyone chose carnival since it was the hit, but i think hoodrat is even more embarrassing for ye, and king is just lyrically worse than carnival IMO) 2. Cry - Benson Boone (no) 1. Bigfoot - Nicki Minaj (10-2 has a closer gap compared to 2-1)

[@Oble_Noceda]

The only disagree is truck bed

[@Wdjtekryhsg]

miles on it wasn't bad

[@ShrekTheSecond]

I would’ve added I Don’t Wanna Wait by David Guetta & One Republic and Think You The Fart by Ice Spice

Guess which song didn’t go number (part 2/2): A. Drake - In My Feelings B. Drake - One Dance (ft. Wizkid & Kyla) C. Drake - Hotline Bling D. Drake - What’s Next

[@juhaniaho6698]

Hotline Bling got stuck at number two, because BBL Drizzy released the music video exclusively to Apple Music instead of KZbin.

I think Christmas officially broke Billboard's system this week. Hilarious, and I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. Next week, I'm not sure HOW big the SZA album bomb will be, but it is also the last week for holiday music, and for this week, I'm going to rank songs on the Bubbling Under chart for the best and worst. Let me know what you guys think of the songs over there. BOTW: Push 2 Start - Can we stop using the "industry plant" term for Tyla, please? Afrobeats has been a popular genre for a couple years now, and you're not using the term on people like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, Rema, or plenty others in the vein. Anyway, really good song, would not mind at all if this crosses over, especially as someone who loves "Water". HM: Little Things - This spot was tough, but I've been getting into Ella Mai's material quite a bit lately, especially love the "Mustard on da beat, ho" line being deep in the intro, cracks me up all the time. Can we let both top songs chart in 2025? Please? DM: Rosones (Fuerza Regida version) - Honestly, I can see why Peso Pluma kicked Fuerza Regida off of his cousin's song. Tito Double P at least has a personality. Also, who the hell is this Jorsshh guy? And why is his name like that? WOTW: Rio Free - I think the popularity of Sexyy Red is going to be bringing back rappers who can barely stay on beat and when they do, they sound sloppy as hell. And this was the biggest debut on the Bubbling Under, really? Anyways, Merry Christmas y'all!
