http://goo.gl/3pRRZi Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Hits New Hot 100 High, Reaches Top 20 for First Time 12/21/2015 by Gary Trust Carey's 1994 classic reaches a new peak (No. 18) while continuing atop the Holiday 100 chart. 此曲在今年首度进入Hot100前20名，之前最高纪录是2012年底的21名(榜单日期2013) More than two decades after its original release, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues to hit new heights. The 1994 carol rises 22-18 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Jan. 2, 2016), scoring its best rank ever on the chart. The song had previously peaked at No. 21 peak on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 5, 2013. Holiday Airplay与Holiday Streaming Songs继续保持冠军 Holiday Digital Songs下滑到第二名，输给The Voice冠军Jordan Smith新歌 "Christmas" also remains atop the Holiday 100 chart. It leads Holiday Airplay (38 million in all-format audience, up 22 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and Holiday Streaming Songs (8.3 million U.S. streams, up 10 percent), while slipping 1-2 on Holiday Digital Songs despite a 2 percent lift to 31,000 downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 17. (As previously reported, Jordan Smith, the newly-crowned champion of NBC's The Voice, debuts atop the overall Digital Songs chart, as well as Holiday Digital Songs, with "Mary Did You Know," which starts with 161,000 sold). All charts, including the Hot 100, will refresh tomorrow (Dec. 22) on Billboard.com. 至於为何这首红遍欧美的圣诞经典始终未能进入前20名？ 话说，这首歌见证了Hot 100榜单历年计算方式的转变： 1. 1994年发行时，这首歌只当作宣传单曲、没发实体单曲 以当时制度，未发行实体单曲就无法进入Hot 100 只能在其他仅计算电台点播数的小榜沾一下酱油 (闲聊：大家还记不记得1997年Natalie Imbruglia/Torn的故事？ 这首歌在美国电台点播拿下疯狂的连续11周冠军， 却因为未发行实体单曲成为榜史遗珠。 一直到1998年底bibo改制，才勉强进榜拿下第42名。 以前西洋大乐兵Johnny都说：这首歌只要卖出一张单曲就可以拿冠军了啊！） 继续回来看咪咪。 2. 1998年12月，bibo开放未作商业发行之单曲进榜， 於是在1999年底初次进榜夺下83名（榜单日期为2000年） 3. 2012年，bibo再度改制，若旧歌有能力进入Hot 100前50名，就让你入榜。 於是乎，这首歌再度破茧重生了： 21 (2012) --> 26 (2013) --> 35 (2014) --> 18 (2015) 真是各种爱恨纠葛。 How does Carey's "Christmas" reach a new high on the Hot 100 more than 21 years after its release? Its chart history is a bit tangled (like a string of Christmas tree lights freshly taken out of storage). The chronology: the song was first released as a promotional single to radio, but not as a commercially-available single, in 1994. It ushered in Carey's first seasonal album, Merry Christmas. The song's lack of original retail availability is key, as, per rules at the time, only tracks available as singles in stores could chart on the Hot 100. (Remember, this was the pre-digital era, when the only way to purchase individual songs was via physical singles, i.e., on CD, cassette or vinyl.) "Christmas" hit No. 6 on Adult Contemporary, No. 9 on Pop Songs and No. 12 on the all-genre Radio Songs tally (with all three charts based solely on airplay) in the winter of 1994-95, but was frozen out of the Hot 100. By December of 1998, non-commercially-available titles were allowed to appear on the Hot 100, and "Christmas" first hit the chart dated Jan. 8, 2000, spending a week at No. 83. By 2012, rules were amended so that older songs were allowed to chart on the Hot 100 if ranking in the top 50 and showing noteworthy continued gains. On Dec. 22, 2012, "Christmas" re-entered at No. 29; it rose to No. 21 two weeks later. It since hit highs of No. 26 (in winter 2013-14) and No. 35 (2014-15) before its new best rank this week. 截至本周，神曲在美国数位下载累积至310万次(从2003年bibo计算数位下载开始) 神专Merry Christmas累积550万张 "Christmas" has sold 3.1 million downloads (since Nielsen Music began scanning digital sales in 2003), ruling as the best-selling holiday download to date, while the Merry Christmas album has sold 5.5 million copies. The song has also spun off a new TV movie, A Christmas Melody, which premiered Saturday, Dec. 19, on Hallmark (with further airings scheduled this week). The film marks Carey's directorial debut and stars the diva, as well as Lacey Chabert. 神曲的共同创作者Walter Afanasieff当然也要出来讲讲话啦 "Thousands of original Christmas songs have been written in the last 20 years, but for whatever reason, it just became that song," Walter Afanasieff, who co-wrote "Christmas" with Carey, told Billboard in 2014. "It just keeps growing and growing. I believe it will be the most successful, popular Christmas song of all time." --
