- I genuinely love that one. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 11:41 1

- I was disappointed there was no - Uhtred, son of Uhtred Jan 2, 11:36
Please note, not one version of Little Drummer Boy to be seen. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 11:32 4

  - i think Bowie/Bing would the be choice of streamers. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 11:37 1
    - Here's the holiday only streaming chart, looks like it's Bing at #38 -- (link) - Tim Jan 2, 11:40
  - Vienna Boys Choir maybe. -- nm - Uhtred, son of Uhtred Jan 2, 11:36
#29 should be the winner every year. -- nm - David Jan 2, 11:30
I just this past week realized it was Ronnie Spector on Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 11:26 2

AKA no one buys music anymore -- nm - oblique Jan 2, 11:23 4
- The rapid rise and fall of iTunes' impact on the charts is amazing, actually. The best selling song last week (Halsey - Without Me) - Tim Jan 2, 11:29 3

    - Yeah, found it. December 2016 -- (link) - oblique Jan 2, 11:44
I've mentioned Slate's "Hit Parade" podcast before, but their December 21st episode on the UK Christmas Song charts is a great listen. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 11:23 2

  - He's got a great podcast voice and I love that series. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 11:36
I wonder if there could be a way to apply the current algorithm to old charts. - Mop Jan 2, 11:22
